Sadly, after googling and looking all over, the only place to buy it is Switzerland.  There is no one who imports (at least from what you can tell).  I have emailed a couple places to see.

If anyone finds out where this can be purchased in the U.S., I’ll be eternally grateful.

The promo for the beer is wonderful

It’s probably bitter, and leaves a bad aftertaste. wink

Should be no problem to get this over here.  Tell the owner of the local football team that his club is predestined to win if they sell the beer, and it will be on sale at the stadium by next Sunday.  (And what do good Calvinists think about that, I wonder?)

Nothing like a bottle of Ould Thumper to do your head in.

Looks like a bottle of soy sauce to me.

Mildly depraved.

Totally Iresistable!

If you are meant to have it, then have it you will. Your ability to drink the beer is predestined.

Found it at http://www.leshop.ch/leshop/Main.do?rnd=0.8766877707182016#/uk but I think they only deliver to addresses in Switzerland.

Better yet- here’s the order form. Caution- it’s $5.50/ bottle before shipping from Singapore. http://www.swissbeers.com/order.html
I love the tag line on the bottom of the page- Beer is God’s way to tell you He loves you!

Name it and claim it!

It’ll depend on whether you are predestined to buy the beer.
