There is a store in las vegas, some on the east coast, etc. Hoping someone knows a good source in texas. Fri May 22 14:06:41 -0700 2009 4707392 322083 thirstyguy22 3 4733486 Do you know the name of the store in Vegas? I live there but have never seen it in any store. There IS a bar here (The Freakin' Frog) which has it but they get something like $75 for a single bottle. Fantastic brew but I'm not going to drop that kind of coin on a bottle of beer. I was lucky enough to go to Westvleteren last year and bring some of the beer back home, but even though I only drink it on special occasions my supply is almost exhausted and I won't be going to Belgium for a while. So if you know of a store here in Vegas that carries it I'd be most grateful for the name. Thanks and take care - John Mon Jun 01 14:43:30 -0700 2009 4707411 185685 Whisper 1 4719450 The owner of Gezellig (bar in Lowest Greenville) pretends like he has it on the menu there, but when you ask for it he will tell you that he "knows a guy in Belgium" and "can get some for you" but it never happens and I stopped trying after about four unsuccessful visits. No other bar in the area has ever even uttered the name of that beer. So unless you find some great connection, I'm afraid you're going to need to make a pilgrimage.

I am interested in purchasing some (unopened) for a client but I am not convinced the online sources are reliable.
