An Ode to Unibroue

I love Belgian style beers. I mean if you're going to do it, do it right and there's nothing greater (or more dangerous) than kicking it with an 11%ish brew. Everyone loves some St Bernardus and Delirium etc. but to me the French Canadians did it right. So if you haven't had a Unibroue beverage then well shame on you but I'm here to help a little bit.

Keeping in mind that I love Quads and the darker colored brews, this is the order in which I rank this beautiful brewery's product.

 

1. Trois Pistoles This 9.0% Dark Brown Brew is as Metal as it gets... It has a freaking Dark Pegasus flying out of Ominous Clouds on its label. What's good about this one is the alcohol flavor is not too overpowering but at the same time its not too sweet. And it will put you on your ass pretty damn quick.

 

2. La Terrible which doesn't translate to Terrible but actually means Formidable.... and at 10.5% it is. I love Quads and this is very close to the perfect Quad. The pour is Dark almost Black and delicious. 

 

3. 17 Grand Reserve .... It says Grand what more do you want? 10% Extra Strong Dark Ale Dark Amber color and again not too sweet.

 

4. Maudite - Finally a lighter beer.... Wrong its an 8.0% Amber that's smother than most without a sharp bite. Well it will take a bite out of you if you're not careful. 

 

5. La Fin Du Monde - The End of the World with a name like that you would think it would be the harshest of the group but in reality its the start of the lighter beers. And by light I mean in color its a 9.0% Triple that if you underestimate it, it will be the end of your world or at least your night. Its not the best Triple I've ever had BUT its pretty damn tasty and its the most Available brew from Unibroue you'll be able to get your hands on. 

 

6. Blanche de Chambly its a pretty damn good Witbier and at only 5.0% its a good Summer during the day I'd like to function later kind of beverage. Plus it won an award or some poo. 

 

I could go on cause we are about halfway there BUT A. I haven't tried them all and B. I'm a horrible writer and most of you won't have read this far anyway. To those that actually did, Bonus beer that I love North Coast - Brother Thelonious a 9.4% Strong Dark Belgian... named after Mr. Monk Himself.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
