According to the WI website, they can be reached at 314-231-5060. I'd give 'em a call and let them tell you where you can find it. Cheers!

Those big 750ml bottles are the best, because unlike many other types of beverages, you have an excuse to drink the entire thing yourself and not look like an alcoholic...but little do they know... ;) The date of the site itself is just incredible. To be brewing beer in a place who's history (one way or another) goes back so long is just incredible. Just to think of working there, knowing all the history behind the place and what people where doing there before you as they went about their daily lives is just extremely interesting to me. By let us know I simply meant let all us blog followers and readers know :). I don't work or rep. for Kasteel, but yes...I am...very much smitten ;) Do you have easy access to the entire Kasteel line where you're at? What have you and have you not tried yet from their line up? Always a pleasure, Ilya Yep!

Yup, I had a 750ml corked bottle and felt downright celebratory when all was said and done. The current building "only" dates back to 1736, but lots of good history there to be sure. When you say, "Let us know," who we talking about? Do you rep for Kasteel in some way, or are you just smitten with it? In any case, I'll happily work my way through the entire line as I run across the beers! Thanks, Ilya. Yup, I had a 750ml corked bottle and felt downright celebratory when all was said and done.

And really, this is about communication, discussion and passion... I love the detail you put in with the brewery itself. The history to be exact. I haven't had a chance to visit them, but I'm worried that I might show a bit too much obsession when there ;). I knew that they were an old brewery dating back well into the middle ages, but had no idea that the building itself dating back that far! Can you imagine that...seriously think about it for a moment...640!!!! 640 AD!!! What that building has seen in it's time is just mind boggling. I'm assuming that this Kasteel also come in the typical 750ml Champagne looking bottle ya? If so, yes that 8% will hit nicely once nearing the end ;). The responsible thing of me would be to recommend that you stay away from the fire works during this time...but since I would be reaching my hand in for the lighter and something that goes boom...I can't do that with a clear mind. ;) Kasteel has thankfully become easier and easier to find here in the states and the bigger cities especially. I remember back even in 2000ish coming by them was a difficult task and being in Dallas, I had to order them from a cousin in NY at the time. Happy Kasteel drinking! And keep trying the entire line that they have! Let us know! Tom,
