WHAT’S NEW

STRAIGHT UP

New Product Showcase In this roundup of new products at the LCBO, we explore global trends. The latest ready-to-drink (RTD) innovation is single-serve, straight-up beverages in 100-mL cans. Look for exciting flavours from Quebec’s Amour Liquide and Scotland’s Whitebox Cocktails. We’re also seeing sours trending, including a Chilean Pisco Sour and a locally made Absinthe Sour. Finally, the no-buzz phenomenon has taken off Down Under, where Not Guilty launched a de-alcoholized sparkling wine.

GLOBAL SIPS It’s a Trap!

Brewed by monks, Trappist beers are some of the most coveted and highly rated on the planet. They’re full-bodied ales with a rich, creamy texture, bold flavours and a higher alcohol content, sometimes pushing 10 per cent. They are primarily made in Belgium, though some, like La Trappe, come from the Netherlands. Bonus: some of the profits from Trappist beers go to the monks’ charitable causes. La Trappe Blonde, LCBO 41114, 330 mL, $4.50; Rochefort 8, LCBO 676569, 330 mL, $5.35, Westmalle Tripel, LCBO 676577, 330 mL, $5.60
