We are so grateful to the community of Mission for warmly welcoming us this past week. On Friday July 9th, we officially opened the doors to our newest location, JAK’s Mission!

Summer Sours
The World of Sour Beer is just now getting the comeback it deserves! You're bound to see them across store shelves this summer and they are ideal companions for the summer as they are refreshing and typically low in ABV.
First of all, the term “Sour Beer” isn’t a great term to describe the styles as a whole. Yes, they are more sour than other beer styles, but compared to other beverages like White Wine and Cider, they are actually quite similar. One of the biggest factors that can affect the perceived sourness is the amount of residual sugar left in a drink.
Chenin Blanc – The Foodie’s Friend
Just a month ago it was Chardonnay Day – arguably the Queen of white grapes. Now we are exploring one of the coolest food-friendly varieties with Chenin Blanc. Fresh fruited, mineral, and floral in its youth, Chenin Blanc is also capable of producing ageworthy wines due to its naturally high acidity. As it matures it will gift you with honeyed stone fruits combined with a smoky minerality.

June Tasting Notes
Here are some fun picks to celebrate the onset of summer this month. We added a touch of pink with June 12th being National Rose Day which also happens to coincide with World Gin Day this year. We certainly cannot forget all the wonderful Dad’s out there who I am sure would enjoy a dram at the end of the day. JAK’S is holding its bi-annual Whisky Sale running from June 10th to the 21st and there are some amazing deals to be had for Dad!
Gratitude is in This Season
JAK’s Beer Wine Spirits and collaborative partner, Okanagan Crush Pad, launched its collaborative, limited release 2021 Gratitude Wine Collection with four new varietals. Chardonnay 2018, Rosé 2019, Red 2019 and Bubbles 2019 are now available on JAK’s shelves. This wine was created for our community to share Gratitude with loved ones, and that’s exactly what JAK’s is doing this June.
