Succumbing to the Hype! (or why I paid $76 bucks for a 6 pack)

This past Friday morning (Dec. 14) something interesting happened. I was sitting at my desk starting my day and then my boss came in and asked if I had heard about the limited release of a super rare Belgian beer. Some call this the world's best beer. I hadn't heard anything about it at all. However, being a person who enjoys the odd beer or two I was intrigued. I quickly looked it up and WOW! people were going crazy for this beer . At this point my boss told me I had to go and put my name on the list at the LCBO to get some. So I did.  A few hours passed and I walked over to the LCBO again, gave them my yellow post it note, with the store info stamped on it. After a couple minutes a gentleman came out with the beer, in a glorious special six pack box, that included 2 cool glasses and asked for my ID and a signature. Just like that I was the proud owner of a Six pack of Westvleteren XII . So did I really need this beer? No. Do I really like this type of beer? Mayb
