Unibroue Trois Pistoles, Unibroue, Quebec: Review
by andaryl | Jun 20 '01
Excellent Canadian version of a strong Belgian Ale. Unibroue Trois Pistoles combines roasted malt, ripe red fruit and yeast with a port-like finish.

I was hoping that someone could answer that question. I thought I was just going to get a translation, didn't realize that there was more to it. Thanks Lew.

A little less mystery... (Reply to this comment)

The image on the label is a scene from a particularly French bit of Quebeçois folklore. Short version: the Devil finds himself at loose ends one day, and takes a bet he can finish building a village's church in a day. He does, and a marvelous job he does.
The village? Take a look at a map of Quebec, along the south shore of the St. Lawrence, between the towns of Rimouski and Riviere-du-Loup. You'll find it.
And "Pistole" is Quebeçois slang for a small coin. I love these labels, and I love this brewery, but I think their very best beer is the stunning Don de Dieu. Wow.
Cheers,
Lew Bryson
