Beer & Refreshments

It’s said that the first Italian beer was created in pre-Roman times. Well, whoever first got the barrel rolling; it was the Menabrea family who endeavoured to perfect the craft. In 1846, Giuseppe Menabrea travelled to the town of Biella, in the foothills of the Italian Alps. There he discovered an underground cave system, ideal for the traditional process of ‘lagering’. Combined with the incredibly pure water and cold fresh air of the region, it was the perfect location to build a brewery. Should you visit Biella today, you’ll still find Menabrea brewing their award-winning beer on the same site, made in the same way, by the same family, with the same ingredients, passion and care.

Two straight-laced business guys from London, Ontario who are clearly not into music have a great idea. They make their own pop and sell it out of their own stores. They figure that without a middleman, they can sell their amazing pop at an even more amazing price to their customers and bam! “The Pop Shoppe” is born. So they miss Woodstock and probably all of the most legendary summer in history. Big deal. From the returnable bottles affectionately called stubbies to mixing and matching from original flavours Lime Ricky, Black Cherry, Sparkle Up and Festival Dry, their great idea and personal choice not to attend a really cool concert creates a North American cultural icon that will become synonymous with growing up.

The first old fashioned was served in 1806. How do you improve a 200 year old classic ? You don’t. We use real Canadian Whisky, natural orange and bitter flavours to create a bold taste that isn’t too sweet.
