Social drinker which means last time I had any alcohol was all the way back in march. Favorite drink is ether Belgian or Dutch style beer, with a Quadrupel being my favorite. My top 2 would be St. Bernardus ABT 12 followed by Ommegang Three Philosophers. Both expensive and probably not going to find it in a restaurant so in those setting I mostly just get something like a Blue Moon since it basically available anywhere.

Back when I was in my early 20's over a decade ago was more of a moderate/heavy drinker and prefer hard liquor whiskey, vodka etc. Those days are long behind me and I no longer have the tolerance I had back then and even moderate drinking these days would mean I not going to want to do anything the next day. It just not worth feeling that way or putting my body through that anymore. I think last time I drank enough to be drunk was about 5 years ago.

Those two sound great. how do they compare to Kwak or Chimay? 

Cimay great would actually be a tough call between that and Three Philosophers for me.  My guess most people would probably prefer Cimay but I never had a chance to do a side by side taste test as Cimay really hard to find around me.  I already have to drive a hour away to find ABT 12 or Three Philosophers.  Got a 100 liquor stores within 15min from me but none of them will stock any of the Belgian or Dutch beers I like.

For me personally nothing beats St Bernardus ABT 12.

Kwak I personally was not impress with but Tripel Karmeliet made by same brewery as Kwak is extremely good I thought.  

EDIT:  just to be clear I thought Kwak 1000 times better then blue moon or any of the other typical beers I find around me, I just mean compare to the other top beers out there I was not impressed.
