Unibroue out of Canada. They make quite a few triple fermented beers that have always appealed to my tastebuds. Anyone tried this process. Amazing beers!
Would the triple fermentation make it difficult to make a proper brew? I know I am eons away from such a task but I like a challenge.
^ You betcha. The shame of it is Alabama does not allow more than 5.5% for beer so I have to smuggle from FL. worth the risk! What is bottle conditioning?
Live super near to the brewery, but never really dug any of there beers. Respect them but dont like them!
Unibroue makes some fine brews. Bottle conditioning is adding yeast during the bottling which most Belgian brews do. Be careful though, many add a different yeast than the original.
Agreed on Unibroue- great beers, and I'm not even a big Belgian fan. Those beers really sing.
Why, though, would a brewery use a different yeast for conditioning? Is the second strain just really cheap, so it makes sense to use it?

\They may want to discourage people who are trying to culture yeast from the bottle.
Theoretically you could use a yeast that ate sugars that the first ignored, thus not having to add any sugar at bottling. I don't know that anyone does this, however.
They may want to use a neutral yeast just to ensure that the flavour doesn't change unexpectedly while bottle conditioning.

Is that the stuff they have been selling in Costco Lately?
They also might choose a lager yeast for bottle conditioning so the yeast will stay active without having to be tied up in a warm room for weeks.... See Brew Like a Monk.
Damn them!! I hate when they do that...lol.

Unibroue's Maudite and Trois Pistoles are two of my favorite beers, but at $10 for a 4 pack i only drink it a few times a year.

I've had Tres Pistoles, which I did like. I also had a Trader Joe's vintage ale that turned out to be brewed by Unibroue.
