Finally, after years of anticipation, I have tasted what is nearly universally considered to be the most outstanding beer in the world, hailing from the tiny brewery located in the abbey of St. Sixtus in the small town of Westvleteren, Belgium: Westvleteren 12.
Infinitely complex and yet supremely balanced, I have to say that this is, without a doubt, the best beer I have ever tasted. I received this beer along with its cousins the Westvleterens 6 and 8 for my birthday 3 weeks ago and was saving the best, the 12, to celebrate the birth of my daughter. It was, indeed, well worth the wait.

I was always partial to Coors Light because it's cheap and it always seems to be on hand. Do you know how often a keg of Coors Light just pops up?

Congrats for finding the Holy Grail of beers. Also don't drink your beer around your baby daughter: when I was a baby I always reached for my dad's beer, and I've heard that happens with a lot of babies.
Indeed, that is a fine beer. Incidentally, it's rather hard to get a hold of in Belgium as well. Since the title of 'best beer', the monks have been so overwhelmed they now only provide one crate (24 bottles) per person per month. Also, you have to drive there and pick it up. That said, it's very much worth it indeed!
I'd love to visit the abbey at some point in my life. That would be the highlight of what would be a great beer tour around the most-revered beer producing country in the world. Coincidently, I had to order these bottles straight from Belgium which, after factoring in shipping, were around $35 a-piece for the Westvleterens

You are man of discerning taste, steely self control and vast sentimentality. I salute you for saving such a rare experience for the celebration of another which eclipses all others.
Huzzah!

It'd be great to have another beer of similar quality to celebrate both my wife's birthday today and our first full day in our new house, but alas, our city does not currently allow Sunday liquor sales. I think there are a few outlying suburbs that do, so I might have to take a short road trip after work today...

I trust your taste. To this day, my favorite beer is Sammy Smith Oatmeal Stout, but I'm sure it pales in compairison.
As for the Smith's, it's one of if not the best of its kind, but I'd take a good Trappist ale over an oatmeal stout 9 times out of 10. I'd suggest BelgianShop.com. They have an outstanding selection and very reasonable prices (though shipping is a bit high).
Huzzah!
