Does anyone know where to obtain Unibroue beers in the United States.
They are brewed in Quebec Canada and are truly amazing.

Several places. I've seen them in the Midwest, on the East Coast, on the
West Coast. I can't think of many areas they aren't available.

However, I know nothing about the market in South Carolina. Many southern
states have silly restrictions on beer, disallowing beers above a certain
alcohol level to be sold, and Unibroue beers tend to be pretty well up
there.

It would help if you mentioned where in the United States you are
located. For instance, I drink the Unibroue products at The Sharp Edge in
Pittsburgh PA. That doesn't help you if you live in California.

Near Greenville, SC is a reasonable guess. ;-)

I can usually find them at Downtown Liquors in Sommerville, MA, and
Franklin St. Beer & Wine sometimes has them.

The fresher, the better.

I dunno. Some I've had fresh have seemed liked a muddy jumble
of flavors (what's that strong dark one... Trois Pistoles?. Age
seemed to help that one, at least.

Unibroue is widely available in the good old US of ****in'
A. I could get it in Houston, and it's available in the DC
area.

I like virtually all of their offerings, but I'm still
waiting for them to put out something orgasmic.

They offer things like "10" and "Terrible" and "MonSacreBlue" in the huge
bottles. Actually, I think most of those cites are wrong--I can't
remember. But in any case, their special bottlings can be fab, if
overpriced. Their regular product is absolutely fabulous, until you get
used to it. Then you don't buy it any more, and instead look for Belgian
styles that have some hops.

I've had "10" and "Terrible" but not in huge bottles, only
in 750ml bottles.

Finding a Belgian beer that emphisize hops is like finding
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, with the exception that
a small percentage of Belgian beers can be described as
hoppy.

Hmmm, there's more hoppy beers than WMD in Iraq... think Orval, think
everything by de Ranke, think Hommelbier, think Duvel, even !

And Piraat is a favorite. I also really like Bell's Sparking Ale, which
has the champagne brightness of Duvel, and a great hops kick to boot.

Yes, that was my point. But I'll repeat that a small
percentage of Belgian beers can be described as hoppy. And
Orval and Duvel are marginal candidates.
