Discovering Belgian Beers with Bold Monk and Three Taverns Brewery

Send us Fan MailThere's a lot to love about Belgian beers.Once upon a time, many craft drinkers in America turned to Belgian beers for their quality and complexity.  Either for a break from the limited American beers or due to lack of availability in their area.  Golden ales, dubbels and tripels and quads, lambic and geuze, there was a bounty of flavor coming from Belgian breweries.On the heels of his Belgians in the Garden beer festival John Roberts of Bold Monk joins us this week along with fellow brewer Brian Purcell of Three Taverns.  We five into the styles, traditions, trends, terroir, glassware, and ingredients of Belgian beer.A few of the topics covered:Belgians in the Beer Garden RecapBelgians vs. Belgian-styleSt. Bernardus 12 vs. Westy 12Singels, Dubbels, Tripels, & QuadsThe Short History of the QuadrupelLong Lost Belgian Styles Still LostWhat Makes a Pilsner Belgian?Three Taverns Steps Out - A Night On PonceSaisons: The Beer of the People All Beers Were Once RauchbiersGrowing Interest in Tripels & QuadsTekus and Belgian Beer GlasswarePatersbier / Belgian Singels Lambics, Geuzes, and Spontaneous AlesFlanders Red Ales and Oude BruinsBelgian Beers of the WeekOrvalThree Taverns & Brick Store - Total B.S.
