My beverage is a about a beer that is constantly rated as one of the top in the world. I have had it one time.
Westvleteren 12
The most highly sought-after amongst Belgian Trappist beers is the Westvleteren 12. I have shared one of them with three friends in December 2014.
The Cistercian monks decided after World War II that their brewing activities wouldn’t be a distraction from prayer or other manual labor, and have become notorious for sticking by that decision. A notable exception came in 2011, when the monastery needed extra funds to subsidize renovations and over 90.000 packets were distributed via supermarket Colruyt.
This beer is classified as a Quadruple or Quad and has a ABV of 10.2%. Acquiring it is not done by visiting Total Wine. No, to obtain this wonderful brew you need to get to Saint Sixtus Abbey in Westvleteren, a 20-minute drive from Ypres, Flanders. A second way is have friends like Carey and Joanna Read who in 2014 had access to beers from around the world on the grey market.
I will let the YouTube Video explain a little more about Westvleteren 12
It doesn’t have to be beer but what BEVERAGE does everyone else want to share.
