Belgians, especially flemish, think their beers are the best in the world and wouldn't consider Aussie/German beers any worth! :)
Chimay is nice, although the kinds that are served here are extremely overpriced and nowhere close to the best of what they have or others.
Each town in Flanders has its special beer. And each beer will have its unique glass/mug/jars. I had good opportunity to explore quite a few ..
the bests 1) Duvel 2) Westmalle 3) Jupiler 4) Maes 5) Koninck 6) Kriek 7) Trapist/Tripel 8) Rodenbach (Flemish red) 9) Hoegarden
actually there are so many .. that tiny country makes more than 500 types of beer! Not counting the various monastry brewed ones. I used to buy from one such monastry who also used to serve their special cheese which is just heavenly with their brew
Theres this place called "Brugs beertje", a cafe in Brugge where if you would taste a different beer everyday, you would take more than 1.5 years to finish their collection. (Banana beer including) http://www.brugsbeertje.be/
Btw, Beer in flemish is actually bear. and Bier is actually beer ... "Brugs beertje" actually means "small bear of brugge" :)
