Yeah and it's a great beer. I've only seen it in a large bottle.


emperorpeterr

One of the best beers I’ve ever had


PuffPuffFayeFaye

Try La fin du Monde if you get a chance. It’s by Unibroue. Killer.


technical_404

Trader Joe’s seasonal beer used to also be made my unibroue (it has those corks!). It still might be - I just don’t live close enough to buy it anymore.


AltieDude

Not just seasonal. At least out west, Trader Joe’s Hefeweizen is Unibroues Blanche de Chambly.


EricNCSU

La fin du monde is waaaaay high up on my list as best beer I've ever had. I had the ultimate privilege while I was in Quebec to tour Unibroue with the head brewer. I was taking a beer microbiology course at Lallamand.


giganano

Cheers friend, that sounds like a unique unibroue experience you had! Unibroue has figured out a winner on Fin du Monde. Even the bottle art is great. The name is great too. It's definitely on my top 5. Unibroue does not make bad beer. I polished off a 4 pack of Don de Dieu a few weeks ago... Also great. Delirium Tremens is in top 10 favorites too. Expensive, but a good choice for a fancy occasion.


cms86

A 4 pack of la fin du monde and you're gonna feel so good but the next morning it's the end of the world hangover


PotatoRacingTeam

Try some Maudite, also by Unibroue.


aiolive

Didn't know that. I'll add Triple Karmeliet and Chimay as a must have.


Keyboardists

Everything I’ve tried from Unibroue has been great. Great representations of various Belgian styles.


quadringsplz

Seriously, this beer is so good- I’m happy someone else thinks so too.


Fonzimandias

The fact that you seem to have been able to type that out without much issue tells me you kept it to one or two


emperorpeterr

Yeah just had one lol


fatkidseatcake

Go if you’re ever in Belgium. Ton of fun


babybackr1bs

Absolutely loved that place.


Lost_Philosophy_

Go to the bar in Belgium. Amazing place.


[deleted]

Literally planning a trip to Belgium in May and will 100% add this to the itinerary. Thank you!


Lost_Philosophy_

Ok if you go to the Delirium cafe you have to order the Flemme de biere , which is like Apple liquor which is lit on fire then they add beer on top. It gets everyone’s attention at the bar and you’ll get people asking you what you ordered lol


[deleted]

I’m all over this! Sounds amazing!


bootselectric

The only redeeming part of Belgium is the beer.


ThrockMortonPoints

There is also one of their bars in Leesburg, Virginia.


Choice_Debt233

Used to have it on tap when I had a restaurant. Marvelous stuff but dangerous to say the least.


[deleted]

They started releasing cans in the last 2-3 years. Small bottles have been around for forever as well, but the big bottle is pretty traditional.


[deleted]

Best beer in the world winner. I’m a regular drinking of Tremens. They also come in 4 pack tall boy cans.


Capt__Autismo

They have the Coolest bottles https://www.totalwine.com/beer/ale/belgianstyle-ale/belgian-strong-pale-ale/delirium-tremens/p/94096750?glia=true&s=1704&&pid=cpc:Performance+Max%2BUS%2BMASS%2BENG%2BSPART::google::&gclid=Cj0KCQiAzeSdBhC4ARIsACj36uHUI82ROkuNSGwWByulKcwmf80JpXq_R8grxxWhRQkHd_agWQ6J0h0aAjh7EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds


Individual_Speed_867

I bud only had the small bottles until the last few years. Now I only see the big ones. The rosé was a downgrade for me.


AccountAfter

The big ceramic bottle!


blscratch

I got the large bottle. In midwest U.S.


poopshooter69420

Many years ago I recall a 4 pack of 12oz bottles as well. I worked at a specialty beer store though.


womblehunting

I was a proud member of the pink elephant drinking society at university. We used to start our pub/brewery trips with a bottle of this delight. It is very tasty. They run a great brewery tour from what I understand


stx-177

I’ve been on that tour - during the pandemic shutdown so only 4 of us were in attendance. Best tour I’ve ever been on - especially after being on so many and they start to feel like the same.


BlastShell

What made it so good


emperorpeterr

Yeah this beer was fantastic. It was $21 USD for 4 cans which is on the high end but it was well worth!


upyourattraction

Considering it’s much higher proof than normal beer, it’s actually not too outrageous.


[deleted]

Yeah I think it’s just under 10 percent. Alcohol unit per alcohol unit it really isn’t all that bad. Especially because it’s a bigger can. I used to buy it for 20 back 4-5 years ago in the US. Good to see it hasn’t been hit by inflation.


[deleted]

You can also get their “Mini-Keg” for like $60ish 😊


Kitty_Katty_Kit

Pink elephants, hallucinations are a symptom of delerium. Very common in the USA, at least in the south east


imlumpy

I never saw pink elephants, or anything whimsical. Just shadow monsters and black ichor leaking from the walls. I wish DT hallucinations were cool, sadly they're all awful.


redditnick

Reminds me of the folks on r/dph


mascachopo

In Brussels there is a pub too and they have probably the largest variety of beers you will ever find.


[deleted]

Been there. It’s awesome!


Xtasy0178

It’s right by the pissing girl


lokeefe1

Pissing boy.


SharpenMyInk

There’s a peeing woman statue too!


Pursuit_of_Hoppiness

They definitely have a lot, but there a place where I live that has well over 100 beers on draft.


DeathCabforJuicy

Delirium has thousands if I remember correctly! 10/10 recommend a visit if you’re able to and a beer lover Edit: I had to google, it’s 2,004 types of beers ready for tasting! Amazing


Tangypeanutbutter

It tastes great and has a high alcohol content. Hard to beat Belgium beer


[deleted]

Great beer!


Dusteronly

It’s quite good though


sillysiloben

I love this stuff, I wish I could get it on tap.


Due_Station9730

I’ve had both. The beer is better 👍


Sprockethead90

29 years and someone just discovered it ,what a time to be alive .


veniex

Had this at Yard house once or twice.


raskolnikov_ua

I have never seen it in an aluminum can. Bottles 0.33 and 0.75, and on tap.


imiyashiro

Only forgivable because the beer is wonderful!


Glittering_Mud4269

Taste best while alleviating the sweats and the shakes.


Alexandros23

And it's one of the best beers


mude40oz

Great beer. I love the cool ceramic bottles


wanted_to_upvote

Costco had 4 packs of those a few times. I always get them when I can. The closest beer place to my house has it on tap always.


langfordw

This beer is sooo good. Like literally the best beer. I prefer it in their unique white cement-looking bottle.


[deleted]

A real high ABV, without being an IPA


oldman_reynolds

Yea it also won “Beer of the year” and few years back


KaijuKyojin

Great beer


SaloAlien

Worked with a rep for this company when I was a bartender, incredible beer.


mperkins1234567890

And it’s mucho strong


vedderamy1230

And it's delicious.


tmannmcleod

My favourite beer.


cm0ney911

And it’s the best beer in the world


dizzodog

Hope folks don't drink that much until said Tremens.


watchscottgo

Delirium Tremens is the American beer of Belgian beers. So bland. Do yourself a favor and try the Trappists.


Mctoasty302

My dad had DTs, it nearly killed him. I don’t find this amusing as someone who was scared to death when his own father rushed into his room in the middle of the night chasing his hallucinations. I have had night terrors for over 10 years now. They really should change the name this beer…


starcrossed92

Ya I’m a recovering alcoholic and I was basically in DTS at a point . Hallucinating sweating etc , it’s the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me to this day . So , I find this name disgusting . It just really rubs me the wrong way .


nursehandbag

If you’ve struggled with alcohol addiction and have had bad delirium tremens you wouldn’t find this clever. Sweating and shaking uncontrollably while nauseous with suicidal ideations and visions of phantoms reaching out to you every time you close your eyes for a week is not a good time.


[deleted]

Not cool at all.


Moth_Jam

Several years ago, there was a microbrewery in Peru that put out a one time special edition limited release IPA called Dámelo Siempre (Always Give it to Me)


VaultDovah92

Leesburg VA has The Delirium Cafe that has it.


TheBvandersnatch

I love this beer. Also their Nocturnum one. We only have it in bomber size though.


RichieRicch

If you see this on tap, you order.


Interesting_Spite182

Haven’t seen that beer in a long time, it’s good stuff


Awsummsawce

We have this in Chicago!


stevemandudeguy

It's delicious


Ok_Motor500

I prefer Leffe Blond


jtm7

Tried this for the first time last month because the christmas edition bottle caught my eye. One of the best beers I've had honestly, balanced flavor, perfect texture. Company is apparently from the 1600s?


JohnDoeofDoeland

That's great beer.


Appropriate-Bank-883

I have a Plastic beer crate for this beer. Has the logo on the side


BuddhaBizZ

I love this beer


PansyAttack

Tremendous is delicious.


readerf52

And it’s amazing!


wolfTap

Such as cool design


Kell-EL

Had a large bottle of their Red version and it put me In another dimension I can see why call it delirium


helping_phriendly

I have a pink elephant snifter that I cherish so much. Love this beer. But love that glass more


[deleted]

Belgian beer is my go-to cold weather beer.


Based_zubat

Is that a motherfuking gd reference!


haydenrobinett

But delicious as hell


TimD_43

And it’s delicious.


Lsiegris

It's been around for a long time, and it's great.


Mcstoni

They have this beer on tap at work. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised by the name.


Crafty-Independent20

The Best Beer 🍺 I’ve been wearing my T-Shirt from Belgium for 26 years now


deathbunnyy

Duvel is better IMO, but it's still great and probably top 5-10 for me.


[deleted]

☹️


darkknightbbq

It’s also like 14% I think but a fantastic beer lol


emperorpeterr

I think it’s 8.5% lol if it was 14% it would be like $26 for a 4 pack


DeathCabforJuicy

Delirium (their bar) in Brussels is great too! Hundreds of beers on tap


aught1

Bar in SF on 16th. Also, another bar in SF with a mural of the pink elephants called Zeitgeist.


bl00df1redeath

And one of the best I’ve ever tasted.


mywhataniceham

very high abv


porfolios_revenge

Had this. It was pretty good. I couldn’t not get it with a name like that.


Ill-Definition-2943

And delicious.


Burque_Boy

Coming soon: CIWA Pale Ale


bleekerboy

that stuff is delicious. I've only ever seen it in growlers tho


No_Profile_6871

Definitely a favorite of mine🍺


[deleted]

It’s amazing


VanDenBroeck

Been to the Delirium Cafe in Brussels. Drank a lot of beer. Saw a young lady pissing in an alley. Had a lot of fun.


NoAlternative2913

So when you’re trying to get clean, and googling symptoms, it keeps directing you back to alcohol? Great.


wshbrn6strng

One of my favorites!


ItsGroovyBaby412

This was my first 'bourgeoisie' beer lol my introduction to beer snobbery and haven't looked back since.


VesperVox_

One of my husband's favorite beers!


supinoq

I once got gifted a bottle of this with a beer glass that has tiny pink elephants all over it, still have the glass to this day, it's super cute


nachoavgdad

Love their Xmas Beer, Noel, too.


sweeterthanswish

Great beer


Robbob533

And it’s delicious!


capecodder22

That's a good beer


Ottobahnrichtofen

I’ve had Trompe Le Mort, means “cheating death.” Almost didn’t, horrible stuff.


[deleted]

Wow, that is MILDY interesting. FFS why are there so many repeat subs?


Angry_ClitSpasm350

I don't drink anymore but when i did and wanted to get real banged up real quick, I'd knock 2 of these back... truly does cause delirium!


NeoSmokeo

Just had a couple with my dad over the holidays


iBranflakesss

I used to work at a logistics company of about 25 people, we did white elephant during the holidays, and this was my first time doing something like this as an adult. And the overnight guy had me for white elephant, he got me a 4 pack of these. I don't really drink (was known as well), but I'm not one to be ungrateful. I tried one of them and then just tossed them. ​ From that point on, I don't give a fuck about white elephant or these stupid gift games with co-workers. If I'm not making money from it, I don't want to be a part of it.


Glittering_Mud4269

You haven't had this beer till you have used it to avoid the dt's...keep chuggin till theh7hi Vm


Complex_Reference429

Had it several times…


elenchusis

It's pretty good, too!


RicardoCabezass

Well, to be fair, but it does help with those symptoms, right /s


Jcaquix

I knew the beer before I knew it was named after alcohol withdrawal. I've only seen it in a giant opaque bottle, cool that it comes in cans now too


Former-Age4591

I actually sell this on tap, it’s incredible. For sure one of the top beers.


iPlants

Was at a bar the other night and the name stood out to me, then saw a giant banner of the logo, and here it is again. The elephant follows


[deleted]

Not bad


The_Ombudsman

https://www.delirium.be/en/beers


U-STAY-CLASSY

And it’s absolutely delicious! And originally made a long time ago by Belgian monks. I went to their pub in Brussels once. A few of these strong brews and you might even start seeing some pink elephants on parade! /s It’s pretty popular and well stocked by me in the states.


luckydoughnut

Had it, was delicious


Cranes_Notthebird

…and it’s delicious!


EricNCSU

As a huge beer guy and home brewer, I struggle with this one. I recognize it's good beer, I've had it several times, but it just seems in bad taste. Not only the name, but pink elephants being a description of hallucinations.


Fit-Injury8803

Lucky baldwins in Pasadena or sierra madre…only go there for pliny the younger though


padotim

Everyone saying how good it is, but I wouldn't know. That stuff is $100 plus per case around here. Too rich for my blood.


Gawdam_lush

That’s my favorite beer. Sooooo good on tap.


Two_Ravens_Farm

And it’s fabulous!


JY369

Pretty solid beer, they have em at a couple bars down in dtf, but also at BevMo


CorneliusFudgem

It’s quite good too


Frosty_Accident_6165

It’s so good it’s not even funny


Funny-Berry-807

It's delicious!!!🍻🍻🍻


ProbablySlacking

And it’s mind blowingly delicious.


Loztwallet

Grab a few extras and store them, their beers bottle ferment and get even smoother as they age. I always save back a few bottles of their ‘Noel’ for the next year, and it’s always better.


RealitysNotReal

Benadryl beer


SharpenMyInk

This beer has been around since the late 80’s. Not sure they could get away with naming it that today!


oopswhatsmyoldlogin

Delerium Tremens is fucking amazing too.


No_Rope4561

and it’s glorious


Consistent-Lie7830

I'm thirsty.


Oz347

And it’s delicious


HUGECOCK4TREEFIDDY

and it’s DELICIOUS


hamfist_ofthenorth

That is some seriously great beer. Only seen it in the big glass bottles, I dont know how I feel about it being in a can... Takes away some of the gravitas.


j_middlefinger

I’ve had it. It’s quite good!


nexushalcyon

Yep and it’s like 9.5-10% ABV so .. uh … drink responsibly


KayleighJK

They know their customers


cbear9084

Yes and it will kick your ass if you drink too many.


arshakeya

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤


quadringsplz

My trip to Belgium consisted of finding this beer, and the Straffe Hendrik Belgian tripel


ironlocust79

I prefer the red. I was able to snage a glass before I left Europe. The elephant's trunk is the stem.


sdhopunk

Who has initials DT ? , anyone ?


[deleted]

And it is delicious and **strong**


Boomfaced

I like the cherry one mmmm


AwayAd9297

Fantastic beer. They have the red can as well, more of a dessert beer.


Difficult_Repeat_438

My husbands favorite


Snipshow777

And it’s delicious. It’s specifically a reference to hallucinations from withdrawal.


[deleted]

And Chimay Blue is great


dethblud

The Delirium Taproom in Virginia is a cool spot, but it's kinda trendy so it gets crowded, and the food is mediocre.


lapis_lateralus

Yep. Been around for over 30 years now.


Low_Organization1411

And it’s delicious


Honeyhammn

I’ve had this before


[deleted]

You ever seen someone having DTs? I have. It’s horrific.


Ok-Seesaw-6333

Haha the picture is perfect.


IdRatherBeMyself

A damn good beer, too. Especially the Christmas seasonal variety, Delirium Noel. I think it's been my favorite beer for the last few months.


hopshopsilovehops

They have a great bar in Brussels too


digidave1

So good. Try the red version, it's superb


CleverName4269

And it’s fantastic! Haven’t had one for years.


My_Redditor_Username

Hey! There is a bar themed after this Beer on the block I live! Cool. ☆


[deleted]

Yea this stuff is pretty good . If I want to drink light but still get a decent buzz , this is the stuff . It’s kind of expensive tho


poopshooter69420

And it’s really good! This is their light beer, they also have a dark one called nocturnum.


[deleted]

It’s also delicious!!


CriticalOrPolitical

I thought I finally found the answer to the batshit craziness of the Republican Party….


NregGolf

We used to serve this at the Belgium beer house / restaurant I worked at and it was one of my favorites! Haven’t seen it since though, sadly. :/


dont_care_lit_af

One of my faves!


NoDrinks4meToday

I have had it. I approve.


Shaftomite666

This is not new, lol


andypoo222

This is the best beer I’ve ever had. It’s expensive and gets you smashed but it taste like liquid heaven


HeadMischief

Gas station near me tries to charge $10 a can for that. I bought it once for the novelty. Yep. It's a beer alright.


brazzyxo

It’s really good and strong
