Selection
Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Apricot and ripe pear lead the aroma, followed by roasted grain, vanilla and gentle baking spice. The palate is smooth and approachable, with charred American oak bringing structure beneath the fruit and a light caramel sweetness rounding the centre. A measured pepper note and dry oak carry the finish without becoming severe. Serve neat, over a single large cube, or in a restrained Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
St. George Bruto Americano
Vibrant citrus leads the aroma, backed by cinnamon, sandalwood and fresh fir. The palate opens with decisive gentian bitterness before moving into an herbaceous, woodsy centre shaped by Seville orange, balsam fir and California buckthorn. Light, dry and layered rather than sweet, it closes with a lingering bitter-citrus finish. Serve over ice with soda and orange, or use in a Negroni, Americano or spritz for a distinctly botanical edge.
St. Petroni Vermu Branco 1 L
Pale gold and aromatic, with crisp Albariño fruit opening into citrus peel, white flowers and a clean herbal lift. Laurel and wormwood add savoury depth, while Padrón pepper brings a subtle warmth that sharpens the gently rounded texture. The finish is fresh, persistent and lightly bitter. Serve chilled over ice with lemon, lengthen with soda, or use in a bright aperitif cocktail alongside olives, shellfish or salted almonds.
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Dark and full-bodied, with a creamy texture and a generous fruit-led aroma shaped by expressive yeast. The palate is rich yet remarkably rounded, balancing gentle sweetness with measured bitterness and layers of dark fruit, caramel and warm spice. A long bittersweet finish provides definition and keeps the weight composed. Serve cool with braised beef, game, blue cheese or dark chocolate, all of which can meet the beer's depth and intensity.
Soma Craft Cidery Blueberry Oak Apple Cider
Fresh blueberry gives the aroma a floral, gently tart lift, while crisp Okanagan apple keeps the palate bright and refreshing. American oak adds a delicate savoury note and quiet structure without obscuring the fruit. The result is balanced and clean, moving from berry skin and orchard freshness toward a smooth, subtly oaked finish. Serve well chilled with roast pork, grilled sausages, firm cheese or a berry-led salad.
Brasserie de Silly Enghien Blonde 330 mL
Aromatic and softly rounded, with clean pale-malt sweetness giving the palate a smooth centre. Quality hops bring a measured bitterness that stays composed rather than severe, while light fruit, gentle yeast spice and a faint citrus lift add freshness. The finish is harmonious, dry-leaning and pleasantly bitter. Serve cool with roast chicken, mussels, creamy cheese or lightly spiced dishes, where the beer's balance can complement the food without overwhelming it.
Small Gods Brewing Co. Empire of Ideas Lemon Ginger Hefeweizen
Zesty lemon opens with clean citrus lift, followed by fresh ginger and the soft grain of a light wheat-beer base. Classic hefeweizen yeast brings gentle fruit and spice, while the ginger adds definition without dominating the palate. The finish is lively, refreshing and lightly warming. Serve cold with sushi, grilled prawns, Thai salads, roast chicken or mild curry, where the lemon and ginger can sharpen the food without overwhelming it.
Small Gods Brewing Co. Daughters of Silence Coffee Wafer Blonde Ale
A biscuity blonde-ale base carries fresh roasted coffee in a surprisingly light, composed frame. Soft malt and wafer-like sweetness meet the coffee’s darker edge, while a small amount of lactose rounds the texture into a smooth, creamy finish. The result is roasty without the weight of a stout. Serve cool with brunch, tiramisu, shortbread, nutty cheese or vanilla ice cream, where the coffee and biscuit notes can find a natural echo.
Sidekick Brewing Arnold the Caddie Iced Tea Lemon Radler Tall Can
Bright lemon gives this easy-drinking radler a fresh citrus edge, softened by smooth iced-tea notes and a light beer base. The palate stays crisp and uncluttered, with enough gentle tea character to balance the fruit without becoming sweet or heavy. A clean, refreshing finish keeps the style lively. Serve thoroughly chilled with grilled chicken, fish tacos, picnic sandwiches or salty snacks, where the lemon and tea can provide a brisk counterpoint.
Sharpe Distillery Pisqu 375 mL
Honey and fresh grape give the palate a gently sweet opening, followed by earthy notes that recall a cool wine cellar and damp oak. The texture is creamy and substantial, with red pepper and warm spice building toward the finish. Fruit remains present beneath the savoury detail, keeping the spirit balanced and distinctive. Serve neat in a small glass, add a little water, or use in a Pisco Sour where its grape, earth and pepper can remain clear.
71 Brewing Heavy Lifting Scottish Heavy
Dark amber and firmly malt-led, this Scottish heavy layers caramel, toffee, molasses and brown sugar in a smooth, compact palate. Toasted malt keeps the sweetness grounded, while the restrained strength and easy texture preserve a genuinely sessionable shape. The finish is mellow, rounded and clean. Serve cool with steak pie, sausages, roast mushrooms, aged cheddar or sticky toffee pudding, where the beer’s deep malt character can echo the dish without becoming heavy.
Schneider’s Bayrisch Hell Helles Lager
Bright straw-yellow and clear, this Bavarian lager balances soft bready malt with delicate floral and grassy hop notes. Hints of honey and lemon add quiet detail without changing its clean, traditional shape. The palate is smooth and gently rounded, finishing crisp, snappy and refreshing. Serve cold with roast chicken, sausages, schnitzel, pretzels or mild cheeses, where the restrained malt and hop balance can remain front and centre.
Sandbagger Transfusion Vodka Cocktail 355 mL
Concord grape gives this vodka cocktail a vivid, fruit-forward opening, sharpened by the crisp spice of ginger ale. The palate is balanced and refreshing rather than heavy, with fine carbonation carrying the grape and ginger into a clean finish. Serve thoroughly chilled or over ice with a lime wedge. It suits barbecue, burgers, spicy chicken wings or salty snacks, where the bright fruit and ginger can offer an easy counterpoint.
Ryes & Shine Pumpkin Spice Moonshine 50 mL
Warm cinnamon rises first, followed by smooth pumpkin and a soft sweep of autumn spice. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with enough spirit warmth to keep the flavours clear rather than confectionary. A mellow, cinnamon-led finish makes this an easy after-dinner pour. Serve lightly chilled, add to hot coffee or use as a small accent in an Old Fashioned; pumpkin pie, shortbread and roasted nuts are natural partners.
Ryes & Shine Pumpkin Spice Moonshine
Ripe pumpkin gives the palate a smooth, gently rounded centre, while cinnamon brings warm aromatic lift. The spice is measured rather than sharp, allowing the soft fruit and warming spirit base to remain balanced through the finish. Serve lightly chilled, over ice or warmed gently with apple cider. It also works naturally in an autumn Old Fashioned, a creamy coffee cocktail or alongside pumpkin pie, ginger cake and toasted pecans.
Ryes & Shine After Dark Coffee Liqueur 50 mL
Cold-brew coffee leads with a deep roasted aroma and smooth, velvety texture. A touch of caramel rounds the darker coffee notes, while the potato-vodka base keeps the palate clean and composed. Gentle warmth builds through the finish, leaving coffee, caramel and subtle toasted sweetness behind. Serve lightly chilled, pour over ice or vanilla ice cream, or use in an Espresso Martini, White Russian or coffee-led Old Fashioned where its roasted character can remain distinct.
Antica Distilleria Russo Nocino Walnut Liqueur
Rich walnut sits at the centre of this traditional Italian liqueur, framed by coffee, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. The palate is dark, earthy and gently sweet, with a measured bitter undertone giving definition to the warm spice. A long, warming finish carries the walnut and coffee notes without becoming heavy. Serve in a small glass after dinner, pour over vanilla gelato, or use sparingly in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan for added nutty depth.
Rebel 100 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A sweet opening aroma gives way to a fuller, more forceful palate, with caramel and vanilla at the centre. Wheat softens the grain profile, but the higher proof brings clear warmth and definition rather than simple sweetness. The finish turns dry, leaving caramelized sugar, vanilla and gentle spice behind. Serve neat, with a few drops of water or over a large cube; it also has enough structure for an Old Fashioned or a bourbon-forward Manhattan.
Ravens Brewing Company Old Familiar English Dark Mild 473 mL
Deep toffee and caramel lead this malt-focused dark mild, joined by roasted hazelnut and a quiet touch of coffee and cocoa. The palate has enough dark-roast depth to feel complete while remaining smooth, restrained and highly drinkable. A gentle grassy hop note keeps the finish from becoming sweet or heavy. Serve cool rather than icy with sausages, meat pie, mushroom dishes, aged cheddar or roasted nuts, where the beer’s subtle malt detail can remain clear.
Georgian Bay Raspberry Rhubarb Vodka Smash
Fresh raspberry brings bright, ripe fruit, while rhubarb adds a tart edge that keeps the palate focused. Lemon lifts the middle, and a smooth Canadian vodka base gives the cocktail a clean, unobtrusive frame. Delicate carbonation carries the fruit into a slightly dry, crisp finish. Serve thoroughly chilled or over ice with a lemon wheel; it pairs neatly with goat cheese, grilled chicken, fish tacos or a summer salad dressed with sharp vinaigrette.
