If you ever get into a conversation that involves Belgian beer,9 outta 10 times the word "chimay" is going to be mentioned. It doesn't necessarily mean it is the best beligian abbey in the world,they just happen to have better distribution than any other (with the exception of Stella....errr),so you'll fins there abbey ales in many places that have a decent beer selection. Just remember,budweiser isn't the best beer America has to offer.
I have put off trying Chimay until now because of all the hype. Now I realize the hype is just that...hype. Don't get me wrong,it's a good beer. It's just not the cream of the crop in the Abbey Ale world. Ommegang is brewed in NY,and I think it's a much better beer. I could possibly be trying the wrong Chimay. Only time will tell. But for now, I give you the Public Enemy Award for "Don't Believe The Hype".
