The award-winning brewery offers a unique
opportunity to discover one of its most awarded beers in a
limited-edition format
CHAMBLY, QC, Nov. 27, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Unibroue,
Canada's foremost specialty brewer
launches a limited-edition 6-litre format of its award-winning
La Fin du Monde today at 3 pm,
exclusively at the Summerhill LCBO store.
Earlier today, select media and customers who had purchased
advance tickets enjoyed an exclusive tasting event at the
Summerhill LCBO store in Toronto. On top of the 6-litre
bottle, which will be available for the first time to Ontario consumers, the event showcased samples
from a variety of limited release Unibroue products, featuring La
Résolution, Unibroue 17 Grande Réserve, and a Sommelier Pack
consisting of a variety of Unibroue favourites, including
Blanche de Chambly and Don de Dieu, which were also available for
tasting.
Unibroue's Brewmaster Jerry Vietz provided insight on the way
the beers are developed, their inspiration, and their crafting.
"I'm happy to introduce the new limited-edition 6-litre bottle of
La Fin du Monde, in its branded wooden case - only 50 of which will
be available in the Ontario
market, exclusively at the Summerhill location," says Vietz. "This
is one of Unibroue's most iconic beers. It has earned more medals
and awards - including some of the world's highest honours - than
any other Canadian beer. I'm also thrilled with our fourth edition
of the Unibroue 17 Grande Réserve, another multiple award-winner,
which is brewed only once a year."
The event also marked the introduction of Unibroue's new,
limited edition beer: La Résolution, a strong spiced ale that's
sure to make its mark in Canada.
La Résolution is a special brew, available for a limited time
only. This high-end dark ale was inspired by a recipe Jerry Vietz concocted for his friends. At 10%
alcohol, its spicy caramel aroma evolves on the palate into
pleasant and complex notes of toffee reminiscent of a tasty
gingerbread. Its perfect balance between spicy, caramel and roasted
malt flavours is complemented by a nice roundness and persistent
finish.
Finally the tasting also featured offerings from the Sommelier
Pack, which consists of a collection of some of the brewery's most
awarded beers: Blanche de Chambly
(Belgian white ale), La Fin du Monde (triple-style golden ale),
Trois Pistoles (abbey style strong
black ale), Maudite (strong amber-red ale), Éphémère Pomme (white
ale brewed with apple must) and Don de
Dieu (triple wheat ale).
The 6-litre bottles are only available at the LCBO's Summerhill
location, but Unibroue beers are available at LCBO stores across
the province, in a variety of formats. Blanche de Chambly and La Fin du Monde are
offered year-round in 341mL pack formats. Unibroue 17 Grande
Réserve is available in its 2014 vintage, its fourth annual release
at the LCBO. La Résolution, the latest addition to the Unibroue
family, is a limited release for the fall season, available while
supplies last.
