Book Synopsis

A guide to the best hikes and microbreweries in the cities and on the islands of Atlantic Canada

Hike descriptions include details on access, difficulty, duration, points of interest, history and, at trail's end, a recommended beer with notes on its appearance, aroma and taste. You'll also get an insider's look at each brewery and meet their creative and passionate craftspeople. Beer. Hiking. Atlantic Canada. Three cheers to that!
