maple syrup production is a seasonal Quebec ritual celebrated at family sugar shacks. The an east coast seafood shack is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Tourtière with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
