On the bench : Accusation
Sometimes Bitterness comes from a frivolous Trademark dispute. We prefer it when it comes from a nice late hop addition to a great ESB! The Accusation Ale is back in all its glory...but only for a limited time at cold beer & wine and government liquor stores near you!

On the bench : India Pale Ale
A classic Northwest IPA. This full flavoured, full bodied beer is generously hopped with Northwest hops to give a mild bitterness and full hop aroma.
A small addition of crystal malt gives this IPA a light amber colour, and a faint malty sweetness to balance all those hops!

On the bench : The Hammer
Imperial Stout was originally brewed to satisfy the czarist courts. Because it was to be transported across the freezing baltic, Russian Imperial Stout was brewed with a high level of alcohol. Rich flavour, deep chocolate colour, with a roasted barley nose. Break down that wall...or conform and be dull

On the bench : Double Barrel
We’ll admit it, we get bored fairly easily. We wanted to make a new beer and found a more expensive way to do it. We all got pretty jazzed about putting Scotch ale into some barrels, but the question remained, what kind? The overwhelming choice was bourbon, but red wine was also on the table. Why not both? The result is a beer that you notice when you drink it – your senses get smacked with great bourbon aroma which is complimented by a slightly smoky peat flavour and rich vanilla tones. Keep your eye on the prize and pull the trigger.

On the bench : Ginger Ale On the bench : Ginger Ale
Legendary prizefighter Gentleman Jim transformed the sport from a thuggish pastime into a higher scientific artform. So, if you think of your average beer as some knuckledusting, Phillips bew ginger creation is a trip to a fine gallery for your tastebuds. Like Gentleman Jim, this spicy copper ale is not a heavy puncher, however it can still put you down for the count, but will graciously shake your hand when you come to.

On the bench : Hudson Light
In honour of ‘A’ Vancouver Island newsman Hudson Light, we brewed a crisp and clean kolsch, ideal for refreshing yourself after a hard days ride. Full proceeds from the beer went towards A Vancouver Islands charitable initiatives. As for you beer buffs scoffing at the thought of Phillips brewing a light beer, Hud Light is only light in colour, a lovely and bubbly straw hue, as 5 percent alcohol is as low as we go here at Phillips.

On the bench : Crazy 8s Annu-ale
Phillips is a hop-happy brewery, so as an eighth anniversary present to ourselves, weve whipped up a batch of beer that has hop flavour for days. Weve blended some of our favourite hops and added them at various stages of the brewing process, resulting in the best kind of bitterness, something akin to a delicous grapefruit pucker. Weve also poured in a healthy dose of Babes Honey into the brew, yet the result is not an expected sweetness; the honey gives the Annu-Ale an extremely dry finish.

On the bench : GrowHop
From the mighty towers of Brewbylon comes this fresh crop of hops, ready to put your dreadlock in a headlock. Newly plucked Chinook hops are added rather than dried hops, resulting not only in aromatic hoppy bitterness, but also some strong melon flavours. No incense required.

Brewed with a big handful of specially roasted beans from 2% Jazz Coffee, this smooth stout is the perfect breakfast beer.

On the bench : 24-Mile Blueberry Pail Ale
Every ingredient used to craft this refreshing beer has travelled 24 miles or less from farm to brew kettle. First, water from the Sooke reservoir is blended with barley, grown and malted locally by Mike Doehnel. Then we added a pile of Cascade hops from Vic Davies Saanich farm and fresh blueberries from Farmer Phil. All this deliciousness was activated by Yeast Wrangler Ben’s unique house-strain of ale yeast and you are off to the flavour races. You might want a bib for this one, as there is a certain shirt-staining potential from all those berries.
