Friday Question of the Day – What’s Your Favorite Imported Beer?
We’ve spoken a lot about our favorite local beers and craft beers but today I want to talk about imported beers. I had a delicious Japanese White Beer ( Hitachino Nest) at Red Rocks and I’m hooked on it. Though it’s pretty damn expensive at Red Rocks I’ve seen it at time at D’Vines in 750ml bottles for around 10 bucks. Anyway it’s delicious – if you like white beer and see it offered, you should give it a taste. What’s your favorite imported beer?

St. Bernardus 12
+1 St. Bernardus is my favorite quad.
I would also add a good Gueuze to the list.
Agree. It’s as close to Westvleteren 12 a you will find without going there yourself as the St. Bernardus brewery used to brew for the Westvleteren monastery.
Delicious, delicious beer. A close second is just about any other Belgium beers – I’m a big fan of Saison’s in the Spring and Summer.
Agreed. I’ve gone to the Cafe “In de vrede” at the Westvleteren monastery and think the St. Bernardus 12 holds its own against the Westy 12. That said, can’t go wrong with either.
Strafe Hendrik. Either the triple or the quadruple.
Guinness!
Aventinus.

Delirium Tremens

I’m usually too cheap to buy it but it’s so tasty….
mmm. my fav too!
I’ve always hated sour beers until I tried Duchess de Bourgogne.
I just tried that last week and hot damn is that stuff great. I do love all the sour beers I’ve had though.
I’m a big sour beer fan and the Duchess de Bourgogne is one of the very best (and seems to have very wide appeal).
Don de dieu
La Chouffe. period.
Another good choice!
Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel
That’s the best import on my list. They perfected that hybrid of IPA and Belgian. Just be wary of the 750ml green glass bottle. The skunk factor will ruin the experience.
Labatt
Seriously though, Belhaven Scotch Ale
Not Molsons?
Singha!
I don’t really have a favorite, but my standard import (when I’m not sure what I want) is Pilsner Urquell. I also love British beer and Guinness.
Budweiser
German Hefeweizen. Very different than US Hefeweizen. More rich, malty and tasty. It’s my latest beer crush.
Smithwick’s, because it tastes good and I used to live next to the factory in Ireland.
Westmalle tripel, followed closely by Tripel Karmeliet.
Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale
Have you found that in DC?
I’ve seen it at Whole Foods on P St. in the past and I believe they serve it at Kushi.
I’ve had it at the bar at The Source
I had it at TAAN Ramen.
D’vines gets the Red Rice in on occasion…
As far as favorite imports, one that’s been mentioned, La Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel, ranks way up there but I’ve got to say Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge is my favorite imported beer, a delicious Flanders Red sour.
their White Ale is amazing too. great choice. you can get that at Izakaya Seki.
For St. Patrick’s day I’d hoist a Black and Tan. Its the nickname for the British army who came over to Ireland in 1916 to quell the Easter rebellion wearing half summer half winter uniforms. It’s also half Guiness and half Harp (or other) ale.
Molson Golden.
Rave – Its Friday
Rave – I get to hang out with my mother, brother, and cousin today
Rave – Learning that if you ask you shall receive
Rant – I cannot find anything to rant about!
London Pride by Fullers.
Baltika #7 – it might not be amazing, but it’s from my home country
Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse. First time I had this was in Munich.
Fantome Saison. I used to think Saison Dupont was the bomb until I tried this.
A close second goes to Rochefort 10.
My favorite beer that I wish someone would import: Hachenburger Pils. You never forget your first…
That said, my favorite beer that is actually imported is Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier.
Grimbergen Dubbel!
Orval
Stella!!!!
I still love me some Chimay. The blue one.
The End of History by BrewDog. Hard to beat a $765, 110 proof beer that is served inside of a taxidermied stoat.
Rodenbach Grand Cru
