A spectacular Belgian blonde ale. Creamy deliciousness in a textured bottle with a terrific label featuring truckin’ alligators, purple dragons and cute pink elephants. 8.7%. Killer.

I remember the first time I tried Delirium, it was a revelation. Back then it was tough to find, but nowadays it's common enough to find in most supermarkets / bodegas in major US cities (at least, New York and the Bay Area). Try to find La Fin du Monde next

So do I, but it's extremely difficult to find on tap so I still appreciate Delirium quite a bit!

Same here, yet I found DT's 'creaminess' very refreshing, especially after a long hot walk with the missus. Both are easy to find here, fortunately. I hadn't tried Delirium previously. In fact, I went in searching for La Fin du Monde which, sadly, was sold out (restocked today, I was told, before kindly being directed to try Delirium). Not surprisingly, since Unibroue is based in Quebec, all of their excellent beers are (usually) in plentiful supply here in Vancouver - and across Canada.

Being very good today / dry start to the week.... Just Indian breakfast Tea at the Tate.... but still able to drink in the view..And a quick nod to the English galleon Golden Hind as I trotted back for the tube. Still a fair bit of privateering and circumnavigation goes on in the city even these days... seemed very apt as I heard president Trump and his choppers fly overhead :0)

Some variant of the Mojito couple nights ago. Vegas was and hot and I needed something sweet and refreshing.

First time I had an Oberon was on Mackinaw Island during the annual lilac festival there. My wife used to travel to Michigan often for work, so would bring back cases of this all summer. 👍

Another lovely Belgian, er, French beer. Love this one. Crisp, refreshing and I’m blasted.
