Westvleteren Brewery

Westvleteren Brewery, located in Belgium’s West Flanders, is a small, traditional Trappist brewery renowned for producing highly sought-after, high-quality beers. Operated by monks of the Saint Sixtus Abbey, it adheres to strict standards, meaning its beers are crafted with dedication and care, often in limited quantities. Their flagship, Westvleteren 12, is celebrated worldwide for its rich flavor and complexity, often considered one of the best beers. The brewery emphasizes craftsmanship over commercial success, and visiting or purchasing the beers typically requires patience due to their limited availability.
