This thread got me excited because I love beer and I love trying new beers.

I took a trip to Willow Park on Friday and picked up 3 of the top 10 beers.

Rochefort Trappistes 10 (going off memory, think it was about $6.50/bottle)
St. Bernardus Abt 12 (~18.50 for a 4-pack)
Chimay Grand Reserve (Blue) (~$6/bottle)

I've only tried the Rochefort and the St. Bernardus so far, but these are literally the best beers I've ever tasted. The Rochefort is 11.3% alc/vol and the St. Bernardus is 10% alc/vol, but they just taste so smooth and amazing. I highly recommend these beers for anybody looking to try something new or are looking for a special treat. They taste so damn good. Going to try the Chimay on Tuesday while watching the Flames game.

Edit: I talked to one of the employees there for a few minutes, and he was telling me all about how he gets to go on multiple trips to Europe every year to sample beers and to find new beers to import. Talk about an awesome job.
