For food, we got their Dinner Island Proscuitto and it was loaded with prosciutto. I would have liked more fresh basil (maybe even fresh ones) on top.

Plenty of parking and signs leading you to an adorable brewery playing awesome reggae music. Two outdoor seating areas. Yummy brews. I had a blackberry ale, I think. They do flights. Either 4 choice or ALL of them. I laughed, really? I had one and it was enough. If I had a ride I would love to hang out and drink more. Super comfortable place with board games too. Doggy friendly patio out front. Signage explaining rules for the kiddos if you bring them. For a person who goes to brewery sans children, I appreciate that. They don't serve food here but I think you can bring food. Drink good beer and enjoy your life. SYOY!

I think I have to bump up the stars since my last beer experience here…read more On our latest trip to our northern neighbor we had another beer from Driftwood that we immensely enjoyed. That beer was the Spiff Corn Lager. It was such a refreshing beverage to have as we were ready to get out of the hot mugginess of summer. Flavor features with this delightful beer are a natural sweetness along with crispness and a clean finish. The beer is very light bodied and extremely persuasive in having you get another one.

We absolutely loved how friendly the place is. Hands down the friendliest brewery we have been to, they give your pups treats, and they even have beds for them to be comfy. The staff is wonderful, especially Amber who makes your feel welcome and definitely brings a great vibe to the place. We visited twice during our stay and look forward to visiting again someday when we are back in Victoria.

The Ube Bae Bae Bay was the winner for the drafts. Had a pretty distinct taste while my family enjoyed their IPAs, lagers and porters. They offer cans to go and games to entertain the little ones while the adults relax a little. Service was quick with her pouring the drinks just as they opened at noon. Even their NA drinks were good too. Will be a while since I'll return so have an extra drink for me in the meantime! Cheers!

Phillips was long on my list of breweries to try and despite Canada being very close to where we are located trips there remain highly infrequent. So finally getting to try some more breweries from the north was an extra perk to our trip! The beer that Steve and I had from this brewery was the TILT Lager and it proved itself to be a good one also! With a nice breadiness and a natural sweetness to it. There is a clean and crisp finish to this beer which we always enjoy experiencing with beers. This beer is light bodied and is easy to have more than one of but we behaved ourselves and shared this refreshing lager.
