Collective Arts Life in the Clouds
$4.22
Just one more sample of Collective Arts IPA to add to that delicious pile. Simcoe and Mosaic make this as punchy with juice as you'd expect. The hazy, delicate body keeps that hoppy mess in balance (the good kind of hoppy mess), and remains incredibly crushable.
Jasper Crisp Pils Singles
$2.42
Empress 1908 Gin
$51.29
Tinted with the iconic butterfly pea blossom, this indigo coloured gin is a delicate starting point for any gin-fueled night. Extremely clean on the nose, elegant to the point of shyness, the Empress offers an easy going nature for any gin drinker.

Tantalus Maija Pinot Noir
$47.59
Since 2004, Tantalus has been crafting a focused portfolio of wines made with intention and authenticity, and guided by good land stewardship. With some of the country’s oldest vinifera plantings at the backbone of their home estate, Tantalus has carved out a reputation as a top riesling, syrah,chardonnay, and pinot noir producer both in Canada, and abroad. In the glass, it offers a lifted aromatic profile of rose petal, violets, and sweet thyme—evoking a summer garden in full bloom. Hints of wild herbs, subtle citrus oil, and pomegranate add complexity and freshness. The palate is taut and quietly powerful, with notes of young blackberry, baking spice, and blood orange. There’s a brooding quality to this vintage—structure over plushness—with fine-grained tannins and a gently persistent finish.
Wild Life Distillery Gin 750ml
$49.49
Wild Life gin is produced by Wild Life distillery in the scenic mountain town of Canmore. "The obvious overproof of 43.3% abv. allows the nose & body of the gin to stand up in a martini or a cocktail without getting lost in solution."
From the Producer: "Wild Life Gin embodies balance. Juniper and citrus notes on the nose: these pop right out of the glass. Fresh lemon and blood orange lead the way, with classic juniper and coriander close behind. Then the unmistakeable texture of our grain base spirit shines through the middle palate. The finishing spices come through at the end in the back of the mouth completing the trio:Nose, body, finish: check, check & check."

Spirit Hills Saskwatch
$29.74
From Spirit Hills;
"On the nose: black currants, oak, vanilla, smoky tones
On the palate: friendly black currant arrival, but backed with intriguing body and balanced with smokey and peppery tones. Great length and unmatched smoothness.
Food Pairings: Red meats, specifically wild game, lamb, Alberta beef or duck. Because of its smoothness also good with spicy foods like Mexican, Indian or Caribbean. Also pairs well with cheese and given the right side foods could do well with white meats when berries are involved.
Served: at room temperature
Process: Wildflower honey, water and crushed black currants of specifically selected varieties are fermented with a champagne yeast and stored in medium toasted Hungarian wine barrels for 9 months to 1 year.
14.0% ABV.
Spirit Hills Dande Honey Mead
$29.74
Dandelion mead from Alberta! (It's made near Millarville!) "Many of us had a family member who made Dandelion wine. It was the settler's wine in a grape-less province and speaks to the resourcefulness of those who built this country. But make no mistake, it was not an inferior product, our ancestors valued quality and good taste. Dandelion wine is exquisite and unique in taste. It is a medium-dry wine, best served chilled. It smells of pastures full of wildflowers, the fresh morning dew, and the delicate texture of its golden flower petals. It arrives on your tongue, fresh like the awakening foothills, warms you up like the sunshine and leaves you with an earthy sensation of embrace. It is mysterious, grounding and lingers in the mouth with a taste for more. It is the ultimate white wine adventure. So seducing and mysterious that even beer drinkers become fans," according to the Spirit Hills team.
