I have a confession to make. I have never been able to develop a taste for Belgian beers. I've tried maybe a half-dozen or so and they just don't do it for me. I've never been able to get past the 'funk'. I've tried Dubbels, Trippels, and even some Lambics. Even American beers listed as Belgian-styles don't really appeal to me that much. Whenever someone hands me one I'll smile and drink it, but I don't go back for seconds.
Based on all the fanfare around Belgian beers I feel like I'm missing out. So I've decided that I'm going to give them another go. I'm determined to find some I like, even if I have to drink my way through the entire country. The good news is I won't have to travel, because there is a shop nearby that carries a lot of them.
Today I picked up Delirium Nocturnum and Delirium Tremens. I've heard good things about these. I figure I'll start high-end and work my way down (When I say high-end I mean 'Holy crap - I can't believe I'm paying this much for a bottle of beer').
I'm looking for ideas, so if anyone has anything they think I should try, and I can get my hands on, I will try it and report back.
Thanks and wish me luck!
