but it's just pilsner? i'm sure it's good lager, but best beer in the world?
ratebeer.com says otherwise
no pilsner in that list
it's like comparing 2 bucks a bottle vino with some kind of upscale really expensive limited availability special cuvee

considering Belgium is so small, and as such has less voters that can influence the vote just by volume and subjective voting..
i say we did pretty good 3 beers in the top 10 worldwide
6 in the top 20
15 in the top 100
the top brewer world wide... Struise , is just 10 miles from my home
Westvleteren only a couple of miles further...
the general feeling in my town is , that we don't mind West Vleteren going down a place in the list, because the waiting lines to be able to buy abt 12 were getting to long... because of all the hoopla it was getting , and the monks weren't producing more despite of it... i Guess the difficulty to even get Abt 12 doesn't help getting votes.. seriously , it's even difficult for us near the brewery to get our hands on it... you gotta call a special number, on a specific day and time, then hope the line isn't too busy, give your details, and then if you're lucky , you'll get a call back with a time and date when you can go pick up one crate...
