    Just finishing my 1st Fin du Monde. Tripels are not my fav, but this is a nice beer.

    Agree with all the previous statements regarding La Fin du Monde, one of my favorites from them, also enjoy Maudite. I have two bottles of the Grande Reserve in my cellar and I'm really looking forward to trying them. I think Unibroue does a fabulous job of brewing good Belgian Ales.

    Agree. My favorite beer with a nice mild fish dinner.

    This is what I love about hobbies where personal preference is at play, one of the top ten beers I've ever tasted and you find it gross.

    I have a bottle of GR 17 in my fridge and am waiting to pop it at a tasting...the description is awesome in and of itself. Unibroue has incredible beer...Trois Pistoles and La Fin Du Monde being my faves. And it's fairly priced in contrast to the Belgians. Home run beers, period

    Unibroue was bought by Sleemans who was bought by Sapporo. Amazingly, despite the consolidation, they continue to produce unique and astounding beers. All of their beers range from "good" to "amazing". What is really encouraging is that it hasnt changed a bit since they started. I love Unibroue and I will unabashedly buy anything they produce.

    I have been aging a bottle of each of those since 2005 - just interested to see how it is with close to 8 years of age on it. I know that they are super solid when fresh.

    Yep, they have a whole marketing campaign on it!

    Don de Dieu will always be my favorite of theirs. The thing with their beers is their yeast strain is very prominent and makes a lot of their beers taste similar. Still good but not as good as they used to be.

    That being said, i'm looking forward to trying their re-release of La Fringante, last brewed in 2004.

    Just drank a Maudite last night (I've had had before), which may be my favorite. Like La Fin, Don, Trois, I enjoy Unibroue very much. Need to try some of their other beers as well.

    Amazing beers. My favorite brewery since I don't have access to most USA market, except for year-round beers from Founders, AValley, Brooklin, etc.

    Maudite is one of the best beers I ever had and I drink a lot of belgium beers.

    I work with a Canadian who raved about Unibroue. Currently have not had one yet but have a bottle of La Fin Du Monde & Maudite in the fridge. Saving the La Fin Du Monde for a certain day... lol!

    I'm hot and cold with Unibroue. Will get on a La Fin & Trois Pistoles kick for a while and then step away for a few months.

    Don't care for 'em. They're a lame Canadian version of real Belgians.

    Unibroue is directly responsible for my love of Belgian style brews.

    They have a certain unique flavor I want to say from the yeast, but some solid brews all around

    They were one of the first breweries I tried when I broke into craft beer. Still make quality stuff. I think because I know I can get their offerings so easy I don't appreciate it as much as I should.

    Top notch. Haven't had anything less than great from them, although I've avoided Ephemere so far. Not sure if that qualifies as a beer.
