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.

- Greg C. is drinking a When In Rome by Bar Hop at Bar Hop BrewcoFruit-flavoured stouts aren’t usually my kinda thing, but this is a good one. Berry flavours are very natural & work well with the beer.
- Greg C. is drinking a Steadfast by Tooth And Nail Brewing Company at Bar Hop BrewcoTicks all the boxes - dry roast malt, cocoa, hints of coffee & toasted nuts, bit of twiggy bitterness. A spot-on porter!
- Greg C. is drinking a Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
