What's your favorite Beer?

[Black Orchid]

@Seul  just wanted your input here… Went out to celebrate leaving Trowbridge for new and fresh pastures and got sick of the local Trowvegas Pubs.. Popped into the local supermarket, (don't be too harsh! We are very limited here) ok... So, I was rather seduced by the percentage but found it very hard to drink unlike my friend Duvel...what's the score?

@Black Orchid , if you're in Tesco then I heartily recommend picking up some Chimay Blue, it's £2.49 a bottle, dark Belgian Trappiste beer. Easily the best beer on offer at Tesco, and arguably one of the most consistently good beers in the world.

I can't make out what (brewery) that is, Madame Orchid… But you can check here:

And as a Belgian, I do apologise for Duvel...

[Black Orchid]

Thank you Mega but Trowbridge seems to be the armpit of West Wiltshire and here the stock representing Belgium is only  Leffe and Duvel but Hey we're leaving and have a plan hatching to visit Brussels to savour some quality [emoji12]

imho those are the best beers on that list, with the R10 being a personal favourite of mine. The Marriage Parfait is a little sour, but no so much as the other Gauze in their stock, a great introduction to Lambics.

[Chris]

Rodenbach Grand Cru is also a solid pick up.  Good example of a sour red.  Concur on Mega's suggestions.

Second the Rochefort10, albeit pricey here, it's seriously awesome!!! Chimay Blue is also pretty tasty. Wish there was a better Belgian selection here, not that we lack good brews, just that there's something seriously special about the good ones.

[Megatron1505]

Agree with all except the last 2, and you know I love Pannepeut.

[Seul]

I always underestimated the Pannepot Reserva… But I finally came round after having had two 2010s that were superb...

I might have to give the Pannepeut another go as well...
