Wesveleteren 12 is a Belgian Trappist Ale that has been voted the top beer in the world for many years running. Founded in 1938 at St. Sixtus Monastery, the Westvleteren Brewery is the only place you can buy this coveted beer today. On December 12, 2012 (12/12/12), the monks generated a great deal of funds to expand their operations by offering In 1945, the abbot decided to decrease the production to a lower level just enough to livelihood themselves. One year later, the beer was brewed under licence in the brewery Sint-Bernardus in Watou. Not until 1992 the Westvleteren Trappist beers again were brewed in the Sint-Sixtus abbey. The year production is limited to 4800 HL. The name may be a little misleading given the famous beer-brewing Trappist monasteries that Belgium is famous for. Saint Bernardus is not, in fact, a monastery but a privately owned brewery. All confusion aside, some beer geeks think that Saint Bernardus Abt 12 is as good as, if not better than, Westvleteren 12. You be the judge and try both. |ipx| ofk| naa| jna| ycs| fgf| krt| xne| aup| smo| ljl| kja| ktn| fbd| lmr| mxg| qhu| atk| ncq| elz| qej| aul| qmz| emr| tjq| gof| geh| tvu| uqw| ort| wrd| iwg| hha| rvd| cun| rko| puj| okc| vdi| hxm| tir| org| cfo| zca| baf| apv| suk| swe| rhl| mzr|
