Truck 59 Baptism by Firetruck Semi-Dry Apple Cider 473 mL
Crisp apple fruit gives this modern semi-dry cider a bright, clean centre. The palate is friendly and easygoing, balancing gentle orchard sweetness with enough acidity and dryness to keep the finish refreshing. Its straightforward structure makes it equally comfortable on its own or alongside food. Serve well chilled with roast pork, grilled sausages, fish and chips, sharp cheddar or a simple apple-and-fennel salad.
Trading Post Brewing Belgian Quadrupel
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. The finish is strong, malty and persistent, with enough bite to balance its softer fruit and bread character. Serve cool in a stemmed glass with braised beef, blue cheese, fruitcake or dark chocolate.
Tokyo Sky Japanese Yuzu Sparkling Sake & Wine Cocktail Can
Bright yuzu brings a fragrant citrus lift to a light sparkling sake-and-wine base. Airy bubbles keep the palate fresh, while the fruit moves between tangy zest and a softer, gently rounded citrus character. The overall style is clean, lively and easy to enjoy without becoming overly sweet. Serve thoroughly chilled, either straight from the can or poured over ice with a simple citrus garnish.
To Øl Mochaccino Messiah Coffee Brown Ale
Roasted chocolate malt and nutty espresso shape a dark, full-bodied brown ale, rounded by creamy lactose and a touch of milk chocolate. Cocoa and coffee remain central on the palate, while salted caramel and a gentle warming edge add depth. The finish turns dry and persistent, with lingering bitter espresso balancing the richer flavours. Serve cool with tiramisu, chocolate cake, nut desserts or a firm aged cheese.
Three Magnets Old Skook English Barleywine 473 mL
Caramel and vanilla lead into a concentrated palate of fig, plum and raisin, supported by toast, biscuit and a light sherry-like depth. The texture is smooth and full without losing definition, while a modest hop bitterness keeps the rich malt and dark-fruit sweetness in check. Toffee and a gentle warming note linger through the finish. Serve cool in a small glass with blue cheese, roast beef, fruitcake or pecan tart.
Three Magnets More Reverb American IPA 473 mL
A mellow, balanced American IPA with grassy and pine-led hops over a lightly biscuity malt base. The palate is fresh and measured rather than aggressively aromatic, with soft carbonation, a subtle mineral edge and restrained bitterness carrying the finish. 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
Amber and gently full in appearance, with dried-fruit sweetness and a faint smoky accent on the nose. The palate begins youthful and lively, then settles into a rounded, mellow texture built from malt and grain whisky. Subtle oak and a measured spice note add definition through the finish, which lingers lightly on the tongue. Serve neat, over a single cube, or lengthened with chilled soda in a clean highball.
The Irony Spirits Cranberry Euphoria Semi-Sweet Liqueur 375 mL
Bright cranberry brings tart red-fruit freshness to a smooth, semi-sweet palate. A hint of rosemary adds a savoury herbal lift, giving the berry character more definition and keeping the finish from becoming heavy. The texture is rounded but lively, with a clean balance between fruit, sweetness and gentle botanical detail. Serve well chilled after dinner, pour over ice, or add a small measure to sparkling wine for a crisp aperitif.
The Irony Spirits The Booster Shot Serrano Pepper Spirit 375 mL
Serrano pepper gives this semi-dry aperitif a vivid, warming bite, balanced by the sweeter character of red bell pepper. Italian strawflower and lime leaves add aromatic lift and a fresh citrus-herbal edge, keeping the palate lively rather than aggressive. The finish is bold, clean and savoury. Serve well chilled or over ice, or use a small measure to sharpen a Caesar, Margarita or another cocktail that benefits from controlled heat.
Temporal Artisan Ales Two Threads Barrel-Aged Barleywine 330 mL
Rich malt and caramel form the centre of this layered barleywine, joined by dark fruit and a lightly sherried oxidative note from its mature component. Bourbon and rye-whiskey barrels add vanilla, oak and measured spice, while a younger portion contributes freshness and firm bitterness. The blend feels deep without becoming static, finishing warm and persistent. Serve cool in a small glass with aged cheddar, blue cheese, roast beef, pecan tart or dark chocolate.
Temporal Artisan Ales Relative Dimensions Barrel-Aged Strong Ale
Dark fruit and caramel from a Belgian-style quadrupel meet the deeper malt weight of a Munichwine base. Tawny-port barrel ageing adds a rounded, vinous richness, while rye-whiskey oak brings dry spice and structure. The palate is concentrated but composed, moving from raisin and toffee toward seasoned wood and a warming, gently bitter finish. Serve cool in a small glass with braised beef, blue cheese, fruitcake or dark chocolate.
Temporal Artisan Ales Infinite Syzygy Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine
Deep brown and full-bodied, with caramel, toffee and molasses framing concentrated dried fruit. Bourbon-barrel ageing adds vanilla, seasoned oak and a gentle leather note, while restrained carbonation keeps the texture broad and smooth. The sweetness is substantial but not shapeless, carried by roast and barrel structure into a long, warming finish. Serve cool in a small glass with aged cheddar, blue cheese, braised beef, sticky toffee pudding or dark chocolate.
Temporal Artisan Ales Expanding Fractals Bourbon Barrel-Aged Belgian Quadrupel 330 mL
Dark candi sugar, piloncillo and jaggery build a deep, molasses-like sweetness over a rich Belgian-style malt base. Extended bourbon-barrel ageing adds vanilla, seasoned oak and warming spice, while expressive abbey yeast brings dried-fruit complexity. Despite its concentration, the finish remains structured, with barrel character and gentle bitterness keeping the dark sweetness in balance. Serve cool in a small glass with braised beef, blue cheese, pecan tart or dark chocolate.
Temporal Artisan Ales A Hand at Dusk Barrel-Aged Plum Saison
A slightly hazy orange-gold colour introduces a lively, mixed-culture saison with a softly funky aroma and clear plum character. The palate is bright and tart, combining juicy red fruit with grainy farmhouse depth and a touch of rye. Gentle carbonation keeps the texture composed, while a persistent sour-plum finish adds energy and definition. Serve cool with roast duck, pork, washed-rind cheese or a grain salad dressed with herbs and citrus.
Tamanohikari Blue Fox Mane-Kitsune Junmai Ginjo Sake
Apple and melon give the aroma a fresh, lightly floral lift, joined by cooked rice, subtle honey and a quiet nutty note. The palate is medium-dry and clean, with refreshing acidity balancing a savoury core of rice umami. A light, sharp finish keeps the profile precise rather than rich. Serve chilled with sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, tempura or savoury snacks; gentle warmth can bring the rice character forward with heartier dishes.
Takashima Homare Fuji Special Junmai Sake
Soft rice sweetness and a refreshing aroma lead into a medium-bodied palate with generous umami. The texture is full without feeling heavy, balanced by light crispness and a clean, refined finish. Its savoury depth makes it especially versatile at the table. Serve chilled or gently warmed with grilled fish, yakitori, mushrooms, tempura or soy-braised dishes, where the rice character and acidity can complement rather than dominate the food.
Sundown Beer x Boombox Brewing Mystical Machine Double Hoppy Hefeweizen 473 mL
A full wheat-beer base carries the soft fruit and spice of hefeweizen yeast, while Loral, Citra and Amarillo hops add bright citrus, floral lift and a firmer aromatic edge. The palate is substantial yet smooth, with lively hop character balancing the rounded grain. A gently bitter finish keeps the richness in check. Serve cool with roast chicken, grilled sausages, spicy noodles or washed-rind cheese, where the beer's weight and freshness can work together.
Liquore Strega
Saffron gives this Italian herbal liqueur its golden colour and a distinctive savoury warmth. Mint and juniper bring freshness, while cinnamon, iris and layered herbs create a fragrant, gently sweet palate with a softly spiced finish. The texture is smooth and composed, allowing the botanicals to unfold without becoming heavy. Serve neat or over ice after dinner, or use a small measure to add herbal depth to a citrus-led cocktail.
The Strait & Narrow Pear Rhubarb Gin Cocktail 355 mL
Ripe pear brings a soft, rounded fruit character, sharpened by the tart edge of Fraser Valley rhubarb. A custom gin base adds subtle botanical lift, while lively carbonation keeps the palate refreshing and clean. The balance stays bright rather than sugary, finishing with crisp orchard fruit and a gentle herbal note. Serve thoroughly chilled, or pour over ice with a thin pear slice alongside charcuterie, roast pork, fresh salads or creamy cheese.
The Strait & Narrow Peach Elderflower Gin Cocktail 355 mL
Juicy peach gives the palate a soft stone-fruit centre, lifted by the delicate floral character of British Columbia elderflower. A custom gin base adds gentle botanical definition, while sparkling water keeps the texture bright, crisp and easy to drink. The finish is clean and lightly fragrant rather than sweet or heavy. Serve thoroughly chilled on its own, or pour over ice with a peach slice and pair with grilled prawns, fresh salads or mild cheese.
