      I don’t remember Orval being are to find personnally.

      Aren’t you mixing it up with west vleteren ?

      No you are correct, Orval is readily available these days. I remember a time where my local bottle shop had a waiting list. 

      A lot of places do still have a one bak per customer policy (not in supermarkets) and some supermarkets ask a ridiculously high amount, looking at you Delhaize Willebroek: €59/bak!

      Its because of the American import tarrif if I am not mistaken.

      Less sales in the US, more for us!!!

      Congratulations to the guy who buyed one bottle.

      Between 2010 and 2019, they were hard to find in the South part but I had no difficulty finding them in the North part.

      However since 2020, I have no difficulty finding them

      What was amazing was to go south of France early July, have them in quantity, then after the first weekend with all the Belgians arriving, none left to find, leaving me with a combination of national proudness and frustration.

      Er staat ‘vanaf’.
      Dus de prijs zou wel eens kunnen zijn voor zo’n verpakking van 4 flesjes en niet voor een bak.

      It was always super easy to find for a decent price abroad because, yes, they export a lot. So going to Luxemburg or France was the easiest way to get a full crate.

      My favourite beer is available again, one positive outcome of Trump presidency!

      Scary times having to reserve 4 bottles of Orval at the local dealer here because everywhere was sold out.
      Atleast one thing Trump did right is piss off Orval.

      Depends where, used to be that in the Cora in Messancy (near Arlon), you had a mountain of them to pick from, without restrictions.

      Conveniently put on a pallet so you can buy the whole pallet for your emergency kit!

      My colruyt also had an extra stack of them and had diy printed signs of the Orval logo in the store. Which was weird because it was the beer that had that.. so they are def trying to offload some stock..

      Turns out a bunch of them were bittled on my birthday so I got myself a birthday present for the next 12 years
