"Maude, her boyfriend and a friend decided to start making craft beer. And as if that wasn't enough, they also chose to open a restaurant with two of their friends - the famous Chum et Chérie from Des Réguines et des hommes. A modern and simple restaurant, in which only local products are served. Throughout this novel in short fragments, we are entitled to the tender but teasing portrait that the narrator paints of her adopted corner of the country and of those who inhabit it, all against the backdrop of a crowded terrace, of sure beers. and the risks of restoration. Maude, at her bar in the Eastern Townships, sees a few regulars, and also a few "irregulars" - tourists visiting the area, locals who come to "try this", eat local ... Always with humor, she recounts her summer, between hiring staff, cacophonous reservations on the phone, and above all, the beautiful encounters that can occur around a fire or a bar. Beers and women, it's a summer in a rural restaurant that has just opened, with its achievements, its good times and its memorable anecdotes. Above all, it is the story of Maude, Nath and Meg, the waitress, three funny and endearing female characters who run a fledgling business as best they can, with all it takes of goodwill and self-mockery.."
