Westvleteren only sell direct, at the door of the monastery. You can
have a mximum of two cases, and that's it (unless things have changed

Plenty of pubs in Belgium (and distributors too, it seems) make the
trip on a regular basis, so the beer is reasonably widely available.
I've certainly never had any problem finding it in Antwerp, for
instance.
