>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 2 20:49:32 2018 No.11281692 Trappist beers are great and definitely worth trying. Orval is my favorite, Chimay after that. Rochefort doesn't quite do it for me

There are so many new local beers constantly coming out that I honestly forget to go back and try the classic Belgiums. Out of the OP pic I'd like to say that the Rochefort right in the center is my favorite, but I honestly need to go back and try all of them, but they're kind of expensive and overlooked in the US.

For the most part, they’re fantastic. Also recommend trying out St. Bernardus Abt. 12, it’s right up there, and a hell of a lot easier to get than Westy XII.

Also, just got Curmudgeon’s Better Half in my area for the first time. It’s so fucking good. Reminds me of what BWB used to be. Pic related.

There was this shit bar on 6th street in Austin, TX that sold chimay on tap for dirt cheap. Like $2.50 per pint. I told my parents about it and they went and invited a bunch of their boomer friends. Now its like $8 per pint. I have no idea who priced the chimay those first couple weeks but what a retard.

I sometimes drink an Orval when I visit my parents, but trappists and belgian beers in general outside of gueuzes and lambics don't interest me much anymore since I drank that for ten years before more stuff got available where I live early 2010s

I've seen that happen a bunch of times in South Philly. Neighborhood gentrifies so the old Miller/Bud/Coors only bars try to change to keep up, but don't know what the fuck they're doing. You end up with dirt cheap high ABV beers being sold by the pint. The one barman legit didn't know beer could be more than 4% and was super confused why people were getting smashed on just a couple beers.

Trappists are usually just high-quality Belgians, mostly trippels and quadrupels.
Try Allagash (regular) and Fin Du Monde for common tripels, and St Bernardus (which is apparently a clone of Westy 12, considered the best Trappist beer by many, though I can't confirm) or Delirium Tremens for quads, they'll sell those everywhere. Then dive into whichever style you like better, I'm a tripel man myself and there are a lot of unique spice profiles out there.

Probably because Weihenstephaner is exclusively made in Germany, not even 50km away from where I'm living.
I do prefer Erdinger Weiße to Weihenstephan though.

>>11300682
Brewers did use "strange" stuff in brewing. There were all sorts of local brews in the HRE that were lost to history as the Bavarian custom of Reinheitsgebot spread, none were using literal poison. People knew what plants made them sick, and most brewing was done at home or very small scale for your family and the neighboring farms, not people most were looking to poison. There is no evidence that "beer quality" was ever a problem.

And the idea that preventing brewers from using wheat, rye, and oats, or even fruit increased purity is straight up marketing bullshit by the big Munich breweries spun much after the law was created, and is probably the single most important reason why Belgium and later America makes such better beer than Germany

Germany actually has it fairly bad when it comes to small breweries and diverse selections. A downside of having some of the best cheap macro beers in the world was little pressure to make better more interesting stuff, a few good cool beers survived, but most were killed by reinheisgebot

I haven't researched it, but if I recall correctly Stone is doing a bunch to try and help local craft brewing there. Check before taking my word for it but I believe they feature beer from a variety of good small German breweries as well as operating their own brewery locally

But really, just google "craft beer bars" that will probably be more reliable than what most of us know about your city

yeah, but the surviving local brands are still pretty homogeneous.

And along with that, one of the most important differences between modern craft breweries and legacy breweries is variety. Many modern breweries will be making 10-20 beers at a time, and beyond that rotate through the year. It allows for experimentation and evolution that just isn't seen with legacy brewers
