ABV 6.3% IBU 17

The  2021  Gold  Medal  Winning  Belgian  Pale  Ale (Canadian Brewing Awards)!!  This Belgian style beer is brewed with a  ton of caramelized honey. Clove, bubble gum and slight banana flavours and aromas  will bring you to the fields where honey is made! No bees were harmed while making this beer.

7. No. 7 Steam Beer

ABV 5%
What is a steam beer? It is a lager that is fermented at a temperature that is higher than traditionally fermented lagers and this coaxes out more flavours from the malt! This is a collaborative Brew with the heritage society. The No 7 steam engine has been restored by a dedicated team of engineers and one day we hope it will resume its travels between the old train station in MacLean Mill. You will find this beer has notes of toffee, crème brûlée and very light coffee.

8. Limesickle IPA

ABV 7.1% IBU 14

A dessert style IPA brewed with real lime zest, lime juice and vanilla beans! So creamy and smooth this IPA will remind you of a lime popsicle filled with ice cream! Contains lactose.

9. Coastal Haze

5% abv 50ibu

Classic and modern IPA styles intertwine with the use of chinook and sabro hops. Notes of pine, summer fruit and honey make this hazy little IPA big on flavour

10. Stouty Mcstoutface

4.6% abv

 Stouty Mcstoutface is a creamy oatmeal stout brewed with flaked oats and a ridiculous amount of chocolate malts, caramel malts and Munich malts. Rich tasting with medium body. Low bitterness.

11. New Zealand Style Pilsner S.M.a.S.H

4.4% abv 26ibu

What is a SMaSH? It's a Single Malt and Single Hop beer! In this recipe we combined only Pilsner malt and Waimea hops from New Zealand to create a very light and refreshing pilsner that boasts of red apple and lime zest. Dry hopped with Waimea hops as well so it's got a pretty haze too!

12. Leaving Tsunami Hazard Zone

4.7% abv 50ibu

An updated version of the original LTHZ recipe. Belgian yeast and a different hop bill makes this IPA a session white IPA. Papaya, mango and pineapple notes accompanied by pepper and a little citrus. Light and refreshing!

Other beverages

Valley Cider Company - $9

Valley Cider is located in the Cowichan valley here on Vancouver Island. Valley specializes in small batch specialty cider.


Noir -  Our own blackberries, plus black cherries and black grapes blended with 16-month-aged handcrafted cider... all the juicy darkness we could fit into the bottle. A very subtle sherry note in the cider helps highlight a deliciously natural sour on the finish. All natural sweetness that doesn't become cloying or dull your senses to the berry/cherry character growing as you enjoy it. 


Love Potion -  Kinda tastes like you want to stare into someone's eyes for a while. Rose petals, lavender and damiana fuse into flavors which are more than the sum of their parts: floral on the nose, and more savory (think basil & ginger) on the palate. May be magical, and at the very least uniquely delicious. 


Blanco -  Best enjoyed while dreaming of somewhere you should have visited a long time ago. Deliciously vinous cider aged six months with American oak elicits an ambrosial tapestry of caramel & vanilla, touched by a hint of cherry. The smoked wood character up front is what you avoid in wine but we believe is the Grail of oaking in cider.

 

Humulus Lupulus - Hopped cider.


Poiple -  Crisp dry handcrafted cider, blueberries, lemon zest and cinnamon, made radiant with butterfly pea blossoms. A unique pleasure to the eye and palate, and sultry as a pair of velvet pants. You don’t have to admit it to anyone, but you’re thinking about velvet pants now aren’t you? This is that good. 


Wait What? -  Pairs wonderfully with watching clouds pass by and not caring 'why'. Off-dry, medium sparkle. Originally named for the experience of starting a cidery, and now in its second incarnation a reflection of blending wild-fermented Tremlett's Bitter cider with our late-harvest BC apples. 


Bon Dri -  Pure. Apple. Cider. Pairs perfectly with any part of your day or night that you want to last just a little bit longer. Absolutely zero sweetness and aged for over 16 months. Deliciously light vinous character, a delicate Prosecco-like sparkle, and unmistakable knochentroken. 


Gingerella -  The luscious aromatics of fresh ginger, teased with kisses of cardamom, peppermint and caramelized gingered apple juice, blended with cider fermented with yeast that enhances Chardonnay characteristics. All you need now is... well, let’s be honest, that really is all that anyone needs.

 

Cherry Bomb -  Dry vinous cider, Carmenere grapes, Triple Pearl dry-hopped, and blended with hibiscus and sour cherry, creating a... well, why spoil the surprise? I will say that the notes of Dr Pepper were a bit of a shocker. 


Little Miss Malbec - Valley Cider's neighbors Malbec grapes and their own blackberries and rosemary... It really seemed meant to be. Both subtle and satisfying. Tastes like reminiscing about the Cowichan Valley with a charming Argentine over a wonderful dinner on a Greek island.


Froot Juice - Resplendent with juicy notes of summer's strawberry and watermelon, yet startlingly off-dry. Tastes like lazing in a park, eyes filled with blue skies, smiling into a warm evening breeze and wondering why you don't have more days like these with nothing to do and nowhere to be.


Provincial Ready To Drink Cocktail - $8

We stock premium hand crafted cocktails from Provincial  Spirits  out of Port Coquitlam.   


Passion Fruit, Orange, Guava and Vodka - This tropical concoction takes you to exotic places without going overboard. A vibrant blend of real fruit and craft vodka. 

Spruce Tip, Vanilla & Gin - Forest bathing is a thing... Don't be fooled, these tips don't smell like a spruce tree; they offer a delicate fusion of honeydew melon and citrus with a hint of resinous aroma. 


Gin and Grapefruit Juice -  Gin and juice are quite the iconic duo. They’re basically the Thelma & Louise of the beverage world, minus that whole cliff part. Although if you think about it, this cocktail does start off light and lead to a surprisingly dramatic finish (spoiler alert). Bright juniper forward gin and plucky citrus botanicals hold hands as they take you to the edge of your palate. 

The Wine

Wine is served by the half bottle. Each bottle is 375ml which is the equivalent to two 6oz glasses.


REDS

J. Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon, California, 13.5% abv, 2019 - $17

      The 2019 J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon is dense and dark at the core, with a brilliant garnet hue around the rim. Ripe fruit aromas of black cherry and currant are accented by notes of toasted pastry, hazelnut, and vanilla from our barrel aging program. Big, juicy red-fruit flavors infuse the palate while softly textured tannins lead to a long finish. Extra Dry.

Masi Campofiorin Red Blend, Italy, 13% abv, 2018 - $16

      Deep ruby red colour; lifted, savory aromas of figs and spices; the palate is dry, medium-bodied with dominating flavours of dried fruit - figs, cherries, with a nice backbone of spice; medium tannins are supple and the finish is medium. Extra Dry.


WHITES

J. Lohr Chardonnay, California, 14% abv, 2020 - $17

       The 2020 Riverstone Chardonnay exhibits youthful hues of light straw. The enticing aromas are reminiscent of ripe orange, peach, cocoa, and baking spices. The rich texture and balance on the palate from barrel aging sur lie offers flavors of ripe pear, apricot, citrus cream, hazelnut, and a hint of oak on the long finish. Dry.

 Santa Margherita Pino Grigio, Italy, 12% abv, 2021, - $17 

      Vintages releases thousands of wines each year, and this is consistently a top seller. It put Pinot Grigio on the map with its refreshing quince, nuts, yellow pear and fresh pastry notes. Extra Dry.
