Westvleteren Brewery's Westvleteren XII beer has been launched in the US market on limited basis.
Founded in 1838, the brewery is owned and operated by the Trappist monks of the St Sixus Abbey, Belgium.
The beer, brewed by monks, is usually sold at the abbey of Saint Sixtus in the countryside.
Saint Sixtus or Westvleteren Abdij is home to Trappist Westvleteren Brewery.
The monks have come up with the decision to sell the beer outside Westvleteren Abdij to meet the expenses needed to renovate
