Poplar Grove Cascadia Pinot Gris
$28.99
Canadian wine, with a caveat: This is made from Washington-grown fruit to compensate for the disastrous 2024 deep freeze. You're going to see more of this, for many, it was the only alternative to having virtually zero wine in 2024. The palate displays bright acidity with flavours of ripe nectarine, apricot, and citrus. A smooth and refreshing mouthfeel and long, delicate finish balance this classic style of Pinot Gris.
Pivot Spirits Farmer Whisky
$105.99
Made with unmalted barley grown in Lars' fields! Lars is the operator of pivot spirits. This whisky finished in casks that previously held Haskap Fruit Wine. Bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"A homegrown Alberta barley whisky that narrates the story of Southern Alberta agriculture, finished in a Haskap wine barrel from Little Gem Winery in Nobleford, Alberta. This whisky boasts a silky texture and a complex, savory flavor profile. It's truly remarkable what two farmers who ventured into the spirits world can accomplish!"
About Pivot Spirits
Pivot Spirits was founded in 2018 and resides in Rolling Hills, Alberta — about a 30-minute drive south of Brooks. If you zoom in on Rolling Hills from a satellite image on Google Maps you will see where the name Pivot Spirits comes from: all the fields in the area have the tell-tail rounded and circular shape of pivot irrigation. The distillery is co-owned by Lars Hirsch and Rachelle Fiset. Lars is an irrigation farmer with fields just across the roads from the distillery and the distiller as well. Just about all the grain used at Pivot Spirits uses for making Whisky, Gin, and other spirits comes from his fields. The only exception to this is when Lars uses corn, which he gets from his neighbours. Pivot Spirits does not malt or roast any of the grains it uses — it comes directly from the field, is ground down, and made into a mash.

Fromthe Brewery
"We’re always moving forward, even if it’s just to circle back. Since nostalgia could be the only thing that isn’t in short supply right now we though we might kick this IPA back to 2012. Malty, bold, and bitter just like we used to like ‘em."
