"LIMITED EDITION IMPERIAL STOUT
Matured in The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve Casks
Vanishing Point 09 has been matured in rare casks from the legendary Strathclyde Grain Distillery - the first time we’ve aged this beer in grain whisky barrels. Known for producing beautifully smooth, approachable whiskies, these casks bring a new dimension of depth and finesse to the beer.
It’s a beer made to savour slowly… but don't blame us if it vanishes quickly!

Hardcha Oolong Tea Yuzu
$3.79
From the Producer,
"What started as a shared vision between four lifelong friends is finally a reality. We looked at the hard tea market and knew something was missing. Real flavor, real ingredients, and a real kick. So, we decided to make it ourselves.
Born and brewed right here in Calgary, HARDCHA is the result of an obsession over taste and quality. We’re blending authentic Asian tea with ingredients like Yuzu and Lychee with a 7% ABV that actually tastes good.
We are proud of our roots, we are proud of this product, and we’re just getting started.
Field House Dolcita Cryo Pils
$5.79
From the Brewery;
"A modern take on a classic beer style. We took a crisp and refreshing pilsner and added a touch of modern dolcita hops that express peach and tropical notes with cryo citra adding a strong citrus character. Balance and bitter with bright expressive aromatics."

Carmes de Rieussec Sauternes
$83.99
Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite since 1984, Rieussec is located in the heart of the Sauternes vineyards. Surrounded by water and nature, the property, with its simple and rigorous architecture, stands out for its free contours. For several generations, the property has been one of the benchmarks of Sauternes, honouring the excellence of know-how and the French art of living. More rigorous sorting of the grapes and fermentation in barrels, as well as a new cellar built in 1989, have resulted in a finer selection of the blend of each Rieussec Cru, where quality undoubtedly prevails over quantity.
Establishment Kool Thing
$23.49
An AI Overview;
"Establishment Kool Thing" refers to Kool Thing, a popular Hazy IPA brewed by The Establishment Brewing Company in Calgary, known for fruity notes of berries and orange. It's also a reference to Kool Thing Vintage, a Vancouver-based vintage clothing store that relocated to Powell River, BC, selling curated retro apparel.

West Coast IPA
Pineapple Tops / Garden Berries / That Sticky Icky
Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Citra, Nelson Hop Kief
A perpetual evolution of the style that started the revolution. This brew is the north star of the modern West Coast IPA, a luminous call answered by a fruit salad burst of strawberry, orange, pineapple, and raspberry. Yet, it remains anchored to its roots by a dank, resinous core of electric lettuce—precisely why you fell in love with the style.
Sons of Vancouver Realms of Rye 3 Mentho
$169.99
Realms of Rye Release 03, was bottled at 59.6% after maturing in ex-Bourbon and new American oak casks. Called 'Mentol & Evergreen',
Producer Description
"The much anticipated third release from the Realms of Rye series, dives deeper into the flavour spectrum of rye grain. This expression was expertly blended by the whisky-making team at Sons of Vancouver Distillery, with barrels carefully chosen and married to evoke vegetal flavours of menthol & evergreen.
"Release 03 ‘Menthol & Evergreen’ provides a stroll through a lush forest of conifers, wild herbs, and dense moss. The character of the rye grain provides notes of eucalyptus, pine needles, dill weed, and sweet grass. Maturation in ex-bourbon and new oak barrels provides a backbone of mint chocolate, green walnut, and cut lumber.
"Following the precise standards set for the Realms of Rye series, all the flavour in this whisky comes from the fermentation, distillation, maturation, and blending process alone."
Uncommon Crab Pear Cider
$28.99
Info from the Bottle,
"In the cider-world, crabapples and pears sit on opposite ends of the spectrum of ingredients. Pears are sweet and subtle, wOKhereas crabapples are intense, bringing layers of flavour and deep dimensions of acidity.
This cider is the perfect marriage between two extremes, one that demonstrates a gestalt wherein the best parts of each shine, creating something better than either component could be alone."
