Somebody must convince the Monks to increase production!

Monks run out of the world's best beer (Reuters)

A survey of thousands of beer enthusiasts from 65 countries on the RateBeer Web site (www.ratebeer.com) in June rated the Westvleteren 12 beer as the world's best.

But the abbey only has a limited brewing capacity, and was not able to cope with the beer's sudden popularity.

"Our shop is closed because all our beer has been sold out," said a message on the abbey's answering machine, which it calls the "beer phone." And the abbey has no intention of boosting its capacity to satisfy market demand.

Honestly, I applaud the monks for sticking to their guns and not succumbing to public pressure. You have to admire convictions like that. Of course, they're monks, so it is expected - but it is still nice to see.
