About
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.

Sweet flavour of bready wheat malt, lemon, lactose, vanilla and floral hops in a dry, tart lacto finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Not bad, does remind me of lemon pie filling.

Dinosour Stone Fruit Sour from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.
4 years ago
6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
Poured from the tap. Hazy gold with small white head. Lots of peach and apricot on the nose. Taste is similar, a bit of lacto, sweet-ish with mild tartness. Slightly subdued yogurty texture. The fruit character is decent, not much depth though.

Draught. Dark brown. Thick head. Has some toast, nuts and chocolate. On the palate, those elements with nice complexity, moderate bitterness, and a light acidity. Not bad.

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out toasted malt, dry cocoa, and earthy malt. Flavour is very dry, with earthy, dry roastiness, and earthy dry cocoa powder. There's not much to this, but it's smooth and clean. Decent.
