Westvleteren (Dutch: Brouwerij Westvleteren) is a brewery founded in 1838 at the Trappist Abbey of Saint Sixtus in Vleteren, Belgium.
The brewery's three beers have acquired an international reputation for taste and quality; Westvleteren 12 is considered by some to be the best beer in the world.[1] The beers are not brewed to commercial demands but are sold in small quantities weekly from the doors of the monastery itself, to individual buyers on an advance-order basis.
