Description
It all began with a 27 year old brewer, a windowless apartment, and a mountain of credit card debt. Phillips’ first brews were about as unconventional as his financing structure. In the conservative beer climate of 2001 the brewery launched with an Espresso Stout, a Raspberry Wheat Ale, and a boldy-hopped IPA; a suitable foreshadow for the creativity to come.

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.

Hop Circle IPA (formerly Phillips IPA) from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Fairly interesting, with floral and hints of orange in the nose and a bold bitter finish, to end things off.

Big Bad John Barleywine from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.
22 years ago
7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
A deep mahagony color, a full nose of hazelnuts, dark rum, apples, raisins. The medium body, has brown sugar, raisins, dark rum and slightly syrupy while ending moderately bitter and rich. Very succulent and hides the 10.5% alcohol very well.

Draught Dodger Maple Cream Ale (prior to 2008) from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.

5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Malty sweet nose with a little bit maple finished of with hops. Orange amber, no head, some yeast floating around. Taste is kind of bland and anonymous. Lightbodied.

Raspberry Wheat Ale from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.

4.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Slight raspberry Aroma. Neonred amber, no head. Oatmeal and fruit, but not in a good way, rather like a cheap snack bar. Watery and light, I could have sworn it was a low alcohol brew. Dissappointing.

Almost black no head. Coffee evident, but the flavor profile is rather flat. A bit watery and not round enough.

Sparkling red, light pink fast fading head. Light berry nose. Very light, slightly acidic flavor. Bland. The flavor improves as it warms, but who wants a warm wheat?
