Westy 12 in Chicago

My average has been skewed by the purchase of a case of BCS and a case of CW BBS in the past week. (I try to keep it around $50 per week.)

 

Vav, when will the "really big news" hit

BREAKING NEWS!!!! Stephen Nieman is disenfranchised with the Chicago beer culture!

Seriously though, the big news will come out when it comes out.

So when is that Abyss coming out??

 

New Glarus buying AB-InBev, pulling all brands out of all regions except WI

 

My mom just called there (DG) and she was told they were sold out.

I walked in DG Binny's a little before new and grabbed one.

 

That Vav popped the craft beer bubble officially today with a broken piece of a westy 12 challis?

Binny's Beverage ‏@BinnysBev
The Lincoln Park Binny's is now SOLD OUT of Westvleteren XII. That means we're all sold out. #westpocolypse

 

Is the big news Two Brothers getting into coffee?

 

You do get two chalices. Most Belgian chalices are going to run about $10 or so. I'd figure the beer itself to be about $65 about $1.03/oz., however, just my opinion.

To be completely frank, I find this statement to be ridiculously arrogant and inaccurate. I know several people who have been craft beer drinkers for over 15 years, including me, that have never tried Westy 12. Did I wait in line this morning? No, but I would have if I thought it was going to be necessary. Did I buy a brick? Yes.

I've never put much effort in obtaining it since I figured it would come my way eventually--most brews do if you're patient. Also, I wasn't willing to incur the expense (over 20 euro for a single bottle). To say that people don't know "whatsup" is fairly insulting. As pointed out earlier in this thread, most BA beers are running $1 an oz, some even more. Calculate the cost per oz. for the Bruery's BA stuff. In my opinion, an extremely well-made Belgian quad is going to kick the ass of half of the latest hotshot, hyped-up, Bourbon bombs out there. Westy 12 has always been trumpeted to be top of the heap. Perhaps it's the "craft beer n00bs" that can't appreciate that? Just something to think about.

 

Internets are telling me that maybe Miller bought Windy City Distro...

 

sir, your logically refuting someone with the name "playaplaya". You may be wasting your time. Is playaplaya one of those DeKalbers?
