    Can anyone tell me if you can buy Petit Orval/Orval Vert at the Orval Abbey shop? I'll be in the area and would consider stopping to buy some but not just to go to the A l'Ange Gardien to try it.

    No. You can buy it on tap in the abbey cafe.

    Second that. You can only drink the Orval Vert in l'Ange Gardien or in the Abbey itself (you can stay there if you when if you seek some peace and quiet). You can buy a L'Ange Gardien glass (green and with hand-wings), but that's it.

    Thanks for the replies. My quest to try all the Belgian Trappists (I only have Westmalle Extra and Petit Orval to go) may have to wait a little.

    You can buy the Westmalle Extra in bottles (33cl) though.

    Thanks. I'll try to get some when I visit Belgium in a few weeks. I'll try Biertempel in Brussels. Any other shops it's been spotted in? I know it's not easy to find.

    I know two shops in Brugge that sell them, no idea about Brussel. But I think the Biertempel will have them.

    Westmalle Extra is also on the menu at Grote Dorst. You can also buy it from http://www.bieresgourmet.be/
    I'm at the same quest but only have Achel 5° blond and bruin left. Good luck!

    Sometimes you I see the Petit Orval on bottle, but they are very very very rare.

    David, I had one at 't Antwaerps Bierhuyske not long before I moved. Not sure if they still have any in stock. Westmalle Extra was also available there.
