Esquimalt Rosso Sweet Vermouth
Canadian Fortified
$35.99
Plum, fig and orange lead a generous aroma, followed by brown sugar, rosemary and cinnamon. The palate is rich but composed, with ripe fruit and cola balanced by white pepper, clove, star anise and a firm herbal line. A mead-based texture gives the middle palate breadth without becoming syrupy. The finish is savoury, gently bitter and warming. Serve lightly chilled over ice, or use it in a Negroni, Martinez or Manhattan.
Esquimalt Dry Vermouth 500 mL
Canadian Fortified
$35.99
Honeysuckle, green apple and pear open an aromatic nose, moving into ripe peach, chamomile and elderflower. The palate is fresh and crisp, with lively acidity balancing subtle honeyed fruit and a firm herbaceous line. Pineapple, mango and apricot add generosity without changing the dry profile, while a faint grassy note keeps the finish precise. Serve well chilled over ice with olives and a touch of brine, or use it in a classic Martini.
Esquimalt Bianco Sweet Vermouth
Canadian Fortified
$35.99
Lemon peel, vanilla and garden herbs spring from the glass, joined by chamomile and a warm orange-spice note. The palate is sweet but not cloying, with lively acidity and a firm herbaceous bitterness keeping the texture focused. A subtle grassy note adds freshness before bitter lemon carries the long finish. Serve well chilled over ice with a lemon twist or olive, topped with sparkling water, or use it in a lighter Negroni-style cocktail.
Small Gods x Whistle Buoy Fields of Plenty Fresh Hop Island Pale Ale
Canadian Beer
$6.49
Freshly picked hops lead a vivid green aroma, with clean citrus and a gently resinous edge over locally malted grain. The palate is crisp and medium-bodied, balancing bright hop character with a clear, lightly bready malt foundation. Moderate bitterness gives shape without overwhelming the fresh aromatics. The finish is dry, energetic and distinctly hop-led. Serve well chilled with fish tacos, grilled sausages, sharp cheddar, or fried chicken.
Esquimalt Vino Miele Limoncello
Canadian Liqueur
$35.99
Fresh lemon peel opens with vivid citrus oils and a clean, aromatic lift. British Columbia honey adds a rounded, lightly floral sweetness, while the mead base gives the palate a supple texture and more depth than a simple sugar syrup. Bright acidity keeps the finish refreshing rather than heavy, with lemon zest lingering over a soft honeyed note. Serve thoroughly chilled, pour over ice, or lengthen with soda for a crisp after-dinner drink.
Esquimalt Bitter Red Americano
Canadian Fortified
$35.99
Bright citrus and decisive herbal bitterness shape the opening, balanced by just enough honeyed sweetness to keep the palate composed. Gentian and wormwood provide a firm, appetizing structure, while subtle wood smoke, pine and coastal botanicals add depth. Grapefruit and fresh florals lift the long, clean finish. Serve over ice with soda, or use it as the bitter component in a Negroni, Boulevardier or Americano-style cocktail.
Esquimalt Bitter Orange Apéritif
Canadian Fortified
$39.99
Orange blossom leads with a bright, fragrant lift, followed by vanilla, almond and a firm line of herbaceous bitterness. Cinnamon and clove add gentle warmth, while the mead base brings a rounded texture without making the palate heavy. The finish is citrus-led, bittersweet and quietly spiced. Serve chilled over ice, lengthen with sparkling water, or use it to bring polished orange-and-botanical depth to gin, rum or whisky cocktails.
Vancouver Island Brewing Beach Shack Blackberry Blonde Ale 568 mL
Canadian Beer
$5.99
Juicy blackberry gives this light-bodied blonde ale an immediate burst of ripe berry flavour. A slight tartness keeps the fruit bright, while gentle honey sweetness and light biscuit malt add enough roundness without making the palate heavy. The texture stays smooth and easygoing, finishing dry and clean for a refreshing result. Serve cool with grilled chicken, fish tacos, mild cheese or a summer berry salad.
