My issue with Esprit is that I have never received an email or phonecall back on anything from them in over 2 years, and this is not coming from someone tire-kicking on a case of Rochefort - this is speaking as someone who has had money ready to go every time I have asked.

For what it's worth I don't have anything personally against Peter and kind of miss his posts here. I just ask for the courtesy of a response, even if it's a "I don't have anything in stock right now".

I've ordered beers from both R&R and Esprit on numerous occasions.

Never had issues with either. Although neither is as proactive as they each were a couple of years back.

Did anyone else get the email from Peter saying that about 1/3 of the orders will be filled? He did say there is some Westy 8 available, is there anyone planning on buying a case?

Yeah, I received the email as well. It was probably sent out to his entire mailing list or the group of individuals who ordered the 12. If you got your name in early enough you shouldn't have a problem. I've still got a few of the 8 so I won't be getting another case of it anytime soon. Much prefer the Prior 8.
