The Don de Dieu was first released onto the Quebec market as a limited edition
in November 1998. It rapidly became one of Unibroue's most popular bottle-conditioned
products. Therefore, due to increasing demands, Unibroue decided to distribute
it internationally.
It was named after Samuel de Champlain¹s boat, The Don de Dieu, which arrived
in Tadoussac, June 3, 1608. He was commissioned by the King of France to pursue,
by way of the great Canadian waterway, the exploration of the vast and inhospitable
land called "America".
His mission made him founder of Quebec and the land came to be known as the
land of the "somewhat of a great people." Thus, it is in the memory of those
ancestors that Unibroue has brewed the "Don de Dieu," a "somewhat of a great
beer."
