Go Boulevard! That's my favorite Boulevard beer by a long shot. YES, even over (an un-aged) BBQ.

I have justified this by ...Oh, don't say that! I have justified this by telling myself i'm not reselling, only buying, so it's not me who is disrespecting the monks. Maybe part of the reason they do that is to comply with distribution and labeling laws and they don't really care. Hey, who are those monks to go putting additional legalistic criteria on that which God has provided?

While of course there are no legal ramifications for doing so, I do feel that it's a little disrespectful to be selling their beer on the internet.<br /><br />In the interest of full disclosure, however, I have had it - in Canada. We got a bottle at a Belgian B&B in Quebec City over lunch. I won't be getting it again unless I'm at the abbey, since I felt guilty enough for disrespecting the monks' wishes. What is it about religion and guilt?!! ;)KC Wort Hoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228288621844279758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631050128865202896.post-46402438659252689452009-07-29T12:26:29.587-05:002009-07-29T12:26:29.587-05:00You can usually get Westy 12 from www.belgianshop....You can usually get Westy 12 from www.belgianshop.com and/or ebay (from reputable beer sellers, of course.) Sure, price/shipping is comparatively high in the beer market but if you're a geek it is a necessary splurge and the price is NOTHING compared to what you would pay for highly rated and rare wine. And i do think it is the best but have noticed some variance in quality, probably due to conditions during shipping and age.<br /><br />Thanks for the link, interesting stuff. BeerAdvocate rules for forum activity/community but when it comes to ratings i always go to ratebeer first- more ratings from a wider perspective (BA is very US-centric) trumps, in my opinion.markbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941261293676565360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631050128865202896.post-89600473922786619812009-07-29T09:53:49.743-05:002009-07-29T09:53:49.743-05:00Here's where I'm dissapointed in you for b...Here's where I'm dissapointed in you for being such a Free State fan. :) Free State Owd Macs Imperial Stout is on the top 50 list for ratebeer! How is that even possible? It seems easier for US to get West 12 in a bottle than it is to get a growler from Lawerence Kansas!!!KC Hop Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839287295547843301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631050128865202896.post-83729644231073782272009-07-29T08:26:33.156-05:002009-07-29T08:26:33.156-05:00And the KC beer blogosphere suddenly got more crow...And the KC beer blogosphere suddenly got more crowded. ;-DKC Wort Hoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228288621844279758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631050128865202896.post-74725957386409848862009-07-29T08:05:34.786-05:002009-07-29T08:05:34.786-05:00Are you serious?
