I've never been, but until recently it was said that you could only get their beer at their monastery… However, a few weeeks ago they exported a very limited amount here to the US (not every state got it and even if a state did, it was limited to a select few liquor stores) to pay for a new roof. 4 bottle packs were ~$80 (USD) and sold out instantly, at least here in Boulder, CO. A store got it right down the street from me, but a line formed prior to the liquor store opening and as I was late to the party I missed out.
