GOODS: Gastown’s “Pourhouse” Making Holiday Glogg & Flipping Eggnogs To Order

Pourhouse is located at 162 Water Street in Gastown | Vancouver, BC | 604-568-7022 | www.pourhousevancouver.com

The GOODS from Pourhouse

Vancouver, BC | Visit Pourhouse over the holidays and experience the wonderful scent of old?fashioned holiday mulled wine and the decadence of rich creamy flips. Mulled wine dates back to the 17th Century and was, like many wonderful things, discovered by happenstance and experimentation. It was originally created to delay spoilage and improve the taste of stale wine, but, by the 18th Century, most cultures had developed traditions surrounding mulled wine and began to refine their recipes. For the holiday season, Pourhouse is featuring Glogg ? a Nordic style mulled wine consisting of red wine, port, brandy, orange, raisins, almonds and holiday spices. It’s served warm and fills your senses with cinnamon, cloves and citrus.

The Flip is a traditional libation, pre?dating the original cocktail. Its name originates from the creation process – a red?hot fire poker was inserted into a mixture of sugar, molasses, spices and rum causing the sugar to caramelize and the mixture to froth, or ‘flip’. The most well?known and popular flip is the traditional Egg Nog – made to order at Pourhouse using 8?year old Appleton Rum, a whole organic egg, heavy cream, raw sugar and a dash of grated nutmeg.

GOODS: Pourhouse Making “The Stenson” In Support Of An American Barman In Need

Pourhouse is located at 162 Water St. in Vancouver, BC | 604-568-7022 | www.pourhousevancouver.com

The GOODS from Pourhouse

Vancouver, BC | Pourhouse has re-introduced a favourite cocktail, the Stenson, and is donating $2 from each sold to help raise money for an amazing man – well-loved Seattle bartender Murray Stenson. Pourhouse Bar Managers Christopher Flett and Jon Ledwidge made a journey to Seattle years ago in order to learn about the city’s cocktail scene. They went not knowing what to expect or who they would meet. They ended up at Murray Stenson’s bar and built a friendship that would help guide their growth as bartenders. There are countless others in Vancouver whose careers have been influenced by Murray. Ask any bartender in town and they’ll tell you the impact Murray has had on them. He helped mold not only barmen and women, but shaped an entire culture of discerning palates, and did so with great humility.

Tragically, Murray has recently been diagnosed with a heart condition that has left him unable to work and requiring heart surgery. As he lives in the USA where medical expenses can be exorbitant, bars and bartenders across North America (and worldwide) are uniting to raise funds for his operation. Pourhouse invites you to come in and have a drink in Murray Stenson’s honour; to toast the man who has greatly influenced what bartenders do and aspire to be, and to help a man that means so much to so many people. “The Stenson” was created in homage to Murray when he announced his potential retirement last year. “When I met Murray I did not yet understand the process of making classic cocktails,” says Flett. “Yet he still treated me with the same level of generosity and respect that a peer or equal would. That was Murray. My path to maturing as a bartender would have been greatly inhibited were it not for the friendship that followed. I have always maintained that Murray’s bar would still be full, even if he made bad cocktails. This is because Murray is not just a great bartender, but a great individual…gracious and welcoming. There is something here that many aspiring bartenders should take note of. Read more

Vancouver, BC | Over the holidays and the entire month of December, Pourhouse will be celebrating the season with a traditional libation that pre-dates the original cocktail – the ‘flip’. Flips first appeared in literature during the first decade of the 19th Century. Like a sour or a fizz, flips consist of spirit, sugar and spice. What makes a flip special is the addition of a fresh, whole egg. Of course, the most well-known and popular flip served at the Pourhouse is the traditional egg nog – made to order using 8 year old appleton rum, a whole organic egg, heavy cream and raw sugar, it is shaken vigorously to emulsify the egg and finished with aromatic grated nutmeg. Try one of these other classic flips at the Pourhouse… Read more
