One of the best new additions to our home base of St. Catharines, Ontario, Bushel and Peck is a neighbourhood farm shop located in trendy Fitzgerald neighbourhood of the city, featuring a chef-curated selection of local and Canadian small batch crafted food and beverage options. Long before they were kind enough to allow Novara to grace their shelves, Bushel and Peck had already captured our attention and filled our bellies. Their 0% bottle shop is a first for the city, and we're very fortunate to counted among the mainstay options in their thoughtful, delicious non-alcoholic lineup. 

With a spell of nice weather to lead us into summer, we couldn't help but swoon over this low-ABV blended beer cocktail featuring Ace Hill's delicious pineapple lager. With a nod to the classic 'Jungle Bird' combination of bitter aperitivo and pineapple, this recipe takes the traditional format to new levels, in a very patio-friendly, crushable format that's big enough to share. 

We see plenty of these in our future this summer. Thanks, ladies!
