Glengoyne 18y with Dan, Bowick & Steph

Odd Society Wallflower Oaken Gin with Steph
Odd Society Wallflower Oaken Gin. 100% British Columbian grown gin, aged in oak barrels. A pretty interesting idea. One issue we see a lot with craft gins is the mash/swamp […]

Cameron’s Brewing Where The Buffalo Roam Barley Wine with Steph
Man, am I a sucker for packaging. I think it stems from being a deeply superficial person, pun intended superficially. I will 100% cop to the gold label grabbing me […]

Beyond The Pale with Trevor & Steph
Okay, so this review is actually three reviews. Or five. Or one review interrupted part-way through with another review. It’ll all make sense as you read it. Beyond the Pale […]
