Had the best time at Phillips’ huge taproom & shop! Phillips does a great job at branding and it definitely shows in the little details across the entire place. The vibe is upbeat and gives space for families as well as others just looking for a night out. Also, the pretzel and the mustard were shockingly delicious. Can’t recommend enough!

Amazing place! amazing beer! Amazing people! We don’t usually drink beer, and we enjoyed the beer and food so much, after a long bike ride, so we went back for a second time in a week. As we were enjoying the good tasting beer, my husband dropped and lost his wedding band under the terrasse floor. As we’re looking for it, the staff came, they removed a long wooden piece of the floor so we can look for it, and they found it!!! We are blessed to have met those nice people! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You’ve made an incredible difference 🙏🙌 Thank you!!! Isabelle and Dominic

The gold standard for local craft beer, Phillips has long been a staple in the Victoria community. The way Phillips brings people together, especially through events like the Backyard Weekender, is something we truly admire. You’re not just brewing incredible beer, you’re creating culture, memories, and connection. We’re grateful to play a small part in the storytelling behind that. We had the pleasure of creating visuals for their spring releases and core lineup was an absolute honour. From the get-go, the Phillips team brought an energy that was equal parts playful and passionate, with a clear love for their craft and a genuine appreciation for creative collaboration. It’s always a joy working alongside brands that not only have a strong visual identity, but also a strong sense of community. Can’t wait for the next round. Pun absolutely intended. – Dee & Kim Ethos Imagery

Stayed in Victoria for a bunch of days and went to the brewery for two nights in a row. Lovely place, 16 beers on the tap (one them is the guest one) and friendly bartenders. One can choose to get a tasting of 4 or 8 beers and they print the best order to go through 'em all on the spot. Non alcoholic options are a nice addition. Sadly didn't get the chance to taste their gin and whisky.

I visited this lovely place on my birthday and I wanted some small snack with my beer like peanuts but didn’t have so I ordered the dill pickle thinking it would be served on a plate like a small salad but they put it in a shut glass 🥒and handed it over to me 😭 and every table next to us had a good laugh!! I’m not mad I think it was funny and it made a memory for us so thank you for making us happy mr. pickle-man

The printout card you get with your flight telling you about your 4 beers and the order to drink them in is cool! Fun decor and vibe. Busy spot. While it is a great spot, they really should clean the floor more frequently - so much food debris everywhere! Was there a food fight?? There seemed to be a security guard staring off into space... Maybe they could pitch in with the floors....

Great spot for some great beer in Victoria. Went on a sunny evening and sat outside on their good sized patio - it’s on a side street so relatively protected from the traffic noise of Government St - on which the brewery fronts. Did a flight of IPAs, which were all great, but my favourite was the Free Ride, followed closely by the Yacht Rocker. Three of us shared the Loaded Hot Dog Tower, an homage to seafood towers in fancy restaurants, consisting of 4 x hot dogs, 4 x corn dogs plus loaded tots and accompaniments! Unfortunately came out kinda cold, like it had been sitting for 5 or 10 minutes before being delivered to our table, the only reason I deducted a star from the review. All staff were very friendly.

I have always thought of Phillips as just a brewery and myself not being a beer lover haven’t gone there much. However with the addition of Roast, there is now plenty of tasty food options. And they also make their own gin so I was pleasantly surprised with a summer gin cocktail that tasted great. They have expanded their patio so we didn’t have any trouble finding a table on a hot summers night and it’s also dog friendly… how can you go wrong?
