VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has brought back winter seasonal The Hammer Imperial Stout for another year, this time in two different versions:
The classic, perfectly suited to tearing down the wall, is full of rich, roasted flavours and creamy mouthfeel, as always. A Bourbon barrel-aged version, with smooth oak and smoke notes, is somewhat more mellow in flavour, possibly suited for more refined hammering tasks, such as fine wood work or possibly the hammer toss.
Both variations on The Hammer are available now in select cold beer and wine shops in the Victoria area, as well as at the brewery.

- 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!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mind On My Honey by Siren Craft Brew at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. Honey & smoky chilies in an Imperial stout sounds like a train wreck but this beer pulls it off beautifully.
- Greg C. is drinking a Proto 31: Imp Stout W. Cardamon & Tonka Beans by Brewski at Collective Arts BrewingAt Liquid Art Fest. A whole helluva a lot of cardamom up in here. That’s ok, I like that. Drinks frighteningly easy for its abv.
