Say what you will, but I don't think I have ever tasted a beer as delicious as the Westvletteren 12. While in Belgium you have to go to the brewery (Sint-Sixtusabdij van Westvleteren) located in Vlieteren. It's a great atmosphere, and the beer is fantastic. Just as a heads up, they will only sell you up to 12 beers per person at a time, unless you take the tour, at which point I believe they will sell you a 2-4. But make sure you book in advance for the tour.

Legend has it that it's the best beer in the world. I've also read that St Bernardus Abt 12 is the same recipe - they were contracted to make it at one point. I do know that Abt 12 is fantastic. We used to be able to get it at the NSLC for a while, but it's been gone for a long time now.

I just got back from a trip there, but had a very different feeling on Westvletteren. I had all three at the cafe across the street from the abbey and while all are good, I do not think the 'best beer in the world' reputation is at all correct. Anyway, my two cents. Glad I made the trek into the countryside to try it, but next trip I won't be bothering to go back there. Been there, done that, would have bought the t-shirt if they had one!
