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 Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a CAMP-OUT PILS Unfiltered by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
- Greg C. is drinking a Streetcar Delay IPA by The Six Brewing Co. at King & DufferinFirst batch from new brewer Chris Tower still has the good balance of earlier versions, but with more oomph and bounce to the hops. Great!
