Home from a week on business in Spain and London, so it is a good excuse to celebrate Friday with a Delerium tremens. This beer is one of the stable of beers from the Delerium cafe in Brussels brewed by Huyghe. As can be seen by the photo above of Mag-zilla and her Delerium Elephant, Brouwerij Huyghe is relentless in marketing. You can get their signature pink elephant in hats, shirts, stuffed animals and a bunch of other products. As would be expected by this, they have a strong presence in the US. I had this beer for the first time in Michigan about 6 years ago with my brother in law in the summertime and I think the warm weather would be the best time for this selection. As far as strong Blondes go, the Tremens is a pretty good example. A little bit of hop, some sweetness and a little bite from the 8.5% alcohol content. It is not an epic beer but a good exposure to Belgian beers for someone who may not have had them before. Three and a half Drunk Monks!
