is also close to St Sixtus, and Poperinge is the Hop region of Belgium.

I've got several bottles of all three beers here at the moment. Of course, the monks tell you you're not allowed to sell them on - not that anyone takes any notice.

I'm not selling mine, anyway. The 12% is being laid down for about 3 years to see if that restores it to its former substantially better self. I may drink the 6%. I haven't decided what to do with the 8% yet.

i can drink me 4 six packs #12 in two years then :)

hey, you're not supposed to resale this liquid nourishment!

Have you tried westvletern ?

check out the last 5 pix :)

The abbey is known as The Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren. Saint Sixtus beers *are* Westvleteren beers.

They were called St Sixtus when brewed at sint bernardus, since the contract has ended , westvletern beers are only brewed at the abbey , are unlabelled but with the info on the crown cap. Westvletern beers have not been brewed at sint bernardus since 1992.

The St. Barnardus brewed beers, branded St. Sixtus, were a commercially-produced version of the Westvleteren beers. The St. Bernardus brewery is still brewing , but their beers now carry their own name and are no longer brewed to the Westvleteren recipes, apparently.
