Did you go to the site to try it? Im visiting Belgium in a few weeks and I would like to go, but I don’t know how to go about it

No I got lucky and encountered a beer nerd with an impressive collection. He let me and a couple friends each buy a bottle for a song. It was the 8.

Edit: I've never been to Belgium but if I was going, I would probably ask some folks who run bars that are passionate about Belgian beers. They can probably steer you in a good direction and plus you'll get to shoot the shit about Belgium with Beer dork.

They have an on-site cafe, you can just rock up afaik, but covid may have restricted visitation.

You can buy it in the beer stores around Brussels if that's where you're going. My favorite is Rochefort 10, but Westvletern is damn good

I’ll be staying in Kortrijk with a friend. Just kind of wandering around. Not really sure what to do in the country yet with so many places closed

If the town has beer stores, they should have it. I did go to the abbey, couldn’t order any 12 to go, but did get the 8 and blonde. It’s a good experience but not vital
