OT - Happy Feestdag! Whats your favorite Belgium beer?

[WhiteBus]

Are you saying a beer from Belgium is properly referred to as a "Belgium beer" but not all Belgian beers are Belgium beers? I think a more grammatically-correct and universally understood distinction is Belgian beer vs. Belgian-style beer. I've seen the same error at diners that list Belgium waffle on their menu, which would be the same as saying France toast, Canada bacon, or Switzerland cheese. The confusion is probably just because Belgian and Belgium are very similar words when spoken.


Good to know, maybe I just never noticed it because I never sought it out. I'll check for it next time.

No I'm not saying that at all. I was simply asking the board what beers from Belgium that they like the best. I was trying to avoid getting the Blue Moon answer if I asked what is your favorite Belgian beer.
If I thought it was so important to be grammatically-correct than I should have titled the thread "Happy Feestdag, what is your favorite Belgian beer brewed in Belgium" but didn't think it was necessary. You and I (along with most others) may understand the difference of a true Belgian beer and a Belgian style. But trust me, as I sell beer for a living, it is not a universally know distinction. Not everyone loves beer like most here do. The Craft and import beer is still intimidating to the vast majority of people.

Except they do not have anything like Canadian Bacon in Canada, or French Toast in France.

I know it's not Belgian but it is brewed by the Trappists, La Trapp Tripel. I use to enjoy it @ Stage Left with a Burger at the bar.

I had a Quad the other day at https://worldofbeer.com/

Delirium Tremens is one of my favorites. But I like many of the others mentioned here: can't go wrong with Chimay or La Chouffe. I saw that they are now making Delirium Tremens available in cans. That's going to be dangerous if a few of those somehow sneak into a cooler on gameday.
