I am glad to finally see one of the best Belgian beers, possibly the best
one, available here, even if it's hard to find. What is a bit unsettling
is the price, as quoted below:

>I picked up Rochefort 10 up at Rick's Wine and Gourmet 703 823 4600
>Call and see if they still have some. It is $5.99 for 33cl (11.2 oz)

I just brough a few (well, quite a few...) back from France this past
week. They were retailing for under 15 Francs a piece, which is just
under $3; and that in a country where sales taxes (included in this
price) are around 18%. I have a hard time believing that the
difference can be attributed solely to shipping costs and import
duties and would be curious to see what the profit margin is on that
beer.
Another beer I wouldn't mind seeing here is the big brother of the St.
Sixtus already available, the St. Bernardus Abt. It's among the most
massive Belgians I have had.
Cheers,
Francois.
