  1. Jupiler’s prominence in bars, at barbecues, etc. and its position as the go-to standard pils is ridiculous considering how shit it is.

  2. It’s actually the glasses you supposed to drink a type of beer are overated , beer is good

  3. I’ll be downvoted for this : I think Orval is completely overrated. It’s a good beer but people make it sound like it’s the beverage of the gods.

  4. I’m not a connoisseur, but I tasted the 0,0% Flandrien … Terrible.

  5. Delirium Tremens – great name, I give you that … but do people actually drink that stuff *voluntarily*?!?

  6. Vroeger veel Tripel Karmeliet gedronken maar sinds de overname van Bosteels door Inbev niet meer. Kutbedrijf.

  7. Leffe.

    (and what’s even more painful is that it’s marketed outside Belgium as a quality / ‘abbey-style’ beer. And that in for instance the Netherlands folks think they are enjoying a top Belgian beer. It’s arguably the worst beer on sale here.)

  8. Belgians mostly agree Leffe is utter shit, but internationally it still sells way too much.

  9. Jupiler by a country mile. If it was priced like kaiser I’d still struggle to choose.

  10. I don’t understand why people like to hate on Jupiler when Maes, Primus, Cristal and Palm exist…

  11. Alles van Leffe, enkel de bruine kun je nog gebruiken om stoofvlees te maken.

  12. Reading this thread it’s pretty clear that you can’t really argue about taste.

  13. Kwak

    It’s only as popular as it is because of its unique beer glass, as the beer itself is really not good.

  14. Rodenbach.

    Perfect voor saus.

    Voor pure consumptie.. not so much

  15. I can do one better, I don’t care for beer at all.

    Well unless an unholy amount of sugar has been added to it like kriek or cider but one could argue those are more like lemonade.

  16. My brother I am right there up with you! I do not like triple Karmeliet. Local beers = best beers

  17. Maes!! Ik ken ook niemand die Maes bewust koopt of in huis heeft

  18. Leffe ftw apparently. I even do not use it in my Flemish stew. Mostly use Rodenbach. Heaven..

  19. Jupiler & Leffe zijn de hoeksteen van het Belgisch gebrek aan smaak en dwepen met ondermaatse brol.

  20. Anything brewed by inbev or other big brewers that replace hops with corn or otherwise taste metallic.

    We are lucky that Westmalle, Chimay, Rochefort, tank 7, duvel Citra are low priced and widely available.
