Is $28 for Westvleteren 12 reasonable?

i'm pretty sure I paid something like 7 euro when I was in Belgium, what's that like ~$10 not worth more than $15 imo

 

No.
Split one?

 

While yes, you'll only pay about $10/btl from the abbey, in Belgium - you're paying that plus the cost of importing the beer and markup. I've heard/seen most places in the US selling it for $25-30/btl. I think it's a fair price, and unless you get lucky enough to try it in Belgium, it's worth it. Fantastic quad. Go in on a bottle with 2 or three others and it won't seem as rough. Cheers!

 

Definitely should split it with someone

 

To try it for the first time...I'd do it. And since I'm a quad fan....if you can get another and want to do a $4$ trade, DM me!

 

I traded for mine. Now he is a super guy, so he might have been extremely fair but I do not recall trading anywhere close to $30 worth of beer for it! More in the range of the lower to mid teens, if that! But seriously it doesn't hit the shelves very often. Was it a none labeled brewery only version or was it one with the painted on marks that came in the "brick"?

 

Just get it....

 

Sounds like that store probably got distro of that one when it hit the US awhile back and broke it up into singles. The ones that come straight from the brewery have no label or markings, just a bottle cap with the brewery information and drink by date on it. I don't know if there are any differences, but some people have said there is.

 

I don't know if "reasonable" is the right word, but if you have never had it and have wanted to $28 isn't going to break the bank. I'd say go for it. You will not be able to get it any other way for any less than that.

 

Absolutely. Best beer in the world

 

Find one of those places selling it illegally...lol.

 

LOL. Cask & Flask? I was trying to figure out when I could make it over, but when I saw the cost, I changed my mind.

 

Unless you are going to find yourself in Belgium in the immediate future, i say buy it.

 

I wouldn't pay 28 dollars for any single beer, but if you can afford it and are willing to pay that price, then go for it.

 

Buy the goddamn thing already! You know you want to or you wouldn't be posting lol

(And, hell yeah, I'd buy it... It's not the whale it used to be, but its still a whale... )

 

I gave them as xtras.

 

There's an online beer store in Belgium that sells it for more than that, then add shipping. Crazy, I tell ya.

 

no
