Yes – this is a review of another beer I knew I would like. Why? Well – a number of reasons. One thing I absolutely love about beer is the story and/or process behind it. Chimay comes from a Belgian Monastery, and has been brewed by the monks since 1863 (1+8+6+3 = 18. My lucky number and Chai in Hebrew = “Life and good luck”. Coincidence?) Anyways, Chimay was one of the first premium beers to my knowledge that started driving the prices of up – and made drinking beer, as sophisticated as drinking a fine wine. So – history lesson aside, this still truly is a great beer. Easy to drink – but don’t EVER drink this from the bottle. It should still be cherished and enjoyed properly. This ain’t no Budweiser (though – I do appreciate a quality Bud as well). Don’t rush through this beer. Drink it slowly, but while it’s still cold. Enjoy the sweet and malted scents and flavors. I have yet to meet a beer drinker that doesn’t like this beer. It’s pretty much a quality standard.
