Tasting

Alberta grows a great deal of grain and, for most of a century, sent nearly all of it somewhere else. That has changed. There is now a serious distilling industry between here and the foothills, and most of it is still small enough that the person who made the bottle will happily tell you about it.

Five producers, one flight

Bow & Barrel puts five Alberta distillers across the back bar for an evening. A guided flight, a cocktail built from each, and no lecture longer than the pour it belongs to.

Limited seating. Ticketed in advance.
