VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has announced the release of new beer that “marries the intoxicating perfume of fresh hops with the sophisticated dry humours of grape must.”
First Crush (4.7% abv) is described as follows:
Aromas of white wine, grapefruit and crab apple on the nose, with a medium sweet body accented with light bitterness. Grape and hop tannins infuse this brew with a light density, and low viscosity drying finish.
First Crush is available now in 473 ml cans at Phillips and select private liquor stores.

- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a CAMP-OUT PILS Unfiltered by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
- Greg C. is drinking a Streetcar Delay IPA by The Six Brewing Co. at King & DufferinFirst batch from new brewer Chris Tower still has the good balance of earlier versions, but with more oomph and bounce to the hops. Great!
