British Columbia,
Canada 🇨🇦
Associated Venue: Phillips Brewing Co.
Established in 2001
Since then Phillips has moved out of the apartment and into a more brewing-appropriate facility (with windows) closer to town. We have launched a soda company, a distillery, and most recently a malting facility–the only one of its kind in Canada.

Super hazy golden and pale straw coloured body with a pretty thick, three to four centimetre tall slightly soapy off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of sugars with some lactose, apricots, stone fruits and subtle citrus fruit notes with some noticeable bitterness from the alpha acids in the hops and a seemingly nice layer of malt to support. Medium to Full-bodied; Pretty deep and pungent bitterness that hits from the hops with a noticeable citrus bite, some grapefruit and lemons with a good balance of deeper malts that have some bite, too along with a nice touch of alcohol and warmth. Aftertaste is pretty rich, with a good kick of fruits here that go well with the rich and noticeable hops and associated alpha acid bitterness, balanced well with a good layer of sweetness and alcohol. Overall, a surprisingly good beer that was much more old school than new school, with a hazy look, but still bitter, deep and pungent flavour that shows some Imperial Status despite being pretty 'normal' in alcohol! Great to try from British Columbia and recommended if you can find it, even to cart this thing back across Canada and the USA like I did! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Broadway Liqour in South Vancouver, British Columbia on 01-July-2022 for CA$4,75, best by 03-July-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-August-2022.
