My good friend in Germany sent me a nice little care package straight from the monks at St. Sixtus. Great way to kick off my Memorial Day weekend with some Westy 12, 8 and blonde. He even sent a commemorative Westy glass, coaster and some kind of map to the monastery which I of course can’t understand. Very cool.

Wow! That’s a pretty awesome present. Did you drink it straightaway or did it make it to the cellar?

Let’s schedule a tasting date… I brought the better part of a case back =) and would love to get your thoughts/comments. Liza and I have some ideas, but always like to hear more opinions on it.
Note to readers: better to have a friend in Belgium because Westvleteren is in the middle of no where.

8 hour drive, right? I’m more than grateful. Let’s definitely set something up soon. I can bring some great stuff too, Dark Lord, etc.

Where do people keep finding friends like these? This is a whole new level of a good friend. Cheers! I mean it sincerely and jealously all at once.
