With so many different styles of craft beer, and even more variation within them, it can be intimidating to find a delicious brew when first exploring the craft world. Though endless experimenting is as delicious as it is exciting, we'll save you some trouble: Phillips Brewing's award-winning Dinosour Stone Fruit Sour is an approachable, easy-to-drink Canadian beer that’s been enjoyed by British Columbians for years — and it's now available in Ontario for the first time.
This unique serve incorporates the flavour of stone fruit with apricot juice, peach juice and natural flavours of nectarine. It's soured with Phillips’ house-cultured lacto strain, creating a juicy beer that balances slightly sweet notes with a lip-smacking tart bite. Anyone can appreciate the easy drinking fruity flavours and enjoy this beer — whether a craft-beer novice or long-time sipper.
Phillips' Dinosour Stone Fruit Sour is best paired with a sunny fall day, but we could drink this bright beer all winter as a lighter craft alternative to a stout to remind us of sunny, stone-fruit weather. And with a beer this tasty, you can even experiment with trying it in cocktails like the Dinosour Stone Fruit Sour Gimlet recipe below.
Based in Victoria, B.C., Phillips Brewing & Malting Co. is an acclaimed, award-winning Canadian brewery, renowned for its creativity and dedication to quality. One of only a few Canadian breweries with in-house malting, Phillips Brewing crafts its beer with local barley grown just 15 minutes away, reducing emissions and supporting local farmers. Most recently, the brewery's calibre was recognized when Dinosour Stone Fruit Sour won gold in Best American-Style Sour at The World Beer Cup in Las Vegas.
Phillips Brewing’s Dinosour Stone Fruit Sour is a deliciously juicy beer that's tart, sweet and sessionable — and it's now available at LCBO.
