Where does everyone get their Westvleteren 12 from?

a small but wonderful little shop in Barcelona. Nine erou... but what the heck, it was vacation...

 

I know a monk.

 

I still have some left over from the U. S. Total Wine offering a few years back.

 

A friend's daughter is in Belgium for a semester of college. With minimal research it sounds like you have to go to St. Sixtus, how do you get info on calling the 'beerphone' to set up an appointment. Sounds like there may be another option from reading comments in this thread. Any details on giving her specific info about getting some for her father and I would be appreciated.

 

Through a friend that knows someone that lives in Belgium. We have ordered 2 cases in the past and its always a little scary when the box sits in NY while passing through customs.

 

People I work with went on business trip to Belguim. Brought 1 bottle back for me (I paid them well in return).

 

If she's in or near Brussels there is a place called the Bier Tempel about a block or so from the Grand Place where they often have it. Probably about 12 Euros per bottle and they put it in a nice protective mesh bottle sleeve for you when you buy it.

 

Traded a couple kbs for a bottle last year. was glad i got to try it, but not any/much better than st bernardus 12 that is available pretty much whenever at most bottle shops.

 

In the sun at In De Vrede with some cheese and blonde.

 

Traded a DarkLord 14 for a bottle.

 

I'm hoping to trade for some rather than having to pony up for shipping.

I gave my local brewery the recipe and they brew it for me on their pilot system. its about 3 barrels worth. After paying the brewery about $12 / bottle, I sell the bottles out of my beer cellar for about $30 bucks a pop. I don't have to work.

I know a monk who knows a monk who knows a monk who......

 

That and damn near every other whale you'd ever want to try in life. New folks, take notice.

 

I don't get it lol and most likely won't try it anytime soon. If I do it will be out of someone's generosity.

Everyone says abt 12 is close enough with no hype. Is what it is.

 

Belgium in a box a year or so ago. It was actually a good experience. I wasn't expecting much.

 

Also, it's the "original" Westy 12. For anyone that is unaware.
