New episode of A Quick Beer! Overseas expansion as I visited a number of the scenic villages of England's Surrey Hills including Shere, made famous for being the location of the British side of the film The Holiday. Give it a watch!

A Quick Beer returns to the home country with a visit to three of Montreal's original brewpubs! DDC, Amère à Boire & Cheval Blanc have long been favourites and opened my eyes to what local beer could be when there wasn't much on the scene in Toronto.

Toronto being known as ‘New York run by the Swiss’ is way too generous. Toronto is significantly more uptight & impatient. In Switzerland one can drink as they please with no signs of societal collapse that TO frets about. Plus, folks politely put all their empties in the bin.
