While the monks at St. Sixtus Abbey sell only enough Westvle- teren beer to support themselves and the abbey, a current renova- tion project has prompted the monks to sell a limited amount of their beer outside the abbey to raise money for the project. A special six-pack of the beer with two Westvleteren glasses was sold in Belgium and will be sold in the U.S. sometime later this year, according to Ryan Wil- liams, a spokesman for the Shelton Brothers importers. In order to try to keep any profits from the sales going to the monks, it will probably be priced at about $85 a six-pack, he said. It should be available in the Bay Area, but details have not been worked out. The Almanac will try to post details as they become available. And if you really can’t wait, the special six-pack and glasses are available on eBay from a British seller asking $213 plus $95 postage. — Barbara Wood SECTION A special section on travel and adventure by local people. ■ February 15, 2012 A LSO INSIDE R EAL E STATE 23 | C LASSIFIEDS 29 2 February 15, 2012 The Almanac 21 Belgian chocolate, Belgian French fries, picturesque cities on canals and rolling green countryside also lured us.

Belgian chocolate, Belgian French fries, picturesque cities on canals and rolling green countryside also lured us. We planned the trip, however, around the Westvleteren beer.

here was one thing my husband, 25-year-old daughter and

I agreed we wanted to do on a recent trip to Europe — visit

Belgium to try Westvleteren beer, which has been described

by several sources as the best beer in the world.

prised to be able to park right at the entrance. Once there, we quickly discovered why — it was closed. All week. Not one of us cried, but we all felt like it. I later discov-ered, deep in the guest center’s website, that the closure was planned, as it was a school holi-day week in Belgium. We consoled ourselves by tak-ing another hike through the countryside, where we discov-ered another B&B, Pahilleke, only a few minutes walk from the St. Sixtus vistitors’ center. Pahilleke serves dinners based on local foodstuffs and has rates even more reasonable than those at Het Brouwershuis. We then tried to get lunch in a pub in the nearby town of Vleteren only to discover lunch service had ended. The bartender suggested a nearby bakery for sandwiches to bring back to the pub, which we hap-pily did. We had trappist beer with our sandwiches, just not Westvleteren Trappist beer. That night we crossed into

Godewaersvelde, France (pain-less in these European Union days) and had another wonder-ful dinner at Het Blauwershof, a Flemish pub and restaurant packed with noisy, cheerful diners. After several trips to Europe, we’ve found that order-ing the set price menu at a res-taurant is a good idea, and here it even included a local beer bottled just for the restaurant. Without the chance to try the Westvleteren beer, we decided to cut our planned visit a day short and left the next morning. Caitlin wanted to meet Katrien and visit the Ghent flea market. Katrien showed us the high-lights of Ghent. But what will endear her to us forever was her response when we told her, sadly, that the Westvleteren visitor center was closed. Ah, Katrien said, but she had a four-pack of Westvle-teren beer in her apartment. It seems her father, who grew up in that part of Belgium, also appreciates the monks’ beer and visits as often as he can. Sometimes the visitor’s center sells four-packs to go, and he

had brought Katrien one after a recent visit. We begged Katrien to sell us the beer, but she not only insisted on giving it to us, but had a friend deliver it to us in Ghent’s center. We celebrated over yet another not Westv-leteren, but still pretty good, trappist beer. The four precious Westvle-teren beers went back to the Netherlands with us. One eve-ning, when Caitlin was off at her Dutch language class, we shared two of the beers with our host. The next night we shared the other two with Caitlin. Since I haven’t tried every beer in the world, I can’t say if the Westvleteren is the best. It was, however, good enough that I wouldn’t mind going back for another visit when we’re sure the visitor’s center is open. In fact, just writing about it is making me thirsty. A
