Endless Choices With the Flights of The Forks Market

Flights! What's a flight? A flight is the freedom from commitment. 

Essentially, it's a sampler of multiple kinds of deliciousness, so you don't have to settle with the one beer, coffee, wine, or ice cream that you know and love and that has treated you well time and time again. Flights make it easier to branch out and try new things while still sticking with the varieties you trust.

Now, you can get four different flights within the Food Hall in The Forks Market.

Beer

If you're not already familiar with The Common, it is our craft beer and wine kiosk that has 20 different taps filled with mostly local brews for you to pick from. They range from an easy-drinking ale to a richer stout. Your instinct is to go for the type of beer you know you'll like, but the beauty of a flight is that you can branch out with minimal risk. 

Pick four. 
Pick a colour of beer that scares you a little. 
Pick the new one from the local brewery that just opened. 
Pick one you know you'll like. 
Pick the one with the name you can't pronounce (each one is numbered, don't worry). 

P.S. The staff at The Common are super helpful, and they always make great recommendations.

We picked: Barn Hammer Brewing Co. Grandpa's Sweater, Lake of the Woods Brewing Co. Firehouse Ale, Little Brown Jug 1919, and Lagunitas India Pale Ale.

Coffee

You don't know what energized feels like until you've tried this thing. Our newest member of The Forks Market family is Fools & Horses, and they didn't fool around when creating their flight. Ready?

Batch brew. Pick one: Mixtape from Dogwood Coffee or Corrego Lavrinhas by Pilot Coffee.
Gibraltar (equal parts espresso and steamed milk). Pick one: Heritage from Pilot Coffee or Guji from Transcend Coffee. 
Espresso. Pick the espresso you didn't choose for your Gibraltar.

And there you have all the caffeine you need to get you through those summer classes or to power your summer evening adventures.

We picked: Mixtape, Heritage, and Guji.

Wine

Just like the craft beer, The Common is also stocked with 20 different wines to choose from. 20! Yeah, think again if we're picking just one. Curate that flight to match your mood or ask The Common staff what they suggest – they know them all very well.

Pick three.
Maybe you're feeling romantic and want to stick with three reds. 
Maybe it's a scorcher outside and you need a couple of white wines and a rosé to cool you down. 
Maybe you're feeling a bit all over the place and want one of each.

We picked: Mud House Sauvignon Blanc, Domaine de Gournier Cevennes Rosé, and Opawa Pinot Noir.

Ice cream

Neon cone recently re-vamped their selection and added a bunch of great new goodies. Yup– ice cream flights! Hot days at The Forks have met their match.

Pick four.
Pick a gelato.
Pick the one you could never commit to.
Pick something with all the chocolate.
Pick one from their new feature menu.

We picked: Mango, Honey Lavender, Triple Chocolate Brownie, and another brownie variety from the feature menu (yes, two brownie ones because we couldn't help ourselves). 


Flights are what you want them to be, so take our suggestions or find a variety of your own and let us know when you find the perfect combination!
