Beer Hiking Quebec - by Bianca Pomerleau (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Beer lovers and hiking enthusiasts, these 30 Quebec hikes are for you!

With her carefully selected itineraries, local hiking and beer expert Bianca Pomerleau sends you on a cultural trek through Quebec's stunning natural landscapes to a brewery or brewpub where a regional craft beer awaits. This full-color guidebook features the best hikes in and around La Belle Province ("the beautiful province"): from the mountains of Gaspé Peninsula, over the dunes of the Magdalen Islands, and along the charming cobblestone streets of old Montreal.

Stroll the historic city center of Quebec, take in the magnificent view from the cliffs of Percé, or pop into a local brewery in Carleton-sur-Mer and order a beer from a family descended from pirates!

A thirst-quenching guide to Quebec's historic urban centers and natural wonders, this book promises unforgettable experiences at the region's famous breweries. Each trail description includes details on access, difficulty, duration, points of interest and, at trail's end, a recommended beer, with notes on its appearance, aroma and taste. You'll also get an inside look at the creative and passionate craftspeople behind the brewing process.
