 Westvleteren 12. Only bout half of one of the cases will eventually find itself to be in a cellar near me though. Rochefort 10 is just as good, and much easier to find. Supradog has a new favorite as of 16:06 on Dec 2, 2014 |

Wait, how did you get two cases? Don't they sell just one case a man, it's been a while since I visited so I'm probably miseremembering but as far as I can remember they check for your license plate and everything and only sell you one case per car. Anyway congrats with buying one of the most exclusive beers and probably the best quadrupel in the world!

Their order process is changed a little bit, but is still as insane as before. code:They only sell by cases of 24, with 2 cases max. They also have a limit on how many sales they book for each day. Prices is currently 30/35/40 euro a bottle for blond/8/12 respectively so those 2 cases are about $1785 in total. They prefer card, not cash and each buyer is asked not to resell any of the beer, they are for personal consumption. Supradog has a new favorite as of 20:16 on Dec 2, 2014 |

Dude, if you are making a total of $2500 for three months of fulltime work (even if you are only talking about discretionary spending income), you need to go back to school or something.

Yeah but it's like 10% abv so one bottle is like having two bottles of most beers. So it's only like a $25 bottle of beer. That's not far off what most sports stadiums charge :P

I'd like to try that, but I don't feel like renting a car to drive there and spending over 1000 dollars on beer. I get that rarity is valuable, but if it's something I've never tried before and can't really try before buying, I don't see how people can justify spending that much on it for the sole reason that it is rare.

Well, they're on the level of an good bottle of wine. Open one and share in fancy glasses, real special occasion stuff. They store real good, and also mature and change since they're unfiltered. 10 years or more of maturation is no problem. The monks themselves only sell enough to keep their monastery going and only recently upped the price to get money for a new roof(as far as I recall). More info on them here.

That kinda beer is expensive sure and buying it semi-unethically in a bottle shop is really expensive at 15 euro a bottle, but it's not a 1976 vintage Cuvée brut and if really did pay 1800 for those cases I'm really sorry to say this but you got monumentally ripped off. How did you buy these cases anyway, did you actually drive to the monastary in in West-Flanders?

I'm not an expert on how it all works by any means, but last summer one afternoon we drove there on a whim and you could buy Westvleteren Blond/5/8, up to two sixpacks per person, no reservation, no limit per license plate. It's either/or with the varieties though, you've got to take the one they finished most recently. Which is information you can probably find on the internet somewhere. It's only Westvleteren 12 that has all the crazy hoops and restrictions, as far as I know. And yeah, if he paid 30 a bottle, he was ripped off.

$2k would buy a decent amount of coke. I think I'd rather do that instead. That's if it's 30 per bottle or whatever. If it's 30 for a case of 24 then that's barely more expensive than regular beer, if at all (in Belgium).

mobby_6kl posted:$2k would buy a decent amount of coke. I think I'd rather do that instead. I think the Quad is 40,- a case which really is not that expensive for a craft brewskie, I regularly spend quite a bit more on expensive British or American beers that don't have the amazing reputation Westvleteren has.

What does that do that just holding onto a key and using that to touch something grounded doesn't, other than some stupid  smiley?Holding a key lets me know it works cause I usually hear a little "zap" when it discharges mt static into the car/whatever.

This really makes me happy, since I got this as a Christmas present for a group of friends who have a house together, and the name on the shipping address is a weird amalgamation of all three of their names. It does make me wonder if my name is on the cards though, since it's the name on the credit card that paid. Either way, it's going to be fun when all this stuff starts showing up at their house without any advance warning.
