Did I miss something?

Apparently, I did.  I had seen word of the release of Westvlteren XII today, but didn't know why the release of this beer was such big news.  I do now.  Color me late, color me sheepish.  This is a good blog post about the beer and its unusual release.  Word I've seen is that this is probably already sold out just about everywhere, but it may be worth a look around town anyway.  It looks like it's time to do a tuneup on my beer radar.
