Tribute to Belgian Beer

I first fell in love with beer while working in a wine bar. Ironic maybe, but learning to taste wine ultimately taught me how to appreciate flavor. I won't geek out in foodie land for too long, but I've recently been lucky enough to enjoy some really incredible Belgian beers that inspired this post. There is something about Belgian beer that warms the soul...

Duvel. My First Love.
Delirium Tremens. Named for the acute episode of delirium usually caused from withdrawal from alcohol.



Chimay. Brewed by Cistercian Trappist monks since 1862.
St. Bernardus Abt 12 (10.5% alcohol content)
