With Halloween just around the corner, there?s plenty of news when it comes to the local drinks scene and spirits ? even if they?re not very spooky?
In all the buzz around the new local breweries and brew pubs that have been opening/getting ready to open, there?s one aspect to the loosening of the restrictions around such facilities that has flown under the radar ? the spirits component.
The easing up of the regulations also pertained to distilleries, and in the past week Capital K, ?Manitoba?s first craft distillery? (as its website notes) delivered its first shipment of product to Manitoba Liquor Marts.
