Westvleteren 12 gift packs

Post by **chalmers** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 5:07 pm

I suspect they are ordering from Sherbrooke Liquors in Edmonton, who have, I believe, exclusive Canadian distribution bought from the monastary during an auction last year.
The case of 6 beer and 2 glasses will be ~$80 from Sherbrooke. But, they won't ship out-of-province.

Edit: Confirmed on BA, they're buying from Sherbrooke.

I may be wrong but I had heard that Horizon Wines in Canmore bought the distribution rights for Canada so it's second or third hand by the time it gets here. If you know anybody in Calgary Zyn Wines has them for about $79.80 per 6 pack including tax. Once you shipped them here it would likely cost you the same or more but if you have a friend there they can get it at Zyn.

Its really not 'too' bad of a price for them. (roughly $20 each + free glasses) And it really is a fantastic beer. I've been lucky enough to have it a few times, and it's always been world class.

I can only justify the price as I think it's my only chance to grab some, cheaper than ebay or trip to Belgium...

And according to the Facebook post - $20 under the anticipated price.

$100, nice!

I'd ordered some from Sherbrooke Liquor (this was before Premier had advertised they'd be carrying the packs), final cost was $75 (to Edmonton). Now I've got to pay back my mule to get them within drinking distance. Will come in a little lower, but not much (and I won't have it today!).

That's a little better. Mule makes it sound like I'm smuggling them to Nova Scotia wrapped in a condom concealed in a body cavity. Hopefully I'll get them shipped out soon.

I just need to decide if one case is enough for me or if I should pick up some more. With a 15 year shelf life I'm guessing my 6 bottles will run out before then. How many of you are drinking them right away and how many are letting them age for a few years?

Post by **chalmers** » Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:29 pm

I'll probably drink one right away out of one of the glasses, put the other glass up on my special glass shelf, and then forget about the rest of the bottles until I move or die.

Pretty much what I did, though I used both glasses. However I intend to drink the other bottles prior to death haha. At least I sure as hell hope so.
