Judgment Day – William Brand’s Beer of the Week

IF YOU’RE LIKE ME and prowl the shelves of well-stocked beer stores, you may have seen a stream of new Belgian-style beers in corked, 750 ml bottles from the Lost Abbey in Southern California.

It’s a stream of hits and misses, and when there’s hit, it’s fantastic. One of the hits is Judgment Day (HHH1/2), about $8, a powerful 10.5 percent dark beauty, fermented with raisins. It’s our Beer of the Week.

But then, there is another side to the Port Brewing Company the spiritual side. Those beers, The Lost Abbey ales, are true-to-style, impressively accurate and just wonderful Belgian-style ales, including saisons, dubbels and quads.
