Had a hop hound ale the other day, made by Michelobe I guess. The beer should not be called that. It was a little sweet and overall just very uninspired. Certainly no hops.

Dude, I had that too. I was in this crapole bar and saw it on tap. I was thinking...hey that is new, might be worth a try. FAIL! I was wondering the same thing...did they even put hops in there or just grab that name out of thin air?

By similar reasoning, Budweiser and Michelob might also be good Belgian offerings.

I didn't know Budweiser and Michelob are brewed in Belgium. I thought Bud was brewed in a half dozen to a dozen locations around the States. Obviously there is much more to it as Ommegang was an artesinal brewery that even built it's brewhouse in the style of a Belgian Farmhouse and produces beers in the Belgian styles. I would recommend Hennepin or Three Philosophers as a beer to try from them.

They also have one in england and a dozen or so in china

I know Fat Tire gets a lot of heat, but at a lot of places it's the only beer besides BMC on tap. I'm not going to rush out and buy a 6er of it, but sometimes it's the best option. Not a great beer, but okay.
