Holy Grail of beer?!
Holy Grail of beer?
This is a dumb question - maybe?
I am a drinker of many things, just not beer. I understand that for most forms of alcohol, there is a 'creme de la creme' of that form that most people will rave about - such as Dom Perignon for Champagne, Johnny Walker Blue for Scotch, Patrone for Tequila, etc.
What is the BEST beer? The holy grail of all beers? If there one?

It's an Abbey Quadrupel Ale with high gravity (12 OG), medium alcohol (10.2%), and bottle fermented.
Sadly, it is only available for sale at the Monastery, or at a small cafe across the road.
If you are looking for a high alcohol beer, the Boston Brewery made a beer with 25% ABV, and there are several US Microbrews that make beer with abv's above 10
Lost Abbey Judgement Day (10.5%)
AleSmith Speedway Stout (12%)
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout (18%)
Bell's Expedition Stout (11.5%)
Other Trappist Quadruples available in the US
Rochefort Trappistes 10 (11.3% ABV)
St. Bernardus Abt 12 (10.5%) - not a true Trappist
