i like the deliriums alright but somehow i just cant seem to LOVE them the way it seems i ought.

got around to trying the lambic framboise last night and had the same reaction.

ie, they're nice enough but not something that will be way up on my "to buy" list.

The Delirium beers are nice, but they're not super favorites, and they tend to be much more expensive ounce for ounce. I think they're a bit overrated due to their high alcohol content, which some wrongheaded types equate with awesomeness.

Tremens is nice, but I think Duvel is a bit better, Noel is nice, but I prefer Corsendonk Christmas. The Nocturnem was a nice surprise, though. Drier than the others, and very good with duck. :D Still, I think I'd prefer to get 2 x 750ml of Trader Joe's (Unibroue) Vintage Ale for the price of 12 oz of Delirium Nocturnem. And there is always Mallheur 12 :D

And so it is I'm having a Leffe Radieuse in honour of this post. ;D

Sounds like you have a pretty sweet weekend lined up. Enjoy!

Mmmm! That sounds like a little bit of heaven right on earth! I haven't had the Radieuse in quite a while (Leffe's Blond is more widely available here), and I'm envious! I wonder if anybody will have it this week? :D And now I'm really looking forward to seeing what local brewers will be offering Belgian-style beer? I had some of AleSmith's Horny Devil (a lovely apricot-ey golden Belgian strong) last night, and it really hit the spot between the Nocturnum and Noel.

The Room of Lost Dreams is one of my favorites! Congratulations on making the Quiz.

I feel that I may need to check out your guest bed/bathroom decorations some time soon.

OK, Beer Week sounds like fun!
