"Delicately sour, Malus is a balanced blend of carefully selected barrels that aged for a year before a heaping addition of handpicked crabapples, from our own back yard, as well as locally harvested plums and blackberries. This beer then aged on fruit for an additional 6 months giving the wild yeasts from the fruit time to develop. 5.2% ABV" April 21, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm Meet the Merridale makers - Owner and Distiller, Rick Pipes; Master Blender and Distiller, Laurent Lafuente; Chefs & Bakers, Perry North and Duncan Johnston.

We will be tasting Whiskey Jack's, Pear Brandy, and XXO Brandy. Group sizes will be small, giving the opportunity to ask questions in a more intimate setting. At the farmhouse, talk to our chefs and other team members as you explore the art of our cocktails and savour appetizers made from in-house ingredients.

Vessel Liquor, 1609 Fort St, Victoria, BC V8R 1H8, Canada
Most people think lagers are light, pale yellow, nearly flavourless beers, but in fact, there is huge range of variation within the lager category. In this seminar, we will taste a range of lagers that come in a variety of colours and flavour profiles.
Everybody loves a six pack - especially when it saves you money! Pick up a Six Pack of our monthly beer classes and save $5 per ticket. That's only $15 for each class. Packs must be purchased in store, or via email at wine@vesselliquor.com.
