This is by far the most amazing and unique beer you can ever taste.

Its a lovely beer. If anyone is going to Brussels but cant go to the abbey I will tell you where you can try it if you can show good edits to Belgian beer articles first. Justinc 23:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Do I qualify? :) Riflemann 12:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And I would tell you if you show bad edits to those articles :)Julien Tuerlinckx 18:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can we destub this? It's fairly in depth already. Riflemann 12:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done.Julien Tuerlinckx 18:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article

I'm going to also propose we rename the article completely. Instead of Westvleteren, the article title should be Abbey of St Sixtus of Westvleteren, as that is the official name of the place. The brewery itself is just known as the Brewery of the Abbey of... as it's not a separate entity. This also goes inline with the defacto article title convention of the other trappist brewery articles. I'll also be making gfdl pictures of the beers soon - I was in Belgium on the weekend and managed to acquire two 6's, an 8, a glass and entire crate of the 12!

It was on my 'to do' list :) Julien Tuerlinckx 22:42, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the brewery is somewhat unclear, as there is no separate name for it. Perhaps it should be Brouwerij Sint Sixtus Abdij van Westvleteren, which would accurately reflect the monastery's own web site? The title should at least be Flemish though as that's what's used for the other breweries. If we can get a consensus on the name, then we can move it. Riflemann 20:49, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the article should be consistent with other brewery articles. It should also, following Wiki convention, be in English (Brewery not Brouwerij) and be in the form by which most people would know it (Westvleteren Brewery). Alternative titles by which people may search for the article should be created then redirected here. There are a variety of alternatives - St Sixtus being one of the most popular.

Content Question

I have some pictures from my visit there. One is of the outside of Saint Sixtus and one is of the interior and exterior of the cafe across the street that sells Westvleteren, the Cafe "in de Vrede". Anyone interested in me adding this stuff? If so, I'm going to need a little instruction on how to add pictures. Thanks. Oh, and as for the naming, I also agree that "Westvleteren Brewery" is inaccurate and especially clunky, and I agree with something more along the lines of Riflemann. mwochner

In De Vrede

I have changed In De Vrede being referenced to as an inn to a visitor's centre. The old Inn was unfortunately demolished quite some time ago and replaced by a big brick building. There is still a bar and shop plus an exhibition on monastic life. Also capitalized all three words as it is written like that on their website. Bigar 09:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at their web page and it clearly says "In de Vrede" both in the text and in their logo. With a small d is also correct Dutch usage.Patto1ro 07:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

The brewery is great, and article well-written, but it really could use many more in-line references to back up its claims. I'm resisting adding the refneeded template, for now. --Chimino (talk) 22:06, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
