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.

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.
Tropic of Cowichan - Turns out coconut and Grand Fir tips are long lost best friends, blending sweet tropical notes with savoury citrus and lime.
We stock premium hand crafted cocktails from Provincial Spirits out of Port Coquitlam.
Apricot, Lemon & Vodka Sour - Sour lemon and vodka kick up this citrus forward cocktail featuring fresh apricot juice. We add a hint of almond to bring balance to the final concoction.
Passionfruit, Orange, Guava and Vodka - This tropical concoction takes you to exotic places without going overboard. A vibrant blend of real fruit and craft vodka.
Wine is served by the half bottle. Each bottle is 375ml which is the equivalent to two 6oz glasses.
