A while back, I asked if anyone knew where I could find the Westvleteren trappist beer. I also asked on the DC board, as I currently work around that area. I wound up taking my first shot online, from a place located in...

The Trappist in Oakland has several, plus lots of other lambics. Three blocks from 12th St BART. Last time I was in Luka’s Taproom they had Rodenbach sour Flemish ale on tap. Not the same thing but at the same far end of the...

attentive and friendly. One of the tables was getting food, which looked (and smelled) good, and I would have tried some of the cheeses had I not just had dinner. Comparing it to the Trappist - the space is less elegant, but it...

to be closer to me. My other favorite jam, (though not NYC based) is Trappist Preserves. It is made by monks in Massachusetts and is seriously chock full of fruit – it’s like the Ben & Jerrys of jam! Especially good is...

at The Trappist (8th/B’way, downtown Oakland). Bring: bike, helmet, $10-$15 for tacos+ice cream, camera if you want to document the deliciousness RSVP: Email me cyrus [at] californiatacotrucks [dot] com. Put “Fruitvale taco truck...

a site (see link) that specializes in these foods (and other products.) I’ve particularly liked the Briggittine monks' fudge and the brandy fruitcake made by the Trappist monks at the Abbey of Our Lady of Guadalupe in...

Chowhound technical attache Pierre Jelenc has spotted Chimay cheese (a raw milk cheese made by the same Belgian Trappists who make the beer) at a store called “Gracefully” on ave A. It’s expensive at over $10/lb,...

I’d go with a Trappist or Abbey style ale- something like Chimay or Ommegang- assertive enough with some fruity/spicy/vinous characteristics.

Monks Kettle The Trappist has the 90 on tap but not much in the way of food.

Right you lot.... You live in the possibly one of the best places for beer in the world, be thankful. then get your asses to one of the following: Toronado, haight st. The Trappist, Oakland. The Monks Kettle, in the SFMission

- XX Bittes: (bottle) bitter, good and hoppy, but maybe a bit one-note. Got better as we drank it. Nice and refreshing. Liked it better this go-round then when we had it at the Trappist in Oakland (also in a bottle). Cuvee des...

with Scott’s. Then you can walk next door and have a Belgian brew at The Trappist. That combo would be very Bay Area and unique. Also might check out Otaez Restaurant on International Blvd (East 14th). There’s another...

and happy. My only complaint was that it only included 6 wings instead of the customary 10. The beer selection was not so exciting, but it featured Duvel, a trappist ale along the lines of chimay. The vibe was very casual, people...

For what it’s worth, the Trappist Preserves (made in Spencer, MA) line of jams includes a port wine and champagne jellies. For some reason, there are always some at the Christmas Tree Shops. Most Stop & Shops in the...

One of the best belgian/trappist style ale brewery’s in the US is in Cooperstown. It’s called Ommegang or something like that – I don’t have a bottle in front of me. We ate at a small place right across...
