The ones I've seen come in 750ml bottles (like wine), are corked like champagne, and run anywhere from $8 to $15/bottle.

I've had the Duchesse de Bourgogne and now the Rodenbach Grand Cru, both of which are in the Flanders red ale styles. Another I'm keeping an eye out for is the Monk's Cafe Flanders Red Ale.

Liefman's Oud Bruin is a Flanders brown.

Lambics are similar to the sours: Cantillon Grand Cru Bruocsella, Boon Oude Kreik, Cantillon Kriek, Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus, Cantillon St. Lamvinus, Hanssens Oud Kriek.

Oud Gueze: Boon Oude Gueuze, Cantillon Gueze.
Great info. Thanks!

I looked at totalwines website and they have quite a few! Those include Monk's Cafe, Duchesse de Bourgogne, Strubbe Flemish Red Ale and Lost Abbey Red Barn Ale just to name a few.

Sounds like an interesting taste. Will be even more interesting to see if I like it!

Thanks FMB.
