Ugghhh... Unibroue is by far one of the best microbrews in Canada. What did you have that was so grotesque? La Fin Du Monde is an awesome tripel, Blanche de Chamblay is also terrific. Sounds crazy, but I prefer La Fin Du Monde over Chimay Blue. I can taste the candied malts now, can picture the 2 finger head that just lingers in my goblet and the amazing spiciness for mouthfeel.
Le Terrible is also terrific but is a limited run. Unibrue Grand Reserve 17 is another one of my favs. They make alot of Belgium style beers (Not talking like, 'Stella' btw) which have sweet malts and are generally higher in abv. I had the pleasure of visiting their micrbrew (live in Ottawa right now).
I also highly, highly recommend you guys checking out Dieu Du Ciel. Another remarkable Quebec microbrew. They make an awesome stout - Le Peche Mortel. It is an imperial stout and was served in a tulip glass since a proper pint glass would probably get you loaded damn quickly lol. I will post pics of the microbrew later. Did a tour of all the major microbrews in Quebec with a few buddies. My friend, who is new to beer and thinks Heineken is a good beer, hated Belgium tripels at the beginning loved La Fin Du Monde at the very end of our trip lol
BTW - if I recall correctly, I think Surrey Central brew pub has one of the largest selection of microbrews. There's another one in BBY North near SFU.. think it was Hop and Vine. Go there, because they have Fat Tug on draught. My 2nd favourite Pacific NW IPA after Red Racer. Tried that Switch Back IPA and didn't think too much of it. There is also a Mango infused IPA that is often on draught. Interesting but I couldn't appreciate the clash of flavours.
