  4. Monitoring

    2 infractions

    • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
      • Observation(s): Chlorine test strips are to be obtained in order to assess sanitizer concentration. The appropriate ratio (1 tsp to a litre water) and color of strip (medium to dark purple) required was demonstrated for application to food contact surfaces at the time of inspection.
    • F2.2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?
      • Observation(s): A number of flies was noted on the premises. At the time of inspection, both the door at the retail front and the large garage doors at the processing end were wide open. We discussed the importance of excluding pest entry. No visible signs of rodent infestation were noted. Operator indicated that doors are being kept open as they are doing a major clean of the processing area. The front end is open due to lack of AC. Consider installing a screen door at the retail end if doors must be kept open for ventilation. Keep garage door closed as much as possible. Snap traps are in place for preventative rodent control. Consider installing fly tape to eradicate existing fly population. Do not install fly tape over food handling/processing areas.

    I tried a bunch of free samples at Creative Chaos in Vernon courtesy of After Dark Distillery. The espresso, hazy café, and root beer flavours of the Highland Shine were my favourites (particularly the root beer and espresso flavours). The vendor was kind as well. I don't know if I will make it to their physical location, but I look forward to making room in my budget to purchase a bottle at next year's Creative Chaos.

    The owner was very welcoming and friendly. He took the time to tell us about his product and helped us pick the right flavor of Moonshine. Don't pass through without stopping by!

  • Kevin Baxter

    Great place with some great drinks. We had a few drinks of the menu which were delicious. My wife loved the Mule. Bought the Espresso moonshine and Haskap berry vodka on our way out. Guy and Gal running the place were so friendly. Thanks

  • CM

    Cute little place with outstanding customer service. The owner served my family and was friendly, informative and attentive. If you haven't had it, the rootbeer moonshine is an absolute smash!

  • Nicole Yamanaka

    Lovely spot for a bit of moonshine and hand crafted drinks! Really clean, cute facility with a little patio outside to enjoy your drink. I think the owner liked my sister in law because she got a lil extra in all her tasters and drink haha. We each left with a bottle of something. If you're passing Sicamous or staying for a few days and like booze, definitely put this place on your visit list.

  • Jerine Klassen

    We bought the Monashee Mountain Whiskey, Raspberry Vodka and Copper Island Gin. The whiskey is smooth and very tasty, love the vodka and gin as well. The owner and his wife were fabulous in sharing their experience and what they do have have accomplished. Will definitely be back for more!

  • Léna Lepage

    Exceptional spirits, an incredibly well-run family business, and owners who are truly professional, friendly, and welcoming. I can only recommend this place. Thank you, and please keep doing what you do ! It is simply outstanding.

  • Nicole Mortimer

    Caesar and Moscow Mule were both amazing! Whiskey was also very good. Dean, owner/operator/distiller, shared, in detail, about the whole distilling process. Fascinating! He's doing everything part of the process right there and doing it well!

  • Alisha McDonald

    We were just driving through and decided to stop in! So glad we did! The owner was there and was super friendly and helpful. I only went because my significant other wanted to and I didn't expect to get anything. The owner encouraged me to try the pickle moonshine and so glad I did!!! If you are a ceaser lover like me you NEED this haha

  • Brittney Kroiss

    This place is great! We tried a number of samples and had a hard time choosing which is a testament to their quality and how delicious they all were. We had a fantastic experience. We'll be back and also look forward to stocking up at the farmers markets in Metro Van!

    This place rocks , I have been buying their product for years and really enjoy it ! hard to pick a favorite flavour . This family run distillery always take the time to ensure all customers get the whole distillery tour with free samples before you buy.

  • Rhonda Gray

    The coffee flavored moonshine; was my favorite of the whiskeys I have sampled. Having toured the wineries in the region, and one cidery, to find a moonshine distillery was an unexpected surprise. I will definitely return on my next trip out that way.

  • J and K Bell

    After eating at the burner just east of Sycamous we decided to visit the distillery that made a vodka in its name... to my delight we found a quaint little spot unassuming of a distillery. Various moonshine flavours and a vodka that’ll put …
