This week we cover the Belgian Tripel. Belgium has a long and interesting history of brewing beer and this beer does not disappoint. Traditionally brewed by Monks in the monastery's of Belgium, these beers provide a high alcohol but complex and smooth tasting beer. We explore how Belgium Monks started brewing and how the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars disrupted these proud breweries. The beers we taste this week are: •Westmalle Tripel •Chimay Tripel •Fick Brewing Series Bruxelles Tripel
