We really like craft beer and particularly like sharing our craft beer with thirsty craft beer enthusiasts. Our Tasting Room is staffed with people who are passionate about what we do as well as any and all things beer related. So don't be shy to stop in, pull up a stool and enjoy the ride at our craft beer carnival.

A great location brew pub in the North end of downtown. Loved the sours, the warm pretzels, and the comfy vibe.

I came here last week before wrapping up my Alaska cruise trip. My sister said this place sells good beers so we went here. I can imagine Homer drooling at Duff Beer or donuts, the first world problem if he wants his beer or donuts.
So much variety of flavours here. I can also see how beers are packaged the next door which is cool. There's one funny name of beer especially Gangster's Parroteyes. We did a tasting flight ($9) consisting 4 flavours of beer. Philips know how to make their beers here. I don't really like drinking, but liked Leosaurus out of all of them. Something citrusy refreshing to drink on a scorching summer day.
We wanted to bring dad here for beer sampling it didn't work out. Fast friendly service. Great place to chill with friends. I saw Dinosaur soap which smelled heavenly it was tempting. They also sell some cool merch in the store. It's totally worth visiting Philips Brewing.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 29, 2023
Five stars all day long. Great atmosphere and wonderful beers all around. We ended up ordering two different flight tasters. Our server/bartender was easy to talk to and very helpful.
Probably one of the best merchandise setups I have seen at any brewery. There was a gentleman with long hair at the merchandise counter. He was completely amazing. He ended up having some tin tackers in the back for us. I would consider this one of the hidden GEMs in Victoria. We bought a couple of shirts and stickers. Great beer!!
Highly recommend this place!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Aiko M.Lancaster, CA194122Jul 4, 2024
This brewery might be the best brewery I have ever been to, out of dozens around the country. Literally loved every beer and sour I tried. Played games. Had a pickle. Loved it all. Highly recommend!!

This brewery is the type of brewery that I can walk into and I can happily say, "take my money!" Since you're probably here to know about their beers, I'll start with that. They have a great selection of beers, different styles for different beer loves - I love a good West Coast IPA or Hazy.
Though their pizza looks good, I ended up having chips with hummus, which for what I was craving, were something good to munch on. I did see their pizza and thought it looked good, people looked happy when they were eating it, so I'm assuming it's something you'll want to get for yourself if you stop by.
The service there is on point, I think they're fast and efficient and also are there for your beer - and non-beer related - questions.
The space itself is nice, I like what they did t with the decorations and how they separate it with the merch space, which is somewhere you'll want to stop by because of their cool graphics and also because it's where you can get your go-to beer. Overall it's an amazing space, an amazing brewery, and somewhere I'll be coming back when I'm in Victoria.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Dick B.San Francisco, CA028Nov 27, 2022
I'm writting this for my fellow beer drinkers. Do not ever purchase this brewery's non alcohol pilsner Phillips IOTA Pilsner. It's just terrible! It calls itself a pilsner but there is absolutely no flavours we come to associate with a pilsner. It's just a can of yellow carbonated water. I so wanted to like this beer but sadly, I just couldn't finish it and will be dumping the remaining 3 cans of the four pack.
This is an acclaimed brewery with 20 years in the business so I don't know how the brewmaster could allow this to be called a beer. They should change their beer tasters, really. If I could give a 0 rating I would.
So disappointed.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 55486469Jun 10, 2019
The new tasting room is beautiful! Huge space with lots of seating and polished concrete floors. 16 beers on tap and some snacks too (amazing pretzels made by a bakery down the street, plus pepperoni sticks). Go up to order at the counter and bring to your seat.
And the beer! Oh man the beer. So good and such a great variety between the 16 taps. Plus amazing value - get a 4-beer flight for $8 (4 x 4 oz each). What year is it? Where are we? These are just amazing prices. You'll also get a little custom-printed card with the list of beers you ordered and the details of each one. Love that!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
