Partial Transcript: "On Tap - Delirium Tremens

Hi. I'm James Knott and this is your Better Beer Authority. Today we are drinking a beer that was named the "Best Beer in the World" at the 1998 World Beer Championships. I'm talking about Delirium Tremens from the Huyghe (HOY-ga) Brewery in Belgium.

The brewery was founded in 1906 by Leon Huyghe.

Delirium Tremens is a Belgian Strong Pale Ale with 8.5% ABV. They use 3 different strains of yeasts for fermentation. Huyghe began producing Delirium in 1989. It is now their flagship offering and they call it their "very best beer" on their website.

What's the meaning of the name? Delirium Tremens, or "the DTs", is latin for "trembling madness". It is a violent sickness induced by withdrawal after alcohol abuse.
