Paters angry about beer stunt Dutch super

The Dutch supermarket chain Jan Linders got the anger of the fathers of the Saint Sixtus Abbey in the Belgian Westvleteren.

This is what the Belgian countryman De Standaard reports. Supermarket Jan Linders offered Thursday 300 crates or 7. 200 bottles of beer from Westvleteren for 9.95 euros for sale. This to the dissatisfaction of the friars who want to keep the production small and only want to sell the beer in the abbey itself.

'We are very unhappy with this,' said Brother Godfried. 'It can not be otherwise that Dutch people have come here with 150 cars. Not to mention their extortionate prices: with us a bottle costs 2.5 euros each. '

Customers who want to enjoy the barley can buy a maximum of two crates and have to promise that they will not resell the bottles.
