Westvleteren was considered as one of the best beers in the world and very hard to obtain outside of Belgium. But about a decade ago they needed to raise money for repairs or something, so they exported a big batch. My buddy and I searched high and low as there was a buying frenzy for this stuff, until randomly in a small mountain town liquor store on the floor of their walk-in fridge we found a flat of this stuff, so we bought them all. Anyway I didn't like it at all haha found it it way too "flavourful" price-is-right-sad-trombone.wav
