La Fin Du Monde on tap anywhere in Ontario ?

Post by thegame444 »

Hi. First post here. Just wondering if one of my favourite beers, La fin du Monde, is on tap anywhere in Ontario ?

Any suggestions for other Unibroue beers on tap are welcome. I've been to the Beer Bistro and had Maudite there. Looking for others !

thanks

The Cloak & Dagger had Maudite on tap last time I was there (November). Can't say I've seen FDM on tap. Would love to try Trois Pistoles on draught though (I couldn't even find it on tap in Montreal last summer).

MMmmm. Trois Pistoles on tap would be tasty.
Blanche de Chambly is on tap at the Charlotte Room. Nice spot for some pool and beers downtown, but nothing else beer-tempting really.

Pinguino - that reminds me that I've also seen BDC on tap at Clinton's.

La Fin du Monde has never been on tap in Ontario. I have had it in the States, but the east coast rep for Unibroue, when I asked him about it later, said that it was a one-off, unlikely to ever be repeated. Mind you, that was before Sapporo bought Sleeman, so attitudes might have changed, but given that I've not seen it again in any of the beer bars I frequent south of the border, I expect not.

As long as they don't mess with the recipe, the bottled stuff is just fine by me. :wink:

Although I do really like Blanche De Chambly on tap, I always get that when I got to The Only Cafe at Donlands/Danfourth. Cool little place.

Have a great weekend you lot.

Although not in Ontario, but VERY close, Bar Bistro l'Autre Oeil in Aylmer (Gatineau), QC, across the river from Ottawa, HAS Trois-Pistoles on tap!

IIRC, there are only 2 or 3 places in Quebec where it is available.

All I can say about it is: WOW! :D

Update on The Charlotte Room. They now have Blanche de Chambly and Maudite on tap, just got Maudite in. The Maudite tap is apparently going to change every couple months with other Unibroue beers.
They also have Sapporo on tap now...their tap line up is largely dominated by Sleeman-related brews.

Just remembered that the Cloak & Dagger has also had Ephemere Apple on tap in the past.

I'm enjoying a bottle of La Fin right now, it's been aged for 13 months. I bought a sixer last year, and since I was still really new to beer, I didn't understand it, nor could I properly appreciate it. So I put the rest of the pack away, knowing that it was theoretically meant to age. So even after just a year and a month, it seems to be changing, for the better. It's darker in colour, a lot more yeasty, and the fruity elements seem to be getting slightly more complex. I can't wait to revisit in another year or two!

Sorry for going slightly off-topic, but I'm just excited as this is my first personally aged beer I've ever had.

Unibroue taps are fairly hard to find. McLean's Pub in downtown Montreal has (or, at least, had) three or four Unibroue taps, all of which were dry when I was there a couple of years ago. :(

I had Trois Pistoles on tap in Le Pub St-Alexandre in Quebec City, and its well worth the airfare!

Cannondale...
Not much right now unfortunately. Only Blanche de Chambly. My buddy got the last glass of Maudite on Wed....the keg ended 1/2 way through my pour.
:evil:
I was told before they were bringing in Éphémère next, once the Maudite was done, but apparently not. The replacement coming in is Mill St Tankhouse.
