Unibroue will cease exports temporarily (read: years) while they improve their brewery capacity after 2009 to focus on supplying the domestic market :/ La fin du monde is my fave belgian strong ale.

You're probably not "missing out" on the Fuller's ESB, but it's certainly worth a try one day...
Unibroue has some pretty great beers. I guess that's one plus for living in Canada! If you stumble across upon of their anniversary concotions like "16" or "17," snap it up!!Comment

Aren't you in the US? Domestic market for Unibroue is North America. It's the Aussies and etc who get screwed out of their delicious beer (although I rather have a trappist product than trois pistoles or maudite, nothing I've tried comes close to LFDM)Last edited by stereophobic; 10-16-2009, 02:14 AM.An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.Comment

Maybe I'll try a trappist. I always see the trappist dubbel, then the tripel right next to it. I think "all men play on ten" dubbels are for wusses... I go to grab the tripel and begin imagining rubbing alcohol + motor oil, Wildcat Strong, or malt liquor... then move along to the next item.Originally posted by stereophobic View Post
As far as "domestic market" weirdness goes... run-of-the-mill Alexander Keith's is brewed on the east coast of Canada, yet in its considered an import in Western Canada?Comment

I consider the Rochefort 10 my fave beer.

I must try this. I'm a big fan of Hoegaarden for a lighter beer.Originally posted by Faust View PostCurrently enjoying. Good, but not as good as Hoegaarden.
I have to say a pint of the black stuff is still my usual first choice. (Guinness)Comment

In the US at least, Guinness is pretty undistinguished. The 250th anniversary stuff is a touch more interesting, but still skippable. I assume it's better closer to Ireland.Originally posted by mw000 View PostHobo: We all dress up.

Never heard of that Faust. Likewise, I'm a big fan of Hoegaarden (plus an orange slice) so I'll look out for this one.
Currently enjoying a couple of Erdingers in my new apartment ... I really should help my girlfriend unpack but I'm stuck on the sofa feeling slightly buzzed, listening to some Samon Kawamura. I'm sure I'm making a good impression!once you get off the drugs and the alcohol, that's when you realise how dark you really areComment

I've tried Bluemoon - it took Hoe's place for a minute, but I went back to her shortly after.

The USA is generally all about BUD, Miller Light, and for a touch of class Bud Light with Lime
Looking at Le Merle, It is making me think of this beer that I had that had a slight champagne feel to it.
I can't recall the name and it is really bothering me now
Another beer I quite enjoy is GrolschComment
