VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has announced the release of a unique new seasonal beer that takes inspiration from a time long gone – Phillips Old Sarsaparilla:
Sarsaparilla (is) a concoction brewed from roots said to contain healing properties. Phillips’ Old Sarsaparilla is a revitalization of this Western classic. Pouring a rich earthy brown and boasting a bold root beer sweetness, this malted ale weighs in at 5% and finishes dry. At the time of print medicinal properties were still undetermined, but it’s sweet enough to put a smile on the face of the most grizzled cowboy.
Phillips Old Sarsaparilla is available starting today in 650 ml bottles at the Phillips retail store, and at select liquor stores and bars in BC.
