Westvleteren XII Boxes Arrive in Canada

$66 invested at the present going rate of 2.5% (tops) will get me to $804 in 100 years. I hope there's no inflation or taxes on my income during that time either...

 

Are any of these boxes in Vancouver?

 

yeah, we kind of wish we allocated more than a half day in that neck of the woods. not much to do that doesn't involve breweries or bikes. but drinking fresh Westy at the cafe? eh. overrated. too touristy. De Strusse was much better. laid back and legit.
wish i would have been into De Dolle back then. would have loved to see their brewery.

 

I have been to the area three times and for whatever reason I keep forgetting to go to De Dolle. It has a iron mash tun and I have heard it is super cool oh well next visit.

 

Hi,

I'm from Québec and we r not going to get any! I'm looking forward to try this beer for a while now!
How could I put my hands on a 6 pack?

 

get me some A La Fut lambic and we can talk trade

 

Whoa, wait, what? À La Fût lambic?? Please say this is a real thing!! Earlier today I was talking with another BA about this brewery quickly becoming one of the best in Canada (to us anyways), and now you say they have a lambic?!!
Holy frickin' ISO!!!

 

Great atomeyes, I just sent a email to a la fut to find out where I can get the lambic...

 

Think he's talking about these ones. They're technically not lambics but to some varying degrees they could be called sours. The first 2 or 3 are long gone from the shelves but maybe the last one might still be available. I'll see if i can find some:

Quebec has some real gems. Next time I am in Montreal I will have to rent a car and go on a little road trip to some of these places.

 

I was afraid someone would say that. Thanks for the info!

 

Actually there's a couple of co hop V at the store near my place. They are aged in oak barrel for 17 months it's actually a rouge des flandres not sure what is the translation.A verry similar ond new beer would be this one.

Aged in oak barrel that was used previously for red wine...

Any good for a trade? i'm Still interested in a 6 pck of westvleteren 12.

 

It's kind of flown under the radar around here but yes, should be an easy trade even at the high price tag. Also happens to be the "Beer of the Year", not that most around here would trust those judges opinions over other BA's.

 

Just got a message back from à la fût look's like they will have a lambic beer. They told me it's still aging in oak barrels and that it will be available in 12 month's.

 

Managed to get my hands on one of these Westvleteren 6 packs during a trip to Halifax (Im in Ontario so who knows when the LCBO will release theirs). 99.99 after taxes. Im a little disappointed at how small the glasses are hah.

 

What he said ^^^^^^^
I'm going to Vancouver in a couple of weeks. To pick up one of these sets would be sweet!

 

Strongly agree with you. Had a 12 this past weekend that I got as a gift and was not impressed. I'll turn around to the SAQ any day and by a rochefort 10 for 4.30$ before I buy a westy 12.

More for those who love it right?

 

Well, i won't know if i'll like the 12 unless i try it

 

True. Right now it's a little hot and less complex than Rochefort IMHO. I've had it with a couple of years on it and its really nice then...

If you get a bottle sit on it.

As an aside I had the 8 with a year on it and it was stellar.

 

What??? The Westy 12 is so better, IMO! The Rochefort is too sweet, while the 12 had a nice sligh bitter finish that I adore!
