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 Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. at King & DufferinThe flavour delivers what the name promises. And like most cheesecake it’s too sweet for me personally. But I can still see the attraction.
- Greg C. is drinking an Union Pearson Ale by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinRecently reformulated & better for it. Strong citrus character, bit of pine, malt backnote. Reminds me of classic US IPAs & that’s good.
- Greg C. is drinking a Route 26 by Northwinds Brewhouse & Kitchen at King & DufferinVery nice roasty character, notes of cocoa and hazelnut, good hit of hops to balance. Glad a friend from the area passed this along to me.
- Greg C. is drinking a Bianca Mango Lassi Gose (6%) by Omnipollo at King & DufferinOn paper, this seems like a gimmick beer I should hate. In reality, it’s a delicious explosion of milky & slightly salty mango that I love.
- Greg C. is drinking an Only Mistral IPA by Stone City Ales at King & DufferinNicely balanced beer that shows off the sweet citrus & slightly floral notes of the hops. Restrained for an IPA, but still enjoyed it.
