Chimay White Cap (aka White Power)

For those of you who have read or are familiar with my other inane, yet defunkt  blog 'Strong beer , strong legs' you will know that I don't really think there is any beer out there that rivals much from those that boast the AUTHENTIC TRAPPIST PRODUCT family logo.  This night I have been inhaling Chimay White Cap.  I'm rarely prone to hyperbole but I have to say Chimay may be my favorite.  I love the Chimay Grande Reserve blue label, and I have more experience on my corked amigo Chimay Premiere Red than any other Trappist beer, but I gots to illustrate here and on this night that it is Chimay White Power that gives me the finest arousal.

It was a night not unlike tonight.  Not  a celebratory nor sensational night.  Just a night where a simple man, with simple ideas and a simple vision took to the stage.  He would drink more than his share of a special beer.  This was his call to arms, to take up the fight against the less than magnificent  beers from the huge multi-national breweries like Anheuser-Busch, Labatt, and Molson.
He wouldn't kill people.  Not his enemies.....oh no.....they wouldn't be given clemency quite so easily. They would be made to suffer.  One by one they would pay.  Oh, don't think they won't pay.

My night of cracking caps off this, one of the finest strong beers ever, underline my commitment to drinking only fine beers and not shit beer.  A designation that should be worn with pride and not the shame that surely comes with shopping for beers at a  purveyor properly called  THE BEER STORE.

On the second night in as many weeks I was able to buy, all of or at least, the last of the Chimays at a large Liquor establishment in a huge Toronto store.  The first time I was ever to experience this awesome glory was with Westmalle Trappist where the store I stumbled upon had about 20 bottles in stock.  I took them all and had a shitload (my favorite unit of measure) of fun nights that week.

Chimay White Cap is a Trappist beer for the people.  A beer that needs no introduction.  No warning.  No "wait till you get used to it", it's simply a beer that has it all.  A pungent beery aroma, a fine longstanding head, and a taste you would step over Kate Beckinsale for.  I recommmend eating anything with cheese or meat with Chimay White Cap.  Tacos? Bingo.  Nachos? Why the fuck not?
Some type of lunchtime concoction of meat and cheese , with lettuce and tomatoe tucked tightly between 2 slices of bread, or better yet a crusty bun, sliced in half?  Goddamnit, you eat the shit out of that sammich. 

Then you look at that Chimay and you say 'That's how we're gonna beat 'em Scotty, those Monks make a good beer'.

Ace out.
