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.

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...

[Megatron1505]

I just find that R10 and Chimay Blue are more consistently good.

[Seul]

I've never had a bad Pannepot…
