The Barley Merchant

D A D’ S D A Y • A day to celebrate the dads, stepdads, grandpas, father figures, mentors, and all the incredible people who show up in those roles every single day.

This Father’s Day, we’ve put together a few ways to treat the guy who somehow taught us that fixing things, grilling meat, and having a good beer can solve almost anything.

On tap today, we’re pouring Dad Beer West Coast Pilsner from Foamers' Folly Brewing Co. Co.⁠ — and because dads deserve a little something extra, every dad leaves with a special treat because let’s be honest… who doesn’t love beer & cookies?

For the main event, we’re featuring a Prosciutto Wrapped Beef Tenderloin served with pomme purée and seasonal vegetables.

Looking to really spoil dad?
Start with a flight of local BC craft beer, or sip on a Maple Old Fashioned made with premium British Columbia whisky.

Good food. Great drinks. Better company.

See you at The Barley Merchant Taproom & Kitchen⁠ today.

B C W H I S K Y • BC whisky deserves more attention.

For a long time, when people thought about great whisky, their minds naturally went elsewhere. Scotland, Kentucky, Ireland and Japan.

Places with long histories, familiar names, and shelves full of bottles people already know. Those regions have earned their reputations.

That said, something very real has been happening here in British Columbia.

Across this province, small distilleries have been quietly building a whisky identity of their own.

Working with local grain, BC agriculture, coastal air, mountain water, orchard influence, wine barrels, copper stills, patient aging, creative cask finishes, and a level of craftsmanship that deserves to be taken seriously.

This is not novelty whisky. This is not “local, so let’s be nice.”

BC whisky has grown into a genuinely respected category, with producers making single malts, ryes, corn-based whiskies, peated expressions, cask strength releases, wine barrel finishes, and bottles that can stand proudly beside much more familiar names from around the world.

That is exactly why our BC whisky program exists.

At The Barley Merchant, we believe there is world class liquid being made here by real people, in our communities, and it deserves to be poured, talked about, compared, respected, and supported.

There will always be room in the whisky world for bourbon, Scotch, Irish whiskey, Japanese whisky, and the famous global brands, but there should also be room for the bottle made a few hours away by a small team putting everything they have into their craft.

BC whisky is no longer asking for permission to be part of the conversation…It is already there and we’re here to help you join the conversation as we shine a little more light on it.
