Westvleteren 12 will be making it's way to Ireland soon. It won't be cheap, but we wouldn't expect it to be given that it's the hardest genuine Trappiste beer to get your hands on. A suggested price of €50 per six pack which includes 2 glasses is likely to be the going rate per Brick.They call the pack a brick as it is on special release to raise money to make repairs on the Abbey. Each Brick sold buys a Brick. Good idea. We'll buy some for those who want to pre order and limit it to maybe 10 Bricks. This is probably a once in a lifetime chance to try this Beer I'll tell you more when I find out more. TBM
Holy moly!
ReplyDeleteThese are from the November release, right?
(I heard whispers and rumors that they're supposed to do a much bigger INTL release this spring again in Feb/March.)
That's actually not a bad price for that beer at all. I paid 20€ for my very first bottle of it a few years ago.

ReplyDeleteThe story goes that a select few countries will recieve delivery, but that Ireland is first and is probably getting the most. It's a once off according to the Abbey, purely a fundraising mission.
ReplyDeleteThey only doubled the price compared to the sale in Belgium in November...
