De la bière d’épinette aux ratafias : boissons et alcools du terroir
In a world without microbreweries, the first French settlers of the 17th century had to roll up their sleeves and produce their alcohol with the means at hand. Come and discover this fascinating history of Quebec spirits from the 17th to the 21st century in the company of historian Catherine Ferland, whom you may have heard on the radio or TV! While you're at it, why not have a sip or two? For science's sake, of course!
