Ommegang Abbey Ale

I hit the level on my passport (now Brewniversity) club to get a $10 bonus. So what did I do? Spent way more than $10 on beer. That's what.(part 3 Part 2  Part 1)
 

When I ordered this the server said "ohhh..Abbey...have fun" and walked off. I was like WTF chick??? You can't just do that. Turns out she was an "IPA girl" and wasn't a fan of this particular beer.

The first Ommegang I had was (I think) Ommegeddon. My wife ordered it mixed with some kind of cider. It was a sour beer, so the mix was actually pretty good. 

The Abbey Ale was yum fun.

Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

I hit the level on my passport (now Brewniversity) club to get a $10 bonus. So what did I do? Spent way more than $10 on beer. That's what.(part 2)

I've been eying the Unibroue beers for a while. Thought it was right to pull the trigger on this one when I had some beer credit (If you're keeping track, I'm up to $14 in beer on a $10 credit). I'm a rookie to Belgian style beers but I know what's good and this is good. Has an amazing citrus/spice flavor to it that makes the 9% alcohol dangerous. 


By this time my palate recovered from the jalapenos and salsa so I was able to enjoy this to its full extent. I was, however, drinking this delicious Canadian golden ale on a cool evening while watching the winter olympics...where the USA was competing with Canada head on in almost every sport. Maybe I'll be more appropriate and choose my setting and food pairing more carefully next time. Who care's though? It's awesome beer.
