Drinking Socially S4 Ep. 40: Trappist Travesty: Have you been fortunate enough to hang out with a brewer and ask them what their favorite beer is? Did they tell you it was Orval? Orval has become a beer of legends. Hailing from a Game-of-Thrones-esque abbey in the middle of the Belgian woods, this beer has ascended from the shelves of Belgium across the world. Generations of drinkers now consider this one to be...well kind of the GOAT. Not the animal people invite to yoga to eat your shoelaces, but one of the best and most well-respected beers of all time. On this episode of #DrinkingSocially podcasts hosts Harrison Hickok and Jon Dispenza are drinking the equivalent of a Pliny the Elder mixed with a Bourbon County and a Hair of the Dog "Dave" as they unlock the "Trappist Travesty" badge. Tune in if you're really into chasing Whales because they're taking it all the way back to 1931 to shed some light on one of the most distinguished beers of all the Trappist brews! by Drinking Socially - The Official Untappd Podcast
