ne of the 7 official trappist beers is even in Belgium very hard to find or buy. Uptill now, every time you want to buy a Westvleteren Trappist, you have to give a phonecall to the monks in the abbey. After one month, you can drive to the monastery itself and get there one beer-chest of 24 bottles (that’s the maximum).
But maybe this scenario will change in future. The monks of Westvleteren are tempting to sell their luxury trappist in the local Belgian supermarket ‘Colruyt’. They are thinking to put ‘luxe and present boxes’ of their holy liquid on the supermarketshelves in 2011.
Why they are doing this? Not just to make more money, but because the monastery in which they are living, needs a strong refurbishment.
Westvleteren Trappist Beer
Westvleteren had been many times elected as ‘best beer in the world’. It is/was the last official trappist beer which was not commercialised. Uptill decades ago, trappist beers in Belgium were only sold for
covering basic life maintenance of the monks.

How’s the situation about that? Did it already hit the shelves? I’m really curious about that…
Never tried this. It’s about as rare as a politician’s apology. I dream of having this dance across my lips one day.
Not sure about the title the world’s best beer. How do you judge it?
Now following you on twitter too. Looking forward for beer recommendations!
Good job
