VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has announced that one of its longest-standing core brands is now available in cans for the first time.
Slipstream Ale (5% abv) is described as follows:
Pours a deep copper colour and features a full, malty and round body. The nose is slightly nutty. Smooth mouth feel and a sweet brown sugar taste with hints of toasted hazelnuts. Co-operative fluid dynamic techniques result in a beer that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Previously available in bottles and on draught, Slipstream is now being distributed in 355 ml cans, available at Phillips and select private liquor stores.

- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a S.P.A. Special Pale Ale by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinQuite a while since I had this last & it seems to have improved. Overall character is that of an authentic malt-forward UK pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Dark by Stack Brewing at The Craft Brasserie & GrilleSharp & sour up fromt. Bit of caramel malt but not much else behind. Thin body struggles to carry the flavour. OK but needs refinement.
