As much as I love US microbrews, this is not quite a
valid comparison.
They've produced lots of good pale ales and stouts. However, Chimay,
Duvel and other Trappist-style beers have a taste and appeal all their
own that have no equivalent in the States.
If I may include our neighbors to the north, I'd say Unibroue gives
Chimay a run for its money.
