Quick Facts: ABV: 9%  |  Origin: Chambly, Quebec, Canada  |  Style: Belgian-Style Tripel  |  Brewery: Unibroue

Production & Heritage

Unibroue, based in Chambly, Quebec, developed La Fin du Monde ("The End of the World") after 18 months of research into a unique yeast strain originating from Europe. The beer undergoes triple fermentation and is bottle-conditioned, meaning live yeast remains in the package to continue developing flavor after sealing. Since its introduction, the Beverage Testing Institute has awarded the beer five Platinum and six Gold medals, placing it in rare company among North American interpretations of classic Belgian brewing traditions.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: A floral bouquet opens first, followed by warm honey and fresh baguette. Coriander and subtle spice emerge as the beer warms in the glass, giving it an unmistakably Belgian aromatic signature.

Taste: The entry is mildly hoppy with a clean grain backbone that quickly gives way to layers of candied orange peel, coriander, and lemon at mid-palate. Black pepper and a subtle banana-like ester build toward the peak, joined by clove-like and nutmeg-adjacent warmth that keeps each sip engaging without turning heavy.

Finish: Sweet and decadent, with berry jam, a whisper of maple syrup, and lingering banana bread. The dry close keeps the 9% ABV from feeling cloying, ending clean and balanced.

How to Drink La Fin Du Monde

Pour into a tulip glass or Belgian goblet at 46–50°F to let the complex aromatics fully develop; avoid drinking directly from the can if possible. A Belgian Tripel Shandy (topped with fresh lemon juice and a splash of sparkling water) tempers the ABV for warm-weather sessions. A Tripel Michelada works surprisingly well, as the coriander and citrus character harmonizes with lime, hot sauce, and tomato. For a dessert pairing drink, blend La Fin du Monde into a Beer Float with vanilla ice cream, where the spice and fruit notes play against the cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does La Fin du Monde taste like? La Fin du Monde delivers pronounced coriander, candied orange peel, and black pepper layered over a mildly hoppy grain base, finishing with berry sweetness and dry balance. The 9% ABV is well-integrated, producing a smooth, warming character rather than a sharp alcohol bite.

How does La Fin du Monde compare to Westmalle Tripel? Westmalle Tripel is widely regarded as the definitive example of the Belgian Tripel style, brewed by Trappist monks in Belgium, while La Fin du Monde is a Canadian interpretation that leans more heavily into coriander spice and fruit-forward esters. Both share a dry finish and similar ABV range, but La Fin du Monde tends to show more overt candied citrus and banana character.

Is La Fin du Monde good for sipping neat? Absolutely—poured into a proper glass at cellar temperature, it reveals its full aromatic complexity and is one of the most rewarding Belgian-style ales to drink on its own. The triple fermentation and bottle conditioning create depth that rewards slow, deliberate sipping.

Where is La Fin du Monde made? La Fin du Monde is brewed by Unibroue in Chambly, Quebec, Canada, a town located about 30 kilometers southeast of Montreal on the Richelieu River. The brewery has been producing Belgian-inspired ales in this location since its founding.

What foods pair well with La Fin du Monde? Aged Gruyère or Comté cheese mirrors the beer's nutty complexity. Mussels steamed in white wine echo the Belgian brewing tradition. Roasted chicken with herbs complements the coriander and pepper spice. Crème brûlée plays off the sweet, malty finish. Thai green curry matches the beer's fruit and spice intensity without overwhelming the palate.

What sizes does La Fin du Monde come in? La Fin du Monde is available in this four-pack of cans as well as in traditional 750ml bottles, which are a nod to the Belgian custom of larger-format bottle-conditioned ales.

Is La Fin du Monde worth the price? La Fin du Monde positions as a premium craft ale, and its extensive award history—including multiple World Beer Awards titles and a 2024 World Beer Cup Gold Medal—supports its standing at the upper end of the Belgian Tripel category in terms of quality-to-value ratio.

Why La Fin Du Monde?

Few North American beers carry a trophy case this deep: a 2024 World Beer Cup Gold, consecutive World's Best Belgian Style Tripel titles, and a 96-point Wine Enthusiast score represent recognition across decades of consistent brewing. The 18-month yeast development program that originally created the recipe remains central to its identity, producing a flavor profile that Belgian Tripel purists and newcomers both gravitate toward. The four-pack can format makes this complexity portable and shareable without sacrificing the bottle-conditioned character that defines the beer. In a style crowded with imitators, La Fin du Monde continues to set the benchmark for Belgian Tripels brewed outside Belgium.
