I just want to drink good beer. I actually appreciate the fact that it can be ordered online. I say let the guy continue. I sleep better at night knowing I can order a couple of Westvleteren 12 beers from the web. Just my 1wo cents. Roy I am a beer guy. I just want to drink good beer.

First off, he shouldn't be selling that beer for his own profit, that is 100% the opposite of what the Trappist community is all about. Second, if he is claiming he had the site as  \Fan Site\ that is total BS, it was set up to make a profit and that is it. Also, I emailed him about the crates he was selling and he replied to me that he is NOT selling the crates on their own but that is the additional cost to have the crate if you buy a case. If you want Westvleteren got to Belgium, do NOT buy it online. If you can't get to Belgium go buy some St. Bernardus 12. Just my opinion on that whole thing.

It only seems to be offering a wooden crate so perhaps his source dried up and that is why the site is for sale? Well I am disappointed that I can not order the beer from the site.
