Last my wife and I had a beer tasting party as a fund raiser for her church group (Catholics, of course). It was a fantastic success and we're doing it again this year. We selected 5 countries and had 3 samples from each (a mix of homebrew and commercial). This year I've added Belgium to the mix, but I'm afraid I've only just begun learning about Belgian beers. I'd like your suggestions for 3 Belgian beers meeting this criteria:
- Somewhat affordable. It's a fundraiser so I try to keep it under $12 a six-pack.
- Readily available. Doesn't have to come from a grocery store, but folks that are interested should be able to find it at a local merchant.
- Shouldn't be extremely bold in taste or alcohol %. I was pleasantly surprised at how open minded people were last year, but I don't want a Bud Light drinker going into shock, either. For example, last year I served Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA and had very few repeat takers. That left more for me, but it did tell me my audience wasn't quite ready to be hopheads.
