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 Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
