      I think I once read on a box of Chimay that there are only 7 Trappist breweries in the world- 6 Belgian, one Dutch.  So based on statistical averages, beer brewed in abbeys = Belgian is usually the right call.

        From Wiki:

        There are currently seven breweries that are allowed to have the products they sell display the Authentic Trappist Product logo:

        Bières de Chimay
        Brasserie d'Orval
        Brasserie de Rochefort
        Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
        Brouwerij Westvleteren/St Sixtus
        Brouwerij der Sint-Benedictusabdij de Achelse Kluis/Achel
        Brouwerij de Koningshoeven/La Trappe

        Of course: then there are dozens and dozens of other abbey beers…

          ^Yep, but those abbey beers are commercialised beers and not actually brewed by monks … there probably will be an eight Trappist later this year called Stift Engelszell from Austria (they haven't officially been granted the label just yet) ...

            St Feuillien blond. As you know I'm a HUGE fan of their extra blond dégustation beer, so was wondering what the normal blond would taste like. Well: it is enormeously good. Not a tripel, but still a 7.5° beer!.. This and the La Trappe tripel were the two beers I added to my shop's stock a week ago… Both passing with flying colours!..

                            Tastes fine though :). That's what counts.

                                      Seul, I finally found it. I did have to travel to AC, but I found it… For $30 and $33

                                      Went with the Dubbel but will certainly be trying out the Tripel or Quad VERY SOON!

                                      Oh yeah…

                                        Wait why didn't you get the Westmalle Tripel for 14??? Best Belgian beer, as I told you before, or did you mix up my posts?..  😃

                                          Hmmm, maybe because I was on a two day bender in AC and you are lucky I remembered a thing. 😉 I would have tried them all if I could have. Maybe next time. I was more than pleased with my selection either way.
