Canadian Ready-To-Drink
A playful vodka soda built around gentle honey, soft vanilla and warm pastry notes. The sweetness is measured rather than heavy, with clean carbonation keeping the profile light and refreshing.

Wild Ambition Brewing You Rock, Don’t Ever Change Okanagan Peach Sour Ale
Canadian Beer
Fresh Okanagan peaches soften the edges of a full mixed-fermentation sour base, bringing ripe stone-fruit aroma and a gently rounded centre. Brettanomyces-led fermentation adds rustic complexity, while extended contact with whole fruit keeps the peach flavour integrated rather than superficial.

Wild Ambition Brewing Flower Market Hibiscus Sour Ale
Canadian Beer
A mixed-fermentation golden sour with layered acidity and a vivid hibiscus character.

Mauro Vergano Americano Rosso Aperitivo
Italian Fortified
A Grignolino wine base brings vivid cherry fruit beneath a firmly bitter botanical frame. Gentian, wormwood and quinine give the palate structure, while bitter orange peel and savoury herbs add citrus lift and aromatic detail.

Trading Post Brewing Belgian Quadrupel
Canadian Beer
Dark malt and sweet bread lead a full, warming Belgian-style ale. Raisin and other dried-fruit notes add richness, while expressive yeast brings a gentle spicy, phenolic edge that keeps the palate from feeling flat.

Three Magnets More Reverb American IPA 473 mL
American Beer
A mellow, balanced American IPA with grassy and pine-led hops over a lightly biscuity malt base.

Its deeper golden-rust colour hints at a little more malt presence than a very pale IPA. Serve cool with grilled chicken, fish tacos, sharp cheddar or herb-forward dishes.
The Mikuni Blended Japanese Whisky
Japanese Whisky
Amber and gently full in appearance, with dried-fruit sweetness and a faint smoky accent on the nose.

Temporal Artisan Ales Infinite Syzygy Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine
Canadian Beer
Deep brown and full-bodied, with caramel, toffee and molasses framing concentrated dried fruit.
