Our Belgian Beer Selections

Chimay Red Trappist Ale 9% ABV $7.5

Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness.

This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized.

Delerium Tremens Golden Ale 8.5% ABV $7.5

Triple fermented, bubbly, golden blonde and packs a wallop. Brewed by Brewery Huyghe NV in Melle, Belgium. In 1997 it was elected Best Beer in the World by Stuart A. Kallen.

A unique Trappist beer that is even put to rest sorted by year in the cellars of the abbey for further fermentation. The strongest beer of La Trappe with a beautiful amber colour. The warm taste is full and well-balanced. A little bit sweet and pleasantly bitter.

Urthel Hop-It Blonde Ale 9.5% ABV $7.5
