History
Unibroue was founded by André Dion and Serge Racine who had together acquired 75% of La Brasserie Massawippi Inc. of Lennoxville in 1990. The two purchased the remainder of the shares at the end of 1991 when they transferred their interest in La Brasserie Massawippi Inc. to Unibroue. By 1992, La Brasserie Massawippi Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Unibroue. It then changed its corporate name to Brasserie Broubec Inc. and subsequently merged with Unibroue in July 1993. It was bought by Canadian brewer, Sleeman Breweries Ltd., in 2004. Sleeman was purchased by Sapporo in 2006.
