La Fin du Monde — Unibroue

La Fin du Monde from Unibroue shattered expectations: a 9% ABV Belgian-style tripel from Quebec that rivals Trappist originals. Bottle-refermented, it offers layers of spice, fruit, and yeast complexity. In blind tastings, it routinely beats actual Belgian tripels, yet costs a fraction of comparable imports—often 25% less per bottle. It is cheaper than the typical Belgian rival, proving North American brewing can match centuries-old traditions. The beer established Unibroue's reputation and remains a top choice for tripel enthusiasts.
