Return to Westvleteren

On a warm early summer day in Flanders, something extraordinary occurred. The cloistered monks at Westvleteren, who produce three legendary beers and who are famously reclusive, called a press conference. Something big was brewing.

Host Nate Cairney was fortunate enough to be invited to the press conference. Join him for a rare treat as Belgian Beer Quest enters the gates of the famous Westvleteren abbey. Along the way, you’ll learn more about Westvleteren’s big announcement and hear about a day when a simple Trappist monk was treated like a rock star.
