Episode 7 – Blue, Green and Black
In honour of the Quebec National holiday, we drink not 1 but 2 ciders. One sparkling and one iced, both from our big blue province. We rap up our No 2 sized cigars with the Montecristo No 2, and Abtin talks about what’s going on in Iran and how technology is playing an important role in the current situation

In Quebec, cider is considered a traditional alcoholic beverage. Cider making was, however, forbidden from the early years of the British rule as it was in direct conflict with established British brewers’ interests (most notably John Molson). In recent years, a unique variety has emerged on the market: ice cider. This type of cider is made from apples with a particularly high level of sugar caused by natural frost.
