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 Haberdasher Hefeweizen by Muddy York Brewing Co. at Walrus Pub & Beer HallBanana marshmallow candy, lemon creme, clove. Properly pillowy body. A touch sweet, but bang on otherwise.
- Greg C. is drinking a Clutch by Redline Brewhouse at Reds Wine TavernSo good that I forgot to take a picture until I was almost finished.
- Greg C. is drinking a Turf War by Goose Island Brewhouse Toronto at King & Dufferininteresting interplay between the two Cascades - bright & citrusy from PNW, mellow & earthy from Ont. Adds up to a very nice pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Midway IPA by Goose Island Beer Co. at Goose Island Brewhouse TorontoAt Goose Island dinner, paired with deep fried popcorn ice cream. Not a great pairing - beer is wiped by the busy flavours of the dish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Goose IPA by Goose Island Beer Co. at Goose Island Brewhouse TorontoAt Goose Island dinner, paired with lamb & pea gnocchi. Lamb brings out an interesting anise note in the beer. Otherwise, yup, it’s Goose.
