Callister Craft Soda - Spruce & Hops

About the drink:

This soda is flavoured with locally-foraged spruce tips and whole leaf hops. The spruce tips, which are packed with naturally occurring vitamin C, lend bright citrusy notes while the hops offer a bit of texture, grassiness, and green melon notes. A fruity/herbal delight.  

About the brand: 

Callister Craft Soda grew out of Callister Brewing, Canada's first collaborative brewery - a brewery incubator of sorts where several of BC's best loved breweries got their start. Callister co-owner Diana started making ginger beer and tonic water to serve in the tasting room, and the sodas were such a hit was clear they had to scale up. 

Now, the brewery component of Callister is no more, but the soda business is thriving. Their fun lineup of flavours uses real fruit and real botanicals for a truly 'craft' option if you're looking for a sweet treat. Their fun flavours are crushable on their own or can be used for mixing.
