UPDATE: Locations where the beer was sold this morning (but probably no longer available in most cases).

It’s the big day. Though some boxes of Westvleteren XII have been sold before now in other countries and in some stores in the U.S., Wednesday morning is the official nationwide release for the majority of stores carrying the beer. Tweets are pouring in from people lining up. A sampling below…
