, and not really in courses. Brown ale or porter may be great with the turkey, but fall down when confronted with cranberry sauce. This is why lambic or gueuze would be my go-to style for Thanksgiving dinner – the tart...

with fatty cheese, sure, though I’d be more inclined to try a Cantillon or Oud Beersel gueuze.

Gueuze. If you are ever in Philly you have to try their Monk’s Cafe Cuvee Gueuze on tap—I found it fresher and more delicious than the bottled Organic. I admit I have fallen hard for Cantillon so I like the sour bite....

Belgian gueuze like Cantillon or Cuvee Rene.

'Académie de la Bière (5th), Au Trappiste (1st), La Gueuze (5th), etc. One I like that is mostly a student’s bar is La Belette qui Tête in the 13th, not too far from place d’Italie. They have a good selection, and...

've not tried it. (Rumor also has it that the current Fantome release has strawberries in it, though it’s a saison and not a lambic) I actually forgot a pretty major producer in my list, and that is Cantillon. Cantillon...

Awesome. I have a nice bottle of gueuze at home. That’s going with me next time for sure.

for 33mL bottles, and the 75mL ones should cost around 3EUR to 5EUR. Beers that are aged in barrels (lambic, gueuze...) can be a lot more expensive, up to 12EUR for a 75mL bottle, but they have to be tried, especially the ones...

Spuyten Duyvil is an absolute must for what you are looking for. Huge selection of Belgians, lambics, gueuzes, as well as great beers from the rest of the world. Food is limited to a selection of delicious cured meats, cheeses,...

On the subject of Belgium beers...just came back from Belgium and really enjoyed the Cantillon Gueuze at the brewery. Anyone know of a place in LA where one can buy bottles of this specific beer? I didn’t see it in the...

Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru is a nice one. If a person wanted to spend some serious cash on a bottle of beer, Cantillon Lou Pepe Gueuze, at around $30, would be a nice gift.

Hitachino makes some truly amazing beers. I just recently tried their Sweet Stout and was pretty impressed. I like the Red Rice as well, though my favorite is their Japanese Classic Ale. It’s an IPA aged in cedar casks....

for grilled meat. Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown, Taddy Porter, Fuller’s London Porter – I always have those. I also keep a few bottles of gueuze in the pantry as well – that’s great for hot weather. A...

the cost, at least when sharing it with my wife or close friends rather than buying for 10-20 guests. A Cantillon Gueuze 25 oz for $10-15. Friends & I recently split & mixed 6 cases that rang up to $530. (e.g. Rochefort 8 was...

If you can find a nice, funky Belgian geuze or something similar (like Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze, Cantillon Organic Geuze Bio, or Petrus Aged Pale), it works magically with the delicate goaty splendor of Humboldt Fog— an...
