No that is my sort of trip.

More, like it says in the article, a pilgrimage. Cycling all the way to Belgium just for 3 beers. She must have been thirsty :lol:

I think I'd fall straight off my bike after a few trappist quads.

thats where I see self driving cars will be really usefull... to drive you back from the pub.

i've had the westy 12 and its very good but st. bernadus abt12 is just as nice and easier to get hold off.

wow that's over £350 worth if sold on... not that you'd deprive yourself of such a great brew :grin:

I had that dilemma when I went there. I decided there's no way I'm selling. I've aged best part of a crate for over a year now and it tastes even better. Need to go back this year and get some more.

Yes, I believe they were being sold in BrewDog Camden for �£25 each. I used to go on an annual pilgrimage and collect 2 crates but my tastes have changed and I no longer feel it's worth the bother.

The monks insist that they're not sold on and I've always stood by that. I have given a few away and swapped some though.
