Trappist Westvleteren 12[views:2758][posts:5]___________________________________ [Apr 4,2012 1:15pm - Alx_Casket ""] Anyone who knows world beer will know this name. It's called the best beer in the world and has never been sold in the States until now... well, soon. The trappist monks are set to fix up the abbey and brewery, and to raise funds they are releasing ~75,000 cases of this beer worldwide. I was lucky enough to try it at a small pub in Brussels, and it was incredible. The 8 and 10 are available for purchase at beer stores, but to get the 12 you would normally have to visit the brewery itself, by appointment only. Definitely try it out if you have the means. I'll post here if I find out where it will be available in the Boston area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westvleteren_Brewery http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/313/1545 |

First come first served on limited availability items. Note: Unavailable until we hear more from the importer. We'll reactivate the product when we find out the status. http://www.beership.com/trappist-westvleteren-12.html |
