Friend told me he saw Allagash dubbel & tripels (I love their brews) at the Whole Foods Chapel Hill. I’m going by there tonight to confirm, and to see what else is in stock.

especially liked the IPA, with good body and a ton of hops. Also notable was the stout (very slightly sweet), the barleywine (fairly tame by barleywine standards but very hoppy), and the dubbel (not stylistically quite correct...

Affligem Beer (Tripel, Dubbel and Blond) aren’t brewed in an abbey, but at a brewery entrusted with the “ancient” Affligem Abbey recipe. They are mighty tasty, and available at some delis (Jin Market on Hudson...

not like in stout. My favorites are St. Bernardus Prior 8, Achel Brown (or Extra), Abbaye Des Rocs, and LaTrappe Dubbel. Someone else suggested Chimay Grand Reserve (blue label). Although its not a dubbel, it won’t have...

some off flavor, or both. Believe me, I really wanted to like them. I also tried the Kosmic Kolsch and Yellow Moon Rice-in’, both light brews without much to like or dislike. Perhaps the most successful were the 2 Belgian...

) ales. Not all Abbey ales are Trappist, but all Trappist are Abbey, if you follow me. The most common Abbey ales you’ll see are designated as dubbel, tripel, and quadrupel. Dubbels and quadrupels are very dark and have a...

Unibroue made the Trader Joe’s 2008 Anniversary Beer (or something like that). Dark, strong, maybe close to a dubbel. 8.5% or thereabouts and 750ml in Brooklyn for 4.99. Can’t beat that!

of the Belgian Dubbel and Tripel. They were all excellent, IMHO.

I find Belgian tripels and dubbels to be nice. If you want to pair a whole meal here is a link courtesy of Beer Advocate. I wish that I had a bottle of the Russian River Damnation for Thanksgiving. I bet that it would go quite...

The closest thing to a “dive” I can think of on South Beach is the Abbey, a nice little neighborhood pub where they brew a variety of local beers and ales, including a DELICIOUS “duppel” or "dubbel" (I...

Check out their website below. They list their bottle and draft selection. The draft selection should be up to date. From the bottle selections these are my favs. St. Bernardus Prior 8 (8%) 8- A great belgian dubbel with alot of...

the white is what’s known as a "dubbel" in Belgium (sharper, spicer taste, less fruity) at an even stronger 8%, and the blue is really divine stuff indeed, but be careful with it; it’s a whopping 9%. You can also find...
