Something for everyone arrived in July! It was a busy month with new arrivals streaming in every week. We could barely keep up! We’re definitely seeing a trend in farmhouse ales happening, epitomized by the great success of the recent Farmhouse Fest in Vancouver.
Killer IPAs have become a BC mainstay! Our latest BEER MAIL package is a celebration of the many interesting ways Canadian brewers are crafting this favourite style. It represents many of the new trends in IPAs from Brett/wild IPAs (Howe Sound & Phillips) with their funky/fruity notes to “milkshake” IPAs (R&B) brewed with lactose for a smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, great fruit notes and low bitterness. There’s even an old-school IPA from Quebec (Le Castor) and a highly regarded Victoria Imperial IPA (Lighthouse) brewed with a different hop variety. If you’re a fan of IPAs, this BEER MAIL has nearly every style covered. You’ll get 12 large-format bottles for just $105.5 + shipping.
And we have extended our offer of expedited shipping via Canada Post for only $25—anywhere in BC!
Remember, this box will only be available for two weeks, or until it’s sold out.
All are large-format 650ml bottles (except where noted) and you’ll get two bottles of each beer. Sorry, no substitutions.
Please note: Beer Mail orders can only be accepted from BC addresses. Orders must be placed during our hours of operation (10 am to 9 pm, 7 days a week), per liquor control and licensing terms and conditions.
Last week we had an unusual number of German-style gose beers, this week it was all about the brett-fermented wild ales. Lots of funky brews in stock now, especially the two rarities from Townsite—Bois Sauvage Wild Ale #1 and Bois Sauvage Assemblage #1—which were previously only available in the Powell River brewery’s tasting room.
The “theme” for the latest arrivals was oddly enough goses (a sour German beer brewed with coriander and a touch of salt) and IPAs. Crazy, huh? We actually tasted four goses, but only currently have the three below in stock. Well, we also have Driftwood’s Cry Me a River.
We’re back to 650ml bombers for our latest BEER MAIL package, and this time we’ve put together a nice group of special wheat beers. On one side you get the strong German-style Weizenbocks from Steel + Oak, Moon Under Water and Driftwood and on the other, some tart and refreshing sours from Ravens, Parallel 49 and Dageraad. Wheat finds its way into many different kinds of beers, but we took two very different styles to illustrate what it can offer. In weizenbocks you get a creamier mouthfeel and thick head, while wheat can help add a bit of a citrus tang in sours. For this wheat-centric Beer Mail you’ll get 12 large-format bottles for just $104.5 + shipping.

It’s hot out and our fridges are loaded with COLD craft beer (and cider and wine). Not everything listed below is chilled, but plenty is. The new brews we’ve been receiving lately are perfectly suited for the sunny weather and soaring temperatures. One that’s especially good that’s new is the Spinnakers Raspberry Lager in 4pk tall cans. That + the beach = bliss.
An interesting week for new releases. We’re always excited to get new cider from Faustino Cidery in the Okanagan and these two arrivals—Apple Plum and Apple Blueberry—are as exceptional as all of their lineup. Great flavour, wonderful balance and perfect carbonation—like a fine sparkling wine.
As Cook Street Village’s favourite mom and pop liquor store, we don’t have the budget for full-colour sale flyers or newspaper ads touting our latest sales. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t have a lot of price reductions at any given time. We currently have some great product in every single category—craft beer, wine and spirits—at reduced prices (see below).
Well, this week is a wonderful mixed bag of styles! We’re excited to have more dry-hopped sours roll in from Powell and To Øl, which is a style—when done well—that’s a great, refreshing summer drink, with tons of flavour. Though it’s seasonally a bit off the mark, we’re also stoked to have our first beer (a wonderful, strong milk stout) from Kentucky brewery Against the Grain.
Craft beer in cans is a growing trend and we decided to try something different for our latest BEER MAIL package. Instead of 12 650ml bombers, we’ve packed four different 4-pks of tall cans (473ml each) into this one. More and more limited run brews are released this way and two of the four included in this—the Yellow Dog collaborations—are hard-to-find releases. Additionally, the Steel Toad and Central City IPAs are regular releases, but not widely distributed. And, believe it or not, you’ll get nearly the same amount of beer as our 12 x 650ml packages (7.57L vs. 7.8L), at a fraction of the price. Plus, since cans are lighter, we can offer reduced shipping cost. In this special package you’ll get four tall can 4-pks for just $68 + shipping!
And since cans are lighter, you get expedited shipping via Canada Post for only $20—anywhere in BC!
Remember, this box will only be available for two weeks, or until it’s sold out.
All 4-pks include 473ml cans. You get one (1) 4-pk of each beer listed below. No substitutions.
