SLAKE x BURDOCK- 12 TAP TAKEOVER!

This Thursday Oct 3rd FROM 5pm

Slake and Burdock got together, twice, and created
Lake Burd Rice Lager at Slake, and Burd Lake Corn Lager at Burdock. Maybe just because they're pals, but also maybe to celebrate a certain someone's upcoming Birthday...
*Hint* it rhymes with Lake.
We'll have both collabs ON TAP and a bunch more from each brewery! No hint needed, it's 12!

SEE YOU THERE!

SECOND EDITION of our bottle pour nights! Avling Kitchen & Brewery will be here next Friday (the 15th), with a selection of four their barrel aged beauties! We’re popping open bottles of the good stuff and offering by the glass pours from 6-9pm. The bottles themselves will also be discounted for the evening, so you can enjoy one at the bar, or take home two, or three... or all four... they make great gifts! Come taste and learn all about these amazing Farmhouse Ales. If you’re intimidated by new styles or bottles in general, this is totally for you!! They’re really approachable, and drinkable, and we’re just so smitten! Can’t wait to share them with you!
We’re pouring:
Orpheus- Tastes like citrus and springtime! Made with marigolds and orange wine skins.
Violet Moon- Beautiful berry flavours burst from the glass. Made with Ontario blue plum and Grammy wine skins.
Sangfroid- Made with Cab Sauv skins and honey. Just a stunner!
Pale Fire- Perfectly peachy, nice and dry, and oh so spritzy.
We also have a tap feature, and are offering mini flights to be enjoyed with your bottle pour. Perfect Friday evening if you ask me. See you there!
