Chimay Ale

640_capsule.jpgJust opened up a bottle Chimay Ale (Red). In case you haven’t heard of it before, Chimay’s origins reside with the Trappist monks of Chimay Belgium. It’s made from historical methods and ingredients even though they use modern technology alongside. Some friends had gotten it when we were out this past week and it was the first time I had tried it. Fairly appalling was the price at the bar. $28 for a 750ML bottle, or roughly double or more the price of a regular beer.

I happened to see it at a wine store this weekend when HERS and I were walking around Annapolis, MD after going for a drive with the top down to enjoy the nice weather. I decided to purchase a bottle after seeing the much more reasonable price of $10.49. For an occasional drink of a special variety for about the price of a bottle of wine, this is good value in my opinion and I’m looking forward to trying more of the Chimay offerings.

    Here in Rochester there’s a store called “Beers of the World” and they have every type and style available from all the continents that make beer.

    Does DC have something similar? You might be able to find cheaper bottles for sale at a place like that.

    My favorite beer so far is Leffe Brown, not blond – but it’s hard to find. I’ve never tried Chimay.
