One nice part about living here is that around this time of year,
Unibroue‘s holiday
collection starts appearing in beer stores. For the
price of a premium 12-pack, I now have in the fridge:

• 
  two Édition 2004 extra-strong Belgian-style pale ale, conspicuously
  absent from their website for some reason (90
  on beeradvocate)

• Blanche de Chambly, a good white beer (86)
• Maudite,
  the classic Unibroue beer, a Belgian-style strong dark ale (90)

• Fin du Monde, Belgian-style strong pale ale (91)
• Raftman,
  brewed with whisky malt — not an everyday drinker but an
  interesting change (86)

• Eau Bénite, a
  lighter strong pale ale (87)

• Don de
  Dieu, a triple wheat and the only one other than the Édition
  I’ve never tried (90)

• Trois Pistoles, a strong dark ale which is one of my favorites and easy competition against Belgian beer (90)
• and three flavours of Éphémère, their fruit-based white ale: peach, apple and blackcurrant. I’m not a huge fruit beer fan, but it’s a nice change sometimes. (86).

Plus there’s a 750ml corked bottle of abbey-style Terrible (90),
although the other bottle of it hadn’t sealed tightly at the cork and
was sadly flat. And a 6-pack of McAuslan St Ambroise Oatmeal
Stout (91), one of my favorite stouts.

I keep telling myself I should branch out more in beer, but with so many
fantastic world-class beers being made right next door, why not stay
close to home? Merry beermas!
