Our story started with a dream - visionary Andre Dion's dream. His mission was to conquer the hearts, and above all the palates, of Quebecers. He sought to market top notch gourmet beers that stand out as much for their unique taste as for their brewing method. Belgian-inspired beers refermented in the bottle: unheard of in their country of origin! He secretly even managed to convince himself that his future brewery will be the heart of a brewing revolution that will change our perception of beer forever. And now his little secret has quickly become legendary.
In 1992, Unibroue made history with the launch of Blanche de Chambly. It was the first white beer in North America brewed in the Belgian tradition and refermented in the bottle. After 18 months of R&D, Unibroue launched a beer inspired by Belgian tripels: La Fin du Monde. It is now the most awarded Canadian beer with some sixty international accolades. It is the most iconic brew of our brewery, and the standard bearer of Quebec brewing know-how around the world.
As we approach our 30th anniversary, we are a long way from writing our last chapter. We're like a legend: we grow and evolve over the years along with our audience. Unibroue, brewer of legends. That reputation suits us perfectly!
