Duchesse de Bourgogne
$6.19
From Brouwerij Verhaeghe Vichte, this is THE classic Flanders sour. This Flemish brown has a cider-like tartness with a nice rich, and lightly sweet malty body. Though through and through, this is a funky sour. 6.2% ABV
From The Producer
"Duchesse de Bourgogne” is an West-Flemish red brown ale of mixed fermentation. It is a sweet-fruity ale with a pleasant fresh aftertaste. This ale is brewed with roasted malts and with hops with a low bitterness. After the main fermentation and the lagering , the “Duchesse de Bourgogne” matures further for many months in oak casks. The tannins in the oak give the “Duchesse de Bourgogne” its fruity character. “Duchesse de Bourgogne” has a full, sweet and fresh taste : it is a ruby red jewel of 6.2 % alc. vol., that best is served in a chalice-shaped glass between 8 and 12°C."
Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout Tall Can
$4.89
Better than Guinness - and it's not even close!
Silky, sweet and goes down easy! Wonderful chocolate notes all over this milk stout. The addition of lactose gives just enough sweetness to really round out the style and provide just enough sweetness to lift the cocao notes and stand up to the bitterness on the finish. A very well balanced stout!

Cotswolds Founder`s Choice Single Malt
$124.99
A small handful of casks were selected from Cotswolds founder Daniel Szor's personal favorites. 'Uniquely active casks' were intentially targeted, to ensure a rich and expressive single malt. These were STR (shaved, toasted, recharred) American red wine casks which, as we can all agree, is the only way to use wine casks for maturing whisky.
Kidding.
Sort of. ;)
Natural colour, non chill-filtered, and bottled at 60.5%.

Montalto Tuerong Pinot Noir
$84.99
A highly aromatic wine displaying immense complexity. Blackberry and kirsch notes combine with graphite, cherry, and earthy undertones. There’s a whole-bunch floral and fragrant perfume hovering together with some subtle dried herbs, black olive and root vegetables. The palate is structured but shows restraint and elegance as the saturating fruits dissolve into the savoury finish.
Piron Beaujolais Blanc
$31.99
Dominique Piron’s family has been growing grapes here since the 16th century, and Dominique took over the estate in 1971. Piron farms 45 hectares of vineyards scattered among several different crus in Beaujolais, namely Morgon, Chénas, Brouilly, Régnié and Moulin-à-Vent. He owns some parcels, rents others, and also buys 20 hectares worth of carefully selected grapes from their neighbours. Regardless of where the grapes are sourced, Piron is responsible for every aspect of quality control from the vineyard management to the marketing of the finished wine. They take such great care of each of their crus that even the simple Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages wines are carefully selected from single-vineyard parcels. Each of their terroirs is unique, yet they are all granite-based soils—the ideal grounding for the Gamay grape. Piron farms sustainably, although he has also been experimenting with organic methods to achieve a rich biodiversity in the vineyards.
