I'm not sure why you picked San Pablo, CA. I'm sure I'm the closest list 
member. Ah, I see, the site picks based on my 
location, sort of.

However, I need not go nearly so far. A 750 ml bottle of Blue Grand Reserve was 
sitting about 4-5 feet from my chair. 
I'd have to go all the way into the kitchen and open the fridge for a 330 ml 
bottle of Red or White. :-)

Both Chimay and Duvel are usually available at the local Costco and several 
others at other nearby outlets. Even there, 
they seem expensive for everyday use.

Truth be told, I find there are beers as good or better available from local 
micro breweries, but the excellent ones of 
those aren't cheap, either.

My son the beer aficionado and graphic artist has now done a couple of labels 
for one of his his local breweries for 
trade, not cash, so he walks in and gets his growlers filled for 'free'.
