PRICE: $79 (+ HST)

The Canadian whisky market is the most exciting in the world today!

So declares Stephen Beaumont, award-winning drinks writer and author or co-author of fifteen books on spirits and beer, and he is coming to Bar Hop on June 10 to prove it!

Far from a simple spirit designed mainly for mixing, Canadian whisky in the 2020s is Speyside-worthy single malts, ground-breaking bourbon-style whiskies, unique 100% rye formulations, innovative blends and cask finishes, and a whole lot more besides. 

Join Stephen as he takes you on a journey through modern Canadian whisky. Learn why British Columbia is leading the way in craft distilling, discover delicious farm-to-glass whiskies, and find out why Canadians have no reason to mourn the absence of US bourbons from our liquor stores. You’ll be treated to samples of six whiskies from such notable distilleries as Okanagan Spirits, Eau Claire, and Forty Creek, plus a welcome cocktail, a plate of complementary foods to nibble on while you taste, and perhaps a surprise or two!

Don’t miss out on this opportunity! Grab your tickets now to secure your spot! And warm up your palate on this cross-country tasting tour 🥃 🍁
