Parkside Brewery The Birds Barrel-Aged Maple and Coffee Stout
Dark maple syrup and freshly roasted espresso lead a deep, malt-rich profile.

Backcountry Brewing Babymaker Session IPA 473 mL
Citra and Mosaic hops give this session IPA its core, translating the familiar shape of a fuller IPA into a lighter frame.

Serve cold with tacos, burgers, fried chicken, grilled prawns or sharp cheddar.
Four Winds Brewing Co. Operis Brett Saison 330 mL
Ageing in Okanagan red-wine barrels gives this Brett saison a clear vinous dimension, while Brettanomyces brings earthy, wild-fermentation character.

Serve cold with roast chicken, washed-rind cheese, mushroom tart, charcuterie or grilled pork.
East Vancouver Brewing Co. The Unholy One Nitro Stout
Roasted coffee and dark chocolate set the tone, with fresh bread and deep caramel adding warmth beneath the darker malt.

Serve cold with ceviche, grilled prawns, fish tacos, fresh chevre or citrus salad.
CoCo Vodka Original 473 mL
Real coconut water gives the palate a fresh, lightly tropical character, supported by a clean base of triple-distilled vodka.

Smooth and refreshing rather than heavy, it should be served thoroughly chilled. Pair with summer salads, grilled prawns, savoury skewers or lightly spiced dishes.
Suntory -196 Lemon Vodka Soda
Fresh lemon character leads with a clean, mouthwatering citrus snap.
