Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

westveltern seems to be another one being used.grub wrote:yeah, that one doesn't mention "westvleteren", but if you're searching for that, "westy", and "trappist" (as I am) I think you catch 'em all. I've been flagging that one, but i think it takes a certain number of unique flags before it drops.

I especially like this guy who keeps posting on both sites. his ads now contain a note for "flaggers to find a new hobby", which just makes me want to flag him all the more. here's his links:

Yeah, wouldn't even $50/bottle be rather expensive in a restaurant? So you could easily get a 6 pack for $300 (plus tax and minus glasses). I think some people just know "this is super rare and it's the best beer in TEH WORULD!", so they must think $650 is reasonable. Or something.JeffPorter wrote:I don't understand who the people are that are buying these beers creeping towards $1000!
Perhaps they have never heard of air travel. It's actually possible to buy this beer in Europe, I have heard.JeffPorter wrote:I don't understand who the people are that are buying these beers creeping towards $1000!
I expect the interest over this beer based purely on hype and rarity will wane somewhat. But it's fun to watch.
In Beerum Veritas
It seems this question comes up every few pages. Why oh why?
Again, one of the most hyped beers in the world. One of the most rare beers in the world with the hype. The US got almost no product compared to Canada. Many people will buy rather than pay to fly and go get it. Simple economics here. Move on.
