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.

Twenty Point Buck from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
473mL can, pours a clear dark amber brown with a medium beige head. Nose is full of oak and vanilla upfront, with gentle bourbon -- no hint of the Blue Buck base underneath. Flavour is quite sweet, being mostly a function of the bourbon casks -- there's lots of oak, lots of vanilla, and some butterscotch-like sweetness. Not really that bad. The barrels are pleasant. It's just a very strange and hilarious choice for an anniversary beer. Pleasant.

Little Wonder Pale Ale from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.

5.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Can. Slight dull haze. Really fruity, minty hop aroma. Quite appetizing. However, there's nothing on the palate at all. No malt, no sugar, no bitterness and barely any hop. The whole bloody thing is dry-hopping. Man, I am really unsure what I'm supposed to be getting out of this.

One and Done from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Phillips, pours a crystal clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals some wine yeast, citrus hops, biscuity malt and a touch of peach. Flavour is much the same, with a pleasant brut expression from the yeast, gentle peach, and citrus hops. Decently constructed, but tastes like they took too many shortcuts constructing this. Weak.

Dinosour Blackberry Sour Ale from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.
5 years ago
6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
On tap at Phillips, pours a cloudy pinkish red with a small off-white head. Aroma is full of lacto upfront, followed by tart blackberry. Flavour is very fruity, with lots of sweet and tart blackberry, backed by a yogurty lacto base. It's pleasant, but a very simple, cheap, fruited kettle sour like so many others. Drinkable but a yet another uninspiring kettle sour.

Space Goat Dry Hopped Oat Pale Ale (2017) from Phillips Brewing and Malting Co.
5 years ago
6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Phillips, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out orange peel, citrus hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is juicy, with citrus hops, orange peel, and earthy notes. Almost tastes a bit old if I didn't know it was fresh from the source. The hop expression is decent, bringing out a nice juiciness. Solid enough.
