Not only does the restaurant offer traditional Belgian fare, but it also also features an ever-changing selection of Belgian beers and ales, considered to be among the best in the world. Here's the problem: I've looked over the beer selection, and I must confess, nothing looks all that familiar. So, I'm providing a link so people can look it over and make recommendations -- I'm thinking in particular Pete the Younger and Joe the Brewer. And everyone should try to remember that I'm in my IPA period right now. Anyway here's the beer selection: Beers & Ales. I'll be checking the comments before we leave.

It's hard to beat an amusing presumption, but powerful & complex (Chimay Grand Reserve (Blue)) will do in a pinch.
Beyond that, ask the beer steward.
Yeah, you can't go wrong with Chimay Blue.
To satisfy your IPA tooth, try out Hopus Belgian Bitter or the Corsendonk Pale Ale.
I read both comments with interest and gratitude, and then promptly forgot what beers had been recommended once I got to the restaurant. I ended up ordering a draft Piraat ale, which they called an Amber Triple IPA. I didn't think it was quite bitter enough. But there was a picture of pirate ship on the glass it was served in, which was cool, it had an alcohol content of 10.5% and it was still pretty good -- all in all, a good choice, I thought. And then with dessert I had, at the server's recommendation, a draft strawberry lambic, which didn't taste like beer at all, but was fine nonetheless.
This would be a great place to go to with a really fussy beer crowd.
As I know nothing about beer, you did well to ignore my comment. With James, it's another story. I only know about language and women, so 'powerful & complex' seemed a good choice to me.
