Gibson’s Iron Bar
On Friday afternoon, Gibson’s Finest Canadian Whiskey hosted the Vancouver regional Iron Bar competition at Players Chophouse on Beatty Street, the search for this year’s cocktail of the Grey Cup.
Four talented bartenders, Ryan Cheverie from Hamilton Street Grill, Sophie Taverner from the Cascade Room, Frank Palter from the Fairmont Waterfront and Justin Tisdall from Boneta Restaurant cycled through three rounds and three secret ingredients to create three unique drinks for the judges. Team 1040’s Paul Carson served as the event’s MC. You can see the results of this event, after the jump.
In the end, Justin Tisdall from Boneta Restaurant scored top marks and won the Vancouver round. Gibson’s Iron Bar competitions will take place in every city that has a CFL team and finalists will compete in Montreal. Stay tuned for more coverage of the national finals in the comments section.
