Great place to pick up growers - at $10 a fill this is criminally cheap compared to what brewpubs charge in Toronto. Nice vibe inside and they give samples of whatever’s pouring. Cool decor and nice staff there. Very busy on a Saturday night. Quick turnover of taps as well.

I’m liking the new location in town as opposed to the previous William Street ghetto. With the taproom you’ll be able to get the latest special release in growlers instead of having to get a 6 or 12-pack. The staff are extremely nice and this outfit contributes to so many local charitable events making Phillips not only a Victoria leader but a foundation to the community.

Tasting room at the front of the microbrewery with medium-sized stand-up bar. Half-dozen taps with samples to taste, then chilled six-packs for sale (now including canned Hop Circle). Compact brewery with high-tech water and energy-efficient modifications. Industrial setting walking distance from historic downtown, adjacent to location of original Victoria breweries from centuries past. Loading dock converts to stage for occasional music events. Great stop on Victoria’s undocumented but thirst-quenching "beer trail".

A few taps to taste beers but this is more of a retail shop so don’t expect to be able to get a sampler tray. Very nice employee when I was present.

Small brewery with some very good beers. Bought the Longboat Chocolate porter and tried the Amnesiac Double IPA on tap.
