Can you find Bell's beer in Belgium?

Haha, you must be kidding. Please send me a sixpack. I'll pm you my address. Muchas gracias!
Worth asking as some US beers go to Europe in small numbers.

Before I go really crazy: in Belgium we have pils, pale (7-10 EBC) and vienna, and that's it.

So what's the best 'translation' of 2/3 2-row and 1/3 pale?

I would use the pale, slightly darker than the Briess pale ale. I don't get Vienna flavor from Two Hearted. Can you find Bell's beer in Belgium? The Chico yeast works OK, the Bell's is a little fruitier and has an Orange character to that fruit. You can culture the Bell's from a bottle of their ales.

1272 might be a solid option here.

+1.  If he can get it, it might be the closest thing.

I doubt GigaYeast has found its way to Belgium, but I wonder if Conan/Vermont IPA would be a good choice for a Bells clone

I'm pretty sure. Only through trading...

How about Denny's favorite? I have that in my fridge. Or is that a taboo yeast on this forum?

It'd work great. Not taboo at all. It's a great yeast.

I have seen many US beers in England. Anchor and Sierra Nevada send beer to Denmark.
