Don’t try it unless you want to get absolutely spoiled on $13 per bottle beer.

Its a bit of work, but the yeast in Chimay is alive, so you can use the dregs of the bottle to make a yeast starter, and brew your own.

Not hard to do, just make a starter and find a Chimay Blue recipe which is abundant on the interwebs. Beer Captured has probably the closest that I’ve tried but most of the Trappist brews readily give out their recipe. Westmalle comes to mind, they even have been known to give a sample of their yeast to visitors willing to worship for the day and sit in on a brewing session.

it’s alive how weird! what does that mean exactly? I guess it’s not alive in normal beer like Coors Light. I don’t know anything about brewing.
