VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has brought back a popular seasonal beer in a new edition, and has also renamed one of the beers in the regular Phillips line-up:
- Double Dragon Imperial Red Ale is a limited edition 8.2% brew with “big body and hop/malt balance”. It’s available now at the brewery and select private liquor stores in BC.
- Black Toque India Dark Ale has undergone a facelift and will now be known as Skookum Cascadian Brown Ale. It’s also available at the brewery and private stores, as well as BC Liquor Stores.

- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Silver Tart by Big Spruce Brewing at King & DufferinTop notch kettle sour with additional kick of tartness from the raspberry. Feels like a summer beer but just as tasty in January.
The Double Dragon has just been tasted/ reviewed and is a hit! http://tiny.cc/DUXVH Does anyone know if the Black Toque recipe was changed at all, or is it just a relabelling?
No change to the recipe for Black Toque, just a renaming.
