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.

Fresh rating, on tap as Hop Circle. I liked the old Phillips IPA but is this really the same beer? Hazy. Light tan. Lots of orchard fruit hop aroma. Medium hops. Some sort of old goldings or something that I don’t remember ever being in this beer. Quite fruity. It’s ok, but kind of dull-tasting. Massive downgrade from a 4.0.
