TOPIC:

Happened to find myself in Supervalu, Aston Quay, the other evening. Good beer selection and some surprising new additions to the 75cl range they carry of Leffe/Duvel/Chimay/La Trappe. These were as follows: Fin du Monde (9%), Trois Pistoles (9%), Maudite (8%) and Blanche de Bruxelles (4.5%).The first three come from Canada, brewed and bottled by Unibroue in Chambly, Quebec. The last one is a wit beer from Brouerie Lefebvre in Brussels.

The Canadian ones are priced at €5.99 and the Belgian at €4.99. Excellent prices, I think, considering the alc content, but what are the beers like? Will buy some next time I'm passing as can't go wrong at that price!

I was pleasantly surprised to see this on Saturday. I bought myself Unibroue's La Fin Du Monde and was really impressed by the quality. I've tasted few enough Belgian beers to rival it. I also had Blanche De Bruxelles. Wits aren't my favourite style but I found this very pleasant. Great stuff altogether

They were also carrying a few fruit beers from Lefebvre, which I wouldn't be too interested in. Overall it's a really encoragiung development.

Had a load of Unibroue beer on my honeymoon in Canada last year, great beers <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
