VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing have brought back their winter seasonal, Hammer Imperial Stout, for another year. Here’s the announcement from their website:
Here’s your excuse to drop those pesky New Year’s Resolutions. The Hammer is making it’s come back. Made in the tradition of the Russian Czarist courts, this heavy hitter packs enough alcohol to cross the Baltic, or the Malahat for that matter. Rich, deep and flavourful, it’s what dark, winter nights were made for. Better stock up, it’s going to be a long one….
Available at private liquor stores for a limited time.

- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a S.P.A. Special Pale Ale by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinQuite a while since I had this last & it seems to have improved. Overall character is that of an authentic malt-forward UK pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Dark by Stack Brewing at The Craft Brasserie & GrilleSharp & sour up fromt. Bit of caramel malt but not much else behind. Thin body struggles to carry the flavour. OK but needs refinement.
