Roger was recently asked about his "Aha Moment" in beer; that one drink that makes you realize what beer (or wine, or spirits) is capable of. For him, it was tripels. The beer scene is dominated by bold flavors, and tripels are not lacking in that department. Bold, complex and very easy to pair with food. Take a trip from the Trappist breweries of Belgium to a walled city in Canada, to America's best takes on the style.  

Drink along at home with following beers:

• Westmalle Trappist Tripel
• Tripel Karmeliet
• Unibroue La Fin Du Monde
• Victory Golden Monkey
• Allagash Tripel
• Allagash Curieux
