With so many beer options, we decided to start with a sampler called
Tour de Force. It included the
Golden Carolus Tripel,
Malheur 10,
Troubadour Magma, and
St. Bernardus Abt 12. These were pretty high abv content - ranging from 8-14%. I liked the more citrusy beers. The tasting pours were basically a full glass, so this was more than enough beer for our lunch.
Speaking of lunch, we also ordered some of the traditional fare. I chose a vegetarian option of
Quiche with Leeks and Spinach. It was beautiful and tasty, served with a small side salad. I would have preferred the quiche to but a bit warmer though.
Keith ordered a beef stew called
Van Den Endvogel made with some of the
St. Bernardus beer and served with fries and homemade apple sauce stewed in the
Golden Carolus Tripel. The stew was filling and overall paired expertly with the beer.
