I agree....good, but not great. A bit thin....but I wouldn't turn one down, and I still look forward to the 5 or so bottles I have in the basement.

Bellwoods has Westy 12 available for $30 taxes included. For those who missed out it's going to be popping up around town (Burger Bar tweeted a large stack) so you'll be able to try it quite easily. The Only is going to have some out as of Tuesday I hear. They got their hands on quite a bit of it a...

Would love to know how busy they are...been avoiding the place because of the lineups, but maybe now that the hip-factor has died a bit it might be easier to check out? I'm guessing the tacos at Cask Days (which were OK, not great) weren't a decent representation of the food at the restaurant!

I'm missing something - is there something embedded in the text about Westy?

The only thing I see on Kijiji is people offering the glasses and boxes.
No! Sorry! I did a Google search on the phone number and an old ad for tutoring came up (same person).

Kijiji sellers have become more clever over the past 12 hours....they're now listing the glasses and box with a "contact me if you are interested in Westvleteren products". I reported them anyway, though not sure it will do much good. This one in particular is an 'accountant' who is obviou...

Me too! Just got it activated today by harassing Cass.... This is my first post, but glad I can finally be a part of the conversations on here (beyond the Westy thread!).
