About this Event
Small Gods Brewing presents the fourth volume of the Sidney Speakeasy, one night only in our taproom. Chef Colton Armstrong-Ashley of Savour the Wild cooks four snacks, and our Taproom Manager, Katie Slacks, pairs them with cocktails made from Holocene Distilling Project spirits.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Four-Course Snack Menu from Chef Colton Armstrong-Ashley of Savour the Wild
Colton is the head chef and founder of Savour the Wild, which hosts multi-course private dinners in remote coastal corners of British Columbia. His menus follow the season and the water, featuring wild-caught seafood, foraged ingredients, and produce from local farms. The idea behind it all is simple: strangers turn into friends once they're sharing a good meal. For Vol. 4, Colton brings that spirit indoors to Third Street, with four snacks that he'll plate and present to our guests himself.
Custom Cocktail Pairings with Holocene Distilling Project
Holocene was founded in Cobble Hill by an engineer & a herbalist, Dorian Redden and Aisling Goodman, and makes its gin, vodka, and botanical liqueurs from scratch on Vancouver Island. Their Honey, I'm Home gin was named Best in Class Flavoured Gin at the Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition in both 2025 and 2026. Our very own Taproom Manager, Katie Slacks, is designing an à la carte cocktail menu around Holocene's spirits, with drinks matched to each of Colton's snacks.
