I’ve always loved my beer, and have tried/experimented with easily well over 100 brands/names. And those who know me, know that my two favourite beers of recent times are Creemore and Pilsner Urquell … both very high quality and both easy to drink, and drink … and … lol. But since my self imposed beeratorium … and raising a glass with increasing infrequency (I’m somewhat embarrassed calling myself a beer drinker now … I feel like an excommunicated member, lol), I was prompted purchasing these. Trappist beers are a select group … only seven Trappist Monasteries qualify and are permitted to brew beer to be sold as Authentic Trappist Product. Inasmuch as I’m drinking less … hell, I might as well drink the very best … AND these beers (unlike my aforementioned beloved pilsners) are meant to be consumed at a much warmer temperature and really aren’t favourable to drinking more than one or two at a go … you ain’t guzzling, you won’t be pounding these back, lol. They’re meant to be savoured and enjoyed sparingly … which is exactly what I’m doing on this lazy hazy Sunday afternoon. Cheers y’all!!
The obligatory LCBO receipt …
Loved the champagne style corked tops on the 750 ml bottles …
Don’t own a Chimay chalice (working on it, lol), my Leffe beer glass substitutes …
And a halfsack of Anchor’s Liberty Ale (old habits die hard, lol) …

No Audrey I haven’t, but I have had Blanche De Chambly (white wheat beer – same brewer) and later on today am going to my favourite pub/restaurant for dinner (with quite an extensive beer list – hope they have it *fingers crossed*) and will ask for it because of your positive recommendation!! Thank you Audrey, cheers!!

oh yes, i’m familiar with de chambly. goodness, if you get la fin du monde on draught, you’ll have to let me know. i’ve only ever had in the champagne style bottles. i find it particularly delectable paired with a gruyere cheese. have fun and enjoy whatever you try! 🙂 cheers to you
