Ah the sweet liquor flows...

But it'll cost ya!



Well, to some extent.



Luckily, Whitehorse is not a dry town, like Pelly 2 hours north or Old Crow (too damn far away to think)

Therefore, we do have our choicest markets of which to imbibe. One liquor store and one independent brewery, Yukon Brewery. The liquor is priced to the hilt as usual, think $22+ for a 2-6 of vodka, $11.50 for 4 pack of beer, $8.00 for a 2-litre of cider. Average. But...they have sales, which is awesome and relatively unheard of in any government liquor store in my experience!

Of course, the booze in restaurants here is charged at a premium, but restaurants will come later.



Yukon Brewery ...

"Beer worth freezing for"

is a fine establishment, a cozy hole in the wall private company that supports the little guys and makes time for customers. Kind of reminds me of Jones Soda, but for beer. They offer tours at 2pm, with all the samples you can handle. And did I mention the tours are free??

Beer isn't very cheap here either, but they do have Growlers, big glass jugs you buy, then pay to fill up, and then it costs $10 a fill up after the initial cost of the $15 growler. Good deal all around. Some beers are only offered Growler-style, like their delicious seasonal Spiced Beer, or summer fare of Birch Beer, light and sweet. Restaurants have contracts with Yukon Brewery and offer specials of specific beers, like Grizzly (like Corona) or Yukon Gold (Amber Ale) at the High Country Inn.



Fill'er up, and consider yourself lucky you don't live in Pelly or Old Crow!
