VICTORIA, BC & TORONTO, ON – Phillips Brewing and Great Lakes Brewery have announced plans to collaborate on a special one-off beer next month, when representatives of Great Lakes will be travelling from Toronto to Victoria for the Great Canadian Beer Festival.
In addition to being one of a growing number of collaborations between Canadian craft breweries, it will also be a homecoming of sorts for David Bieman of Great Lakes, as he worked at Phillips for several years before moving to Toronto and joining the GLB team.
Full details about the beer that will be brewed have yet to be revealed, but it’s expected that more information will be announced sometime around the brew day of September 6th.
