An Easter treat from De Struise Brouwers

If you follow the beer world closely then the chances are you've come across the beer rating websites RateBeer and BeerAdvocate. While rare beers such as the famous Westvleteren 12 -- a beer only available in small quantities direct from the 'Trappist Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren' -- often recieve a somewhat exadurated aclaim, there is no denying that De Struise Brouwers accolades in 2012 are mightly imperssive: 10 places in RateBeer's 50 best beers of Belgium and the #9 best brewery in the world. An imperssive haul for any brewery.
