Its Beer o’clock

Chimay…. need I say more?
Chimay is one of the finer Beers in the world. Even more important the blue label variety is 9% alcohol by volume. If you ever have a chance to drink one of these fine trappist productions please do so. Although the price can be steep when compared to other beers, you will not be disappointed. A 12 oz. bottle of Chimay Blue usually costs about $4 in a beer/wine/liquor stroe, and $6-8 in a bar. While the 750 mL bottle will hit your pocket for about $10-12 in a beer/wine/liquor store. There is a such thing as a 1.5 Litre bottle of this good stuff but I have yet to find it here in the states.
Oh yeah and if you have patience this beer ages as if it were a wine, if you can stand to wait 5 or 7 years while this beer sits in a dark cool place they say this beer tastes even better!!! (But I would not know anything about that.)
