Stella Artois is the commercial Belgian beer, but still beats any American beer. That being said, I can't remember how many different Belgian beers we had while up there, but Stella wasn't on the top of the "best" list, so if you want some really good Belgian beer, keep looking.
We luckily (and apparently illegally since it's not supposed to be resold) got our hands on a few bottles of Westvleteren, and I must say, it's exclusivity matches it's quality and taste. It's not going to be for everyone, but for me -- not being a beer guy -- it was really, really good.
