It seems Christmas came early this year for beer connoisseurs in the U.S. The holiday came with a price tag of $85 a six pack - which 150,000 folks eagerly paid.
The beer, brewed by monks in Belgium, and known as Westvleteren XII - or Westy 12 for short- is the type of thing that folks stand in line overnight for.
It seems the robed brew masters needed a new roof for their Abby so the decided to share their god-given talents with the U.S. via a limited release of the hoppy delight.
I'm all for supporting a good cause, and I appreciate a good brew as much as the next guy; but it strikes me as more than a little odd that monks are repairing a house of god by offering a product that has folks camping out in front of liquor stores.
Now if the beer came with the holy grail........
