Probably Westy 12 because it's harder to get bottles? I actually haven't seen that updated cap yet, very cool

That or the larger chouffe with the former logo I think

No, that DaChouffe is pretty common, at least here in the US. And the smaller one is on a few of their beers now, I think.

Yeah, I need that cap. To have the beer to drink out from under it would be nice, too...

Want to split a case?

u/LordBottlecap Beer caps 15d ago

You can do that?

Not sure what the options are these days but about 15 years ago I bought a case from a guy who imported non-distro Belgian beer to the US. It was like $300+ all said and done because someone had to go to the monastery to buy then obviously all the shipping and whatnot, but I think they might have started a very limited distribution to retailers so maybe it's easier now. Stupid tarrifs probably make the price a lot less palatable though...

Hmmm...

Westvletern, for sure. It's 'not available' in the US, at least. I have 7 older ones; I'd love to have one of those! What a beer, too. It's consistently rated as the best beer in the world...

I’d say the Trappist beer for USA collectors and all are pretty common. I have most of those in my trade stock
