There was something I had from there that was actually pretty good. Damned if I can remember what the hell it was though.



I believe it may have been called "wine".

Ok so guys, a new beer store opened up in my town last april, and no one told me about it! Well they did actually, but I forgot somehow. Anyway, I just got some late christmas cash, and I need to make up for lost time. Here's a list of all the beers they have, if you guys see anything that you've had and recommend, let me know!
:eek: Holy crap dude!  I wish I had a beer store near me that was 10% as awesome as that one.

You know what, screw you!  :p  I have to drive an hour to find a store that carries a decent amount of the "obvious" stuff on your list.

Here, you want to start with this part of the list and work your way down:

But seriously, the ones I noticed on the list that I have had before and would give my recommendation for are Achouffe Houblon, Achouffe Mac Chouffe, Nice Chouffe, De Ranke XX Bitter, Delirium Nocturnum, Delirium Noel, Saison Dupont, Saint Bernardus ABT, Saint Bernardus Prior, Scotch Silly, Orval, Rochefort 10, and Achel Brun, but there's a whole bunch of stuff on that list that I haven't ever heard of before.
I will answer ANY prayer for $39.95.*

No it wasn't Moretti, and there are other Italian beers. They have craft beers.

Living in Belgium has it's perks :)

I get those trappists (Achel, Rochefort, Orval) at the grocery store, as well as all the Chouffe. I've had all the St. Bernardus and Délirium beers, and the Saison Dupont, but I'll give the other two a try! Thanks

Yeah, but people in Belgium grow up on Trappist beer and Belgian chocolate and cheese, and think it's nothing special -- that's just what beer, chocolate, and cheese taste like -- and everything else is a disappointment after that. 

See, I grew up on Bud Light, Hershey's, and Kraft, and thought that was normal, just what beer, chocolate, and cheese taste like, and now I've got almost nothing but upside.

De Ranke XX Bitter is a similar style to Achouffe Houblon, and Scotch Silly is a similar style to Mac Chouffe, if that helps you make up your mind.

I'm American too, ya know. I've just been living here for a couple years.

And yes, that helps me make up my mind :) I'll be grabbing some De Ranke soon.
But not too soon, as on monday I got 6 new beers, yesterday I got a crate of cuvée des trolls, and today I grabbed 4 Paix Diex (because they're so so good and so hard to find). I don't think my girlfriend would approve if I hit the beer store again tomorrow, with 30-something high quality beers already in our apartment.

I was looking at that motley crew of beers.  I think I've had most if not all as well.  Not ashamed to say it, either.  :D  How do you know what you like if you don't TRY?!  But there are some awesome ones in there, too, like the Delirium and La Fin du Monde.
