    Don't hear people talk about them much but they're one of my favorite breweries; just got a bottle of Grande Reserve 17 I'm excited about. What does everyone else think of them?

    Excellent beers that I for sure don't buy often enough.

    One of my favorites, you wont be disappointed with that Grand Reserve.

    I just picked up Terrible yesterday, these dudes can do no wrong, so i'm sure it'll be awesome.

    Anyone try Eau Benite? I had to pass this one up the other day...

    Been wanting to get a hold of Terrible but haven't been able to yet. Have had Blanch de Chambly, La Fin du Monde, Ephemere(Apple), Don de Dieu, Maudite, and Trois Pistoles and they were all awesome.

    I really don't care for any of their offerings except for Don De Dieu. One of the best SBPA's available.

    I overlook them alot for a reason I just dont understand. Probably because Ive been on an American tear lately with a select few Belgians thrown in.

    Super solid brewery with great offerings, I think partially they have been in the scene for so long they just don't get a lot of press.

    They're an excellent brewery. The best thing to come out of Canada since Rush. Trois Pistoles is my favorite but everything else they do is awesome too.

    Their yearly Trader Joe's beer is always really good. I remember hearing more about them when I was first getting interested in good beer, but their "buzz" has tapered off the last few years. Still good, solid stuff.

    Just had 2 bottles of La Fin du Monde today. Great beer! I've tasted a couple of their beers. At the same time that they are quite, let say "Belgian", they also carry a quite strong Unibroue character. Their combination of spices is a trademark.
    Cheers from Switzerland!

    They brew a very interesting vintage ale only available through trader joes around the holiday season. I suggest giving the trader joe vintage ale a try.

    Ephemere was ok, the rest I've had are phenomenal. Unibroue is, from what I have had, the most consistent brewery in terms of quality. Not a bad beer in the bunch. My personal fav is Trois Pistoles.

    I must be the pessimist again. With the exception of Trois Pistoles and the Grande Reserve 17, Unibroue makes mediocre (at best) beers. I have yet to figure out what is so special about La Fin du Monde. I think that is as bad as the Left Coast Asylum. If I'm in the mood for non-Belgian, Belgian-style beers, I'm going to stick with Ommegang.

    I thought Trois Pistoles was gross.

    La Fin Du Monde should be popular on Dec 21.
