Westvleteren 8 and 12 now Available

These elusive beer are now available here at Fire Fly Maple Ridge in limited quantities.
These are widely regarded as the best beer in the world by critics and beer geeks.
Brewed by Trappist monks in Belgium at the Abbeyof Sainte Sixtus of Wesvleteren who only
brew enough beer to be able to run the monastery. 

These won't last long.



 "We are not brewers. We are monks. We brew beer to be able to afford being monks.".
