Here are some important facts about Belgium Ales<\/p>\n

Trappist<\/em> beer is actually made by Trappist monks , dating back to 530ad
\nDubbel<\/em>\u00a0 Rich malty beer with some spicy\u00a0 characteristics
\nTripel<\/em>\u00a0 Three times the amount of malt than a standard Belgium beer
\nQuadrupel<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Great strength with bolder flavor,\u00a0\u00a0Full bodied, rich and malty
\nOthers<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0include Lambics, Witbier, Saison and Gueuze to name a few styles<\/p>\n

The Trappist monks at The Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren, Belgium, aren’t in the business of brewing beer for the riches or glory \u2014 they brew only enough to support themselves and their abbey.\u00a0 In the mid 2000’s, the made a\u00a0Westvleteren\u00a0 XII,<\/strong><\/em> a dark, quadrupel-style belguim ale. This\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 was rated the best beer in the world.\u00a0 \u00a0I’ve tasted it a couple of times and quite frankly, I wasnt all that impressed.\u00a0 But then again, I am not a big fan of Belgium style beers.\u00a0 I do have one more that I am cellar aging to try in perhaps another year.\u00a0 \u00a0This brewery is relatively small, producing\u00a0 about\u00a0\u00a0126,000 gallons a year, as compared to Chimay,<\/em> which produces about 3.2 million gallons a year.\u00a0 There was so much hyped when this was first released, people stood on lines to get this ale.\u00a0 \u00a0Some people were willing to spend $50 a bottle just to get one!<\/p>\n
