Saturday Farmers’ Market Vendor Feature: Odd Society Spirits

This week’s featured vendor is Odd Society Spirits! Odd Society is a small-batch craft distillery in the heart of East Van. Located on Powell Street in East Vancouver’s port district, Odd Society is dedicated to combining Old World distilling traditions with New World ingredients and ingenuity to create a family of spirits including whiskey, vodka and gin. Stop by their stall to give their products a try this week!

What is in your name?

The name ‘Odd Society’ reflects our interest to use our spirits and distillery as a way to bring together a diverse collection of creative and unique people. We wanted to make a home where you could feel comfortable revealing your inner oddness. The Odd Society is about experimentation, embracing change and celebrating our individual and collective oddities!

What sorts of spirits do you sell?

We have vodka, two varieties of gin, mongrel, Crème de Cassis, vermouth, two varieties of whiskey, and Mia Amata Amaro.

What kind of cocktails would you recommend for your spirits?

We actually have a page on our website that is dedicated to cocktail recipes, I would recommend trying one of those for something a little fun or unique! Otherwise, our spirits can be incorporated into any classic cocktail that calls for the varieties that we have.

Where can you guys be found other than the UBC Farm Saturday Farmers’ Market?

We have a tasting lounge open Thursday-Sunday where you can test all of our spirits, and it is connected to our distillery on Powell Street. Otherwise, we have a wide range of retailers that can all be found here.
