I plan on gaining 15 pounds in 4 days. Or 6.8 kg as you guys would say.
Message Rastacouere P beers 6175 º places 701 º 21:49 Tue 1/20/2015 Best Dumplings in town imo = Qing Hua. They have three addresses now. One specializing in dumpling soups on Ste-Catherine W., one on St-Laurent in Chinatown and one on Lincoln, near Guy-Concordia metro station. Also decent = Roi du Dumpling on St-Marc and Mai Xiang Yuan on St-Laurent(Chinatown, but a few steps away from the better Qing Hua) and Oh! Dumplings on La Gauchetière (Chinatown, see above comment wrt Qing Hua)

We stopped there for poutine once... we should have got the souvlaki :) LARGE portions but not the greatest poutine.

Message AdamChandler P beers 6124 º places 278 º 09:46 Mon 2/9/2015 Just updating here that I’ll be leaving VT around noon on Friday and heading up. I just noticed on this page - http://mondialcidres.com/program.html The tasting is 1-3PM on Friday, yes? that would mean I miss the actual time of rating ciders. Am I reading that correctly? I have to be back in Stowe. VT by 2PM on Saturday for snowmobiling so it looks like other than meeting a few of you and hitting DDC, there’s not much of a reason to come up. So can someone confirm that actual time I’ll have to rate ciders on Friday afternoon? If 1-3 is the window, I’ll likely cancel this trip. ---- Note to my CA friends, I will still be coming up to Quebec City for the DDC Peche event. Hoping to meet a few of you and maybe be at Tommy’s house the night before to open a few beers. I owe mathieuc a few beers as well.
Message tom10101 P beers 6528 º places 287 º 09:53 Mon 2/9/2015 Adam: You can taste the Ice Ciders at any time. The 1-3 PM is when there’s a sommelier telling you how to taste Ice Cider. ;)
Message AdamChandler P beers 6124 º places 278 º 10:27 Mon 2/9/2015 THANKS! Then I’ll arrive around 3PM and drink my belly full :) After the Cidre-festival, I’m down for ticking & drinking. Anyone that wants to do some drinking with me @ DDC or another place, just let me know.

Message brokensail P admin beers 21480 º places 1691 º 10:46 Mon 2/9/2015 I’ve heard the best place to get random malt liquor ticks in Quebec is to just go to crappy liquor stores. I used the Travel Lists feature and it looks like I should be able to get these: Bowes Special 7 Triple Dry Brasseurs RJ Tremblay Xtreme Carling Black Label Extra Old Stock Strong Coors Altitude Cyclone 7.2% Cyclone Power 8.5% Labatt Blue Dry 10.1% Labatt Blue Dry 7.1% Loup-Garou Molson Black Ice Molson Carling Black Label Big 10 Molson Carling Black Label Supreme Molson Dry 7.5% Molson Dry 8.5% Molson Dry 10.1% Any recommendations in the downtown area? Or maybe in some of the other areas I plan on visiting like the Old Port or out by Dieu du Ciel?
Message AdamChandler P beers 6124 º places 278 º 12:06 Mon 2/9/2015 Jealous. I’d like to rate all of those as well. IP trade?
Message brokensail P admin beers 21480 º places 1691 º 12:31 Mon 2/9/2015 Not gonna be able to do any trading. Plus, I’m not even sure what I’ll find...or how long the better half will put up with me popping in to every shady liquor store looking for all the Labatt and Molson garbage that I can find.
