Spinnakers has been at the forefront of BC craft brewing since 1984, and this shop brings their rotating selection of traditionally crafted brews and spirits to retail customers. Cyclists seeking locally made beer or spirits to take away will find it conveniently located near the Inner Harbour.","source":"sonnet_4.6"},"website":{"value":"https://www.spinnakers.com/","source":"enrichment"},"address":{"value":"435 Simcoe Street #3, Victoria, BC V8V 4T3","source":"enrichment"},"phone":{"value":"250-590-3515","source":"enrichment"},"email":{"value":"josh@spinnakers.com","source":"html"},"route_slugs":[],"centrally_administered":false,"bike_parking_detail":"2 racks within 100m: stands (6 spaces) at 17m; rack at 99m.

The website provides a phone number (250-590-3515) specific to this location but contains no evidence of bike parking, washrooms, water refills, or other cyclist-focused amenities at this retail outlet.
