VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has released two new seasonal beers for the winter months, Instigator and Deadhead:
To get things started right, you can count on the infamous Instigator. This colossal doppelbock is named for the beloved bottling machine that got the Phillips Brewing Company up and running. The dark lager is ready to take on all who dare challenge this stubborn goat.
After locking horns with the Instigator, it’s time to set sail with the Deadhead Barley Wine. This malty auburn brew weighs in at 10 percent alcohol, is best served at 8 degrees C and will certainly warm your cheeks.
Both beers are available now in selected beer and wine stores in Victoria and area, as well as at the brewery store.

- Greg C. is drinking a Blurrryy by MERIT Brewing at King & DufferinCreamsicle notes to start, with grapefruit and pine sneaking up behind & coming on stronger as it warms up. Long bitter finish. Great!
- Greg C. is drinking a Hibiscus Sour by Side Launch Brewing at King & DufferinHibiscus & rosehip is a flavour combo I usually enjoy, and that’s def the case here, as both mesh well with the lemon-leaning base sour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Feels Like Friday by Royal Canadian Mead at King & DufferinBuckwheat honey sits in good balance on a cider-like base. But as with most hopped ciders, I question if hops are really needed in a mead.
- Greg C. is drinking a Daywalker by Rainhard Brewing at Duke's Refresher + BarSeems lighter than I remember in colour & body. Still packed with flavour though. Nice lingering lemon peel & pine notes.
- Greg C. is drinking an Edelhell by Hacker-Pschorr at Otto's BierhalleI’ve been getting into a lager groove lately, mostly locals, but it’s good to revisit the classics once in a while. Prost!
