Bargain of 2011 - Leffe Blonde 750ml €1.50
Comments

Hell no Leffe is in a league of its own! Chimay just cannot compete.
Duvel is like liquid sex, thankfully I have an everlasting supply
Thems fightin' words! Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE leffe... my wife and i put on a dubious french accent when we have one, "Oh Leffe, I love you!"
That said, Chimay is definitely superior but pay attention to the label.. there's the dubbel (red) , tripel (white), and grand reserve (blue). IMHO the tripel is the best of the lot with many layers of complex flavours. I treat it like a fine port, savour every sip, and generally have just one! What a different beer/style to try and compare to a belgian blonde like Leffe (to which Duvel is more similar and again superior).
Don't get me started, I brew my own so you're dealing with a beer nerd.0 -

And here it is, the original abbey was in Namur in Waloonia (not Flemish). btw, i'm not this big of a beer nerd, i did have to use wikipedia!
But in reality it is mass-produced by Anheuser–Busch InBev (unlike Chimay which is one of a handful of trappist beers).0 -

Blanche De Namur is also a fantasic beer, really tasty.
The Duvel Brewery is in Puurs in Belgium, its only an hour and a half drive from my house.
Driving there was disgusting, 8 yoyos for a tour and all the beer you could drink at the end + a free gift of 3 bottles of Maredsous and a Glass.
I was almost crying watching my G/F and my mate lashing into free La Chouffe and Mc Chouffe + Duvel and Vedett.
They were hammered going back in the Car.
This post has brought back the sad memories.0 -
