It was formed in 1838 inside the [[Trappist]] [[Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren]] in the Belgian municipality of [[Vleteren]]. The brewery and its beers are usually called ''Westvleteren''. The brewery's three beers have an international reputation for taste and quality. They also have a limited availability. In 1931, the abbey began selling beer to the general public. Before, they only served beer to guests and visitors.<ref name=celebrator>{{cite web |last=Cook |first=Chuck |url=http://www.celebrator.com/archives/0504/0504inter-westvleteren.html |title=Trappist Westvleteren |publisher=Celebrator |date=April–May 2005 |accessdate=2011-04-19 |archive-date=2017-01-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170121101230/http://celebrator.com/archives/0504/0504inter-westvleteren.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> It is the only Trappist brewery where the monks still do all of the brewing. Of the 26 Cistercians who live in the abbey, five monks run the brewery, with an additional five who assist during bottling (putting the beer in bottles).<ref name=celebrator/><ref name=castle>{{cite web |last=Castle |first=Stephen |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/monks-who-make-worlds-best-beer-pray-for-quiet-life-502172.html |title=Monks who make world's best beer pray for
