Highly recommend! It has such a distinct taste. Also 750ml 9% bottles are usually around $5, which is a good deal considering the alcohol content. Don De Dieu is also wicked. Anyone know where I can find all the varieties?

Willow Park has a few different ones, not sure if they have them all though.

What no corona? Finally some people that look for different beers

[saiyajin]

beyond liquor has alot of them.. should check them out

I do find myself enjoying Calgary's Wild Rose microbrewary beers...

They have some pretty good brews.

Corona is piss water and is only drunk by highschool kids who think they are too good for Molson Canadian.




La Fin Du Monde, Maudite and the others have been around for quite some time. However, I find that in Alberta, with no government liquor stores, variety here is lacking.

unibroue has some fine beers, and you are right, they are a great deal for such high quality.
I enjoy the Blanche de Chambly and Trios Pistoles.

Wildrose beer FTW soooo good.

Any of those unibroue beers are awesome I used to drink it all the time when visiting family in Quebec. They do serve it at Open Sesame I believe. Either way lot's of liquor stores carry it.

I've tried Trois Pistoles, Maudite, Fin du Monde and Don de Dieu. I also love the wild rose beers, although the price is slightly high. Wraspberry and Velvet Fog

What is this beyond liquor? Don't tell me beyond.ca has an online liquorstore

All the Unibroue beers are generally quite good.
I actually even like the Ephemere, despite my typically strong opposition and general distaste for fruit flavoured beers.

Not many domestically available beers with as varied a flavour as those offered by Unibroue. Some of the imports have the same crisp, sharply carbonated taste, but most tend to stay fairly close to the Reinheitsgebot, and as a result, don't have anywhere near the complexity that these beers offer.

Personally, while I do like to buy Unibroue occasionally (Trois Pistoles or Blanche de Chambly, usually) they aren't something that I'd drink on a terribly regular basis. While good, there's just a little too much going on there for a "daily beer". plus, those variety packs they sell sneak up on you. Before you know it, 2 hours slip by, you've had 12 beer (most of which are 9%) and you're drunker than you should be at 2:30 on Saturday afternoon.

Ephemere is really good and if I'm not mistaken I think they brew different kinds seasonally or else Open Sesame has a different seasonally either one hehe. I have tried them all and like them all. Good strong beer that would make most americans puke I bet.

I have been enjoying uni's brews for years, one of my favorites!

Co-oP liquor stores usually carry the full lineup

For another good, complex beer, you should check out Innis and Gunn. It's oak aged, and that imparts a very unique taste to it.

[ekguy]

Innis and Gunn is disgusting. I had a few and thats all I could stand. Some people might like it though. But ewww....

[TKRIS]

FWIW: The Americans that some of you look upon with distain are making most of the world's best beers these days.
You can't judge American beer by Budweiser unless you judge Canadian beer by Labatt Blue (both are fucking horrible).

Innis and Gunn is good beer, but IMHO a bit expensive for what it is (at least in the places I've found it).
If you like I&G, try Flying Dog's "Road Dog Porter". Completely different type of beer, but I'm betting if you like one, you'll like the other.

they have EVERY variety from this brewery.

... plus so many others that I had no idea existed. Quite the place if you want to find "hard to find" beers.


You should head over to Brewsters and try out a sampler tray. I absolutely love some of the beers there, that "Rivercity raseberry" (spelling )

Also; this blue berry ale is just amazing. They have off-sales too

1 liter schooner of those beers are just $9, so it makes quite the watering hole for me.

i like hoe-garden(sp?)
