So apparently this company makes the best beer in the world but it can only be bought at their brewery? The Westvleteren XII is said to be the best beer in the world. It was released for sale in stores today and ALREADY is sold out. I was planning on buying one today after work but by the time I got out and called the stores they were all sold out. The cases were 6 packs with two glasses and sold at $85.

Here is an article about the release, http://121212xii.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/the-westvleteren-project/

The case is up on ebay for $350 right now.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Westvleteren-XII-12-Belgian-Trappist-Ale-Rare-Brick-Gift-Pack-/110989244614?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d77978c6

It's been known as being the best beer in the world for a while now. Made by monks in Belgium who sell just enough of it to keep their monastery up and running. I'll get my hands on it someday.

The liquor store in the town I live in got some of it. It's a shame that its probably all sold out already.

I went to belgium last year at easter break and i went to the abbey where they brew this shit and had a glass of it /claim
pretty damn good but not my favorite and they were selling it for about 10 euros a cup depending on which variety you had and that's the cheapest place you can buy it.
i feel like best beer in the world is highly subjective so i say if you're gonna spend money on quality belgian beer get this Click for larger image

But in all seriousness what makes this beer different? As in why would I feel obligated to give my first born for a six pack? However, I really want to try it now.
