Unibroue

The Blanche de Chably Belgian style white ale is definitely very good. Deep spice and citrus was not something I was expecting out of the beer. Had this paired with a very rich duck pasta dish that really actually required the effervescence and lightness to cut through the heavy tones of the entrée. Definitely a reference Belgian to all others made on this side of the world

1 star for visiting the brewery.
5 stars for the beer they produce.
This is far and away my favorite beer. They are unique, delicious and potent! Being such a huge fan of their beer, and being used to the brewery tours south of the border, my wife and I made a trip up to Canada to check it out. First of all they don’t have tours (unless you contact someone ahead of time and have a large group apparently, although I am still unclear who you speak with to do this). They also don’t have a store at the brewery where you might be able to purchase merchandise or rare beers.
If you are in the area, swing by to wave at the brewery and pay homage to the birthplace of its delicious brews, but don’t plan on getting in without some serious preparation.

Unibroue is by far my favorite micro-​brewery. They specialize in Belgian style ales and are sporadically available in the US, but we’ve got it here so that’s what counts.
They were first bought by Sleeman’s of Canada, which in turn was bought by Sapporo of Japan. Luckily, neither have messed with the good thing, aside from perhaps availing the Unibroue brand of their larger distribution connections.
I rated it as a 4-​$ price since a case in the US seems to go for $ 55 and up and I figured cheap (1-​$) would be under $ 20-​$ 25, moderate (2-​$) would be $ 25-​$ 35, expensive (3-​$) would be $ 35-​$ 50 and high-​end (4-​$) would be anything over $ 50 for a 24-​pack. But If I get a bottle or a pint on tap around town here, it’s probably not much more than other (non-​local) micro-​brews that cost significantly less by the case, so that is a highly qualified $$$$ rating.
