THE BUZZ Westvleteren COMES TO THE WEST B This is when Shelton Brotherseer geeks will be drinking in the streets inApril of 2012.will be importing 7,760 gift-style six packs ofWestvleteren XII. Westvleteren XII is a Belgianquad that weighs in at 10.2% and is brewed at Beers are becoming video game releases....over-hyped. the abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren. It is one the most sought-after beers in existence because it is one of the few remaining Trappist beers to be imported to the U.S., due largely to the relatively limited production. Up until recently, the beer was sold exclusively at the abbey store and is only available in the U.S. via the “grey market” (i.e., eBay). No price has been officially released for the six packs. Proceeds will go to a major reconstruction project at the abbey. www.sintsixtus.be BOTTLE OPENER WITH BENEFITS It screws, it pries, and it punches, and if you act now, they’ll throw in the bottle-opener feature too!

While there we picked up a Marionette and on the train ride back had far too much fun making a video of us fooling around with a puppet. Well, we named him Pepe and what we want to do is send Pepe around the country to visit our readers. Want to host Pepe? All you have to do is email DerekB@thebeermag.com and tell us why we should send him to you. While there you are then required to make a video of Pepe and submit it to us. Sounds fun right? Check out our YouTube page (just search BeerMagazine) and watch as Pepe makes a run for the border… and in this case the real border. 08:
