This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to try Westvleteren beer. Unanimously rated the "best beer in the world."

Westvleteren 12 is a Belgian Trappist Ale that has consistently been voted the single best tasting beer in the world. All major beer rating sites agree that this is the pinnacle of beers, including: Beer Advocate, Rate Beer and Beer Pal.

That's a little over 2,300 beer experts saying that this is the best beer, anywhere. Located in the western corner of Belgium, the St Sixtus Abbey (or Westvleteren Abdij) is home to the Trappist Westvleteren Brewery. The Brewery was founded in 1838 and is owned and operated by the monks of the St Sixus Abbey.

The 8 and 12 are bottle conditioned and have a long shelf life, with some drinkers preferring the taste when the beers have been stored for several years. This means that the beers age almost like wine.
