LOL, i get the next batch of Extra 8 crates on the 24th, i'll be sure to write your name on one of them as soon as i payed for it at the abbey.
Next 2 months i'll get crates of Abt 12, one per month, i'll get you one of those as well.

Did the misses taste the Abt 12 ? Or did you defend your glass?

Morning, guys.

Morning Doc,


Stijn, you speak in plural when you talk of crates Westvleteren....
Are you blackmailing one of the monks?? You seem to be getting hold of that beer as easily as I buy cheap beer in the local supermarket...
You can tell us, you got some nudie pics of a monk performing "not so pious" acts??
Keep them pics to yourself, but pass the beer along, will ya... LOL :D:D

Peter, if we could lend some of the Porsche tools from you, that would be great. I have no Westvleteren to offer but the Westmalle Triple is not bad either.... ;)

Morning all.

Moning Dave,

And Morning Sid ( sorry, I didn't see ya there buddy)

Apparently, Vicky likes my driving.... :)

I'm not jealous enough to be even the slightest bit worried about that. :p
She likes my riding as well...

G-man, it's not easy at all
i can order once , per month, not more
to order them , is a battle of will.
dial, redial repeat till you get lucky. the phone line is busier for 12 then for 8

the Extra 8, usually is 2 crates per order max
Abt 12, that's 1 crate per month

so basically i alternate, one month 8, one month 12, since this month it was 3 crates of 8, i'll be able to go for 12 twice in a row.

and here's the kicker, they go so fast, that from the last 4 months, i have not drank one bottle of Westvleteren myself. They all went to collegues, friends, as gifts for weddings and and thank you presents.

So a pic of a not so pious monk would come in handy....


I thought so, it has a reputation of being hard to come by.
Good thing you drink all kinds of alcoholic beverages, or you wouldn't drink at all.... LOL

If you give me that number, I could call for you as well, make your stock a bit bigger so you can drink it yourself too...

can't have others call, they check the number, and the licenceplate on the car.
So unless you plan on driving over there yourself, it's no good.

hehe, 200 kilometers from my door, then another twelve to your place...
Are they open during weekends??
Or I can send my licence plates to you... LOL

they are on saturdays, but you must order in advance.
There is Cafe de VRede, the visitors center where you can drink one of their brews

Morning Ya'll

Morning Rick.

Damn watching the news, looks like Ya'll out west are gonna get hammered.

It's needed, the mud slides are not. I won't be able to rollerblade. There should be a nice layer of white stuff at the higher altitudes as well. :)

Seems like you would get better use out of my truck out there that I do here. (although it would more then likely be illegal there)

can't you put bigfoot wheels on yer rollerblades?

Legal, shmeagle...

It's not about the size of the wheels, it's the fact that the wheels come out from under you as the pavement becomes like oil.
