    Always enjoy watching stuff from your trips Thijs. Not sure if it's just you, or they let just anyone in, but the access you seem to get to these places is amazing.

    I am like olive oil, i can slide in all different directions. No, honestly, it took me at least 12 visits and numerous contacts by mail before they/he even wanted to speak with me. Now i can say that brother Michael and i understand each other very well. Last monday he even gave me the keys of the abbey while they were praying in the chapel! That was very funny....

    Ah, I can almost smell that wonderful sour/sweet and delicious malty grain smell fine breweries have going on. Hopefully a brick or two of their fine nectar makes its way into my cellar. Thanks for all you do, man!

    The only Wesy I've had was a 12 that wasn't carb'd. I could taste what it would taste like, but wasn't as intended. Hope a set makes it to Minnesota this year!

    I can't think of a better person to have those keys.... I'm still aging an 8 and a 12 from the original Westvleteren you sent me (what seems) a long time ago!

    If you can get a chance to watch the monks pray, do it, it is a very surreal sight to see. I am not a religious person in the slightest but its a very cool thing to do.
