I also really like Schneiders Weisse. They have a good one called Edel-Weisse as well.

I didn’t see your post #16. It may be that it’s not imported now; I haven’t lived in SC since 1998. Call Green’s Beverages in Columbia, SC, at (803) 799-9499 and ask them; that’s where I used to buy it by the case.

It would be a tragedy if it’s not available any more.

I was at Jungle Jim’s last Friday. The beverage manager there (who had the Westvleteren sitting in his storage room, but couldn’t release it until today, as per contractual agreement) told me that it was a four-pack. The picture shown above may not represent what was shipped here.

He asked me if I wanted him to set some aside for me. I told him that for $85, I’d rather have a good Burgundy.

This thread’s bringing on a powerful thirst. Too bad it’s only 2pm here.

Sorry....

I don’t care if I just won the lottery and the beer is brewed with gold dust; I’m NOT paying $85 for a sixpack!!!

I like Schneider also, but I think it's overpriced...most expensive Weizen in our local market at $4.50/bottle. I prefer Weihenstephan, Planck, Paulaner, and Pinkus Muller. I think Pinkus Muller may be the best of what's available here...refreshingly tart and fruity.

Everything Pinkus Muller makes is outstanding...give it a try if you haven't already.

Oh, come on. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere (and 10PM in Spain, so I just poured a glass of Tempranillo...)

It is a one in a lifetime thing, like sky diving....

I know I should be impressed but I look at the 85 dollar price and all I can think of is that I could make 40 gallons for that kind of money.

Am I cheap? Oh you betcha !

Cheers,

You’re sure there are still Trappists in Belgium?

That would be Maisel’s Weisse.

Beats the pants off Trappist brews.

Maisel Weisse? Ugh! You must be kidding! That's a small step above Brauhaus, which was terrible. Falk Weizen, WeihenStephaner, Winkler, or Bruckmuller were a lot better.

BTW- The HEB grocer in San Antonio sells Maisel's from time to time.

Trappist ales are a different kind of brew altogether; in a class by themselves.

Yep! $85 dollars could buy a novice homebrewer a begining set up to brew % gallons of tasty homebrew and do it over and over!

You are never going to homebrew anything near as good as the Trappist Monks.
