Belgium

Well, there's this little monestary over in Belgium, and if you go up to the right window on the right day ...

Westvleteren is notoriously difficult to find. It's not even all that easy in Belgium (but a hell of a lot easier than in the States, of course). The monks only release the beer a couple days a week, and technically speaking people aren't supposed to resell it. Best bet, if it is found in your local area periodically, is to make friends with your shop's beer buyer and ask him to give you a shout when it comes in.

Otherwise, you'll probably need to start exploring mail-order solutions.

is a Belgian-based business that'll ship. But you have to order a good amount, and shipping is not cheap. Some of the other larger American specialty shops might also have it in stock from time to time.

sales outside of the monastery and its cafe 'in de vrede' is illegal. i just went there beginning of May......woohoo :) everything was already sold out until august but the cafe still sells the 6 packs. got some stuff from the monk and the receipts reads at the top in bold text in dutchie 'not for further sale!'. see some of my photos of the heavenly brew here

Best bet maybe is to hop on the PA turnpike and get to Philly, and go here:
