QotD: World’s Best Beer

What is the best beer on planet Earth? 
Submitted by Remmy Van Hornie.

The one you prefer.  My posts on beer can give a better idea on my preferences.

If you want a quick summary on my suggestions for Belgian beer, they would be the following:

  • If you like dark ales, nothing I've tasted beats Chimay Brune.
  • If you're more into clearer brews, I'd say Brigand Blonde is quite good (but you'll probably find Leffe Blonde or Duvel more easily).
  • If you would like to taste fruity beers, Special St. Louis Kriek or Timmermans Kriek are quite nice.
  • On the other hand, if the taste of Brussels is what you have in mind, Timmermans Gueuze Lambic is what you seek.
  • And for white wheat beer, I still prefer Hoegaarden.

  1. I've noticed that quite a few foreigners list Hoegaarden as one of their favourite beers (both online and in real life).

    Is it just a Belgian thing then that Hoegaarden is considered to be a "woman's beer", much like fruit beers?

  2. I think it is a Belgian thing. I'd have a Hoegaarden instead of a Jupiler or Maes every time.

    It has a very clean, refreshing taste that goes very well with hot summer weather.

  3. I am a woman and quite like Hoegaarden so you might be on to something there, however I'd say Duvel is far nicer with Leffe bringing up the rear. Are these all 'girly' beers?

  4. No, Duvel and Leffe definitely aren't girly beers. I think only Hoegaarden (along with the other white beers such as Wittekerke, Steendonk, etc.) and the much maligned fruit beers (cherry, raspberry, peach, etc.) get that dubious honour.

  6. You're welcome! ;o)

    I had a Framboise Boon yesterday and it was awful. Kriek Boon, on the other hand.. Let's just say that my first traditional kriek (not sweetened like Lindemans and Timmermans) was a nice surprise.

    And now I'm off to the local beer festival, to see if I can discover something new!
