Garrison & Phillips Mash Up #2 Released in BC

East meets West... again!

After collaborating on a successful Belgian IPA last summer in Halifax, Victoria, BC's Phillips Brewing Co. and Halifax, NS's Garrison Brewing Co. have announced that their 2nd creation in their Mash-Up Series has been released.

The Mash-Up Baltic Porter was brewed at the Phillips brewery in November when Daniel Girard, Garrison's Brewmaster, travelled to Victoria to join Matt Phillips and his team in the brewhouse. The beer is described as follows (from the Phillips website):

The Mash-Up Baltic Porter weighs in at 8% and pours a deep earthy brown colour. The infusion of fresh figs endows the beer with a bold fruity sweetness your palate will appreciate, with subtle hints of black licorice adding a delicate richness to the aroma and body.


This limited release beer is now available in selected private liquor stores on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.

As mentioned, this is the 2nd release that Phillips and Garrison have collaborated on. There is no word yet on a third beer at this time.
