I'm going to have four buddies over tonight for a Belgian beer tasting. Each buddy is tasked with bringing at least two beers of a predetermined style. All of the styles are obviously pretty different from one another so I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for a tasting order. We plan to try both beers of the one style and then move on to the next style until we've worked through them all. Thanks! The styles are: Gueze Dubbel Tripel Quad Saison
Gueuze/Saison (I would go with Saisons first personally, just my preference though) Triple Dubble Quad When we do tastings at work, we try to gauge what we believe to have the more subtle soft notes and put those before the malty/boozy big beers. Have a great tasting- post pics.
I'd save the geyser for last, personally. Preferably after a nice break. so, with munchies and stuff all along, Saison dubbel Tripel Quad Dinner Geuze.
I would do Dubbel, Saison, Trippel, Gueuze and finish with the Quad. Dubbels, Trippels, and Quads can be similar in flavors and have the mix in between would help separate the beer flavors.
