Trappist Westvleteren

So my contact for the Westy's just emailed me, since so many people have inquired, he is now giving us a group discount. Say you came from heathernferrara@gmail.com, and he will give you 12 bottles for 150 shipped. That is downright stealing them at that price, 6 bottles go for over a $100 on eBay, when you can find them.

You better come to the NYC area monthly meet up with a bottle and share, otherwise, I'm hunting you down on the garbage island and bringing ammo with.

I am not cool enough to be invited to one yet =)

I understand that many think that this is the "Be all, End all" of beer, but damn that is a lot of money to pay for it. And knowing that it directly goes against the wishes of the Monks that brew it, well IMHO it just seems wrong.

Eh, it's the best beer I have had so far, but the St. Bernardus Abt 12 (60th Anniversary "Special Edition") in the tin is pretty damn close, and its $11 for a 22 bomber. I believe used to contract out some brewing for Westy as well. A lot of people feel the Bernardus 60th is almost identical to the Westy 12. But you know, like I said before, people thinking nothing of dropping 50 or even a 100 on a bottle of wine, and I think a beer of this complexity and taste is worth the same.

So am I supposed to be placing the order, or is someone just sending it to me to distribute to the rest of the people? How's the $ going to change hands?

I had thought you were going to contact the seller and host the group buy?

Let me know if you can/want do this. Figured it was easiest since you wanted the crate.

If thats not possible, I can host it.

It's open to all nyc botl's, here's the thread: http://www.cigarpass.com/forumsipb/index.php?showtopic=47392

Not sure where we'll be this month yet. Check back in a few days and it'll be up there.

OK, I'm doing this...is it only 12, or is there enough for me to pull the trigger on 24?

Someone is welcome to jump in my place...I ended up getting in touch with him directly and also picking up some bottles Westy 8, Struise Pannepot, Pannepeut and Black Albert David is very easy to deal with and shipped quickly...hopefully I should have my box of 24 by early next week.

 

[Phlicker]

Looks like I've got enough to go with a full 24:

Jonas (6)
Mike (6)
Kiwifruit (3)
Flying Panther (3)
Gregg (3)
AmateurAfficionado (3)

I'll be shooting PM's to all in order to get the ball rolling.

Woot!

I just got in contact with our friend overseas. The total for 24 shipped is $315, not $300, so please adjust your reimbursements accordingly!

Are you guys getting the 8 or the 12?

I am off to the Abby in the morning, can't wait. I will try to take some pictures if I can.

[Phlicker]

This is for the 12. If you have any extra 8 after Justin gets his fill, I'd be happy to buy a few off of you. (Heck, I'll even pay to have the wooden crate shipped!)

I think we're full for 24 now, but if anyone backs out you'll be the first to jump in.

Well I was asking you in case you were thinking of sparing one. Thanks and I will stay optimistic on your offer
