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 an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breakfast Stout by Founders Brewing Co. at King & DufferinClose to 2 years old. A bit oxidized but still everything you expect from FBS - chocolate, coffee, tasted oats & more. Always a classic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monks' Reserve Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinDoesn’t have the depth of a Belgian Trappist, but for a New World take on a Quad, it’s very good with strong malt base & nice spice notes.
- Greg C. is drinking an Extra Brut Ipa by 3 Brasseurs | 3 Brewers at The 3 BrewersHits the target for what I expect from the style - very dry, effervescent, aromatic, refreshing & quick to drink. Well done!
