Has anyone here ever had the love that is Piraat Ale?
Belgian Abbey by strength
IPA by flavor?

2. Nectar in a bottle!

10.5% - - made by trappists who brought a west coast IPA style hopping method to the abbey ale.

I do recommend getting the 22 oz corked bottle, however. And don't plan driving anytime soon after. Cheers!

3. I got a whole sampler pack from that company for Xmas one year
It was great. I remember one of their brands was called "Drakken" or something. Very good indeed.

6. You're in Quebec, right?
It's Belgian - so it might be easy to find.

Good luck and cheers!

10. OK, here's the rundown of my sampler pack
Edited on Sun Dec-02-07 07:34 PM by Canuckistanian
They are all fairly high alcohol content beers. Lovely design work on the bottle labels.

The company is VanSteenberge, from Belgium (B-9940, Ertvelde, Belgium)
www.vansteenberge.com

1. Gulden Draak (Golden Dragon), Ale, 10.5%
2. Bornem Dubbel (Double), Ale, 8%
3. Bornem Trippel (Triple), Ale, 9%
4. Piraat (Pirate), Ale, 10.5%
5. Kasteel Bruin, Brown Ale, 11%
6. Bruegel, Amber Ale, 5.2%

I keep and collect all my unusual European beer bottles.
