This great beer name made me think of the Fils du Roy brewery and distillery on the other side of New Brunswick, in the Acadian Peninsula.

They have an Évangéline (brown walnut beer) and a Gabriel (spruce beer) beers that when mixed together make a cocktail called the "Philadelphie-Acadien".
For those who don't know, Évangéline and Gabriel are the legendary couple of Acadian lore. According to the story they were deliberately separated by the British during the deportation in 1755. They never saw each other for decades but spent their adult lives looking for each other. The story ends when an aged Évangéline finally finds an ailing Gabriel on his deathbed. He then dies in her arms.
The ending of the story takes place in Philadelphia. Hence the name of the cocktail.
