You're missing out on something in life if you've never tried Chimay. I think I like the blue label the best. Down in the French Quarter there was this little convenience store that sold 12 oz. bottles of Chimay for about $2. Whenever I was down there, I'd make a point to pass by and pick up a couple and drink them while walking around. Otherwise I'd have to deal with this 750 mL bottle with a cork. Of course, I could have gone with the "Big ASS Beer" usually a 64 oz. Bud Light. 
I'm kinda partial to Orval, as trappist ales go. It's much richer than Chimay, more chocolatey, but not as enjoyable as Chimay.
But really, I stick to the local microbrew. We've got 4-5 within a few miles of our house. Yazoo (the best one), Blackstone, Bosco's, Big River, and Bohannon Brewery. Yazoo's Hefeweizen is better than some German ones I've had, but maybe that's a freshness thing. We got a keg of their pale ale once, and I swear that thing was breaking some laws. I drank 6 cups (only) over the course of a night, was stumbling drunk and had a hangover for 2 days.
