VICTORIA, BC – Phillips Brewing has announced the launch of Phillips Soda Works, a new label for the release of non-alcoholic sodas brewed using pure and natural ingredients with no artificial flavours or colours.
Utilizing the same approach as Phillips uses in developing its craft beer brands, recipe developer Ben Schottle spent months sourcing ingredients and tweaking recipes to come up with two debut sodas: Sparkmouth Ginger Ale, made with “hand-mashed ginger root and raw cane sugar”; and Captain Electro’s Intergalactic Root Beer, created with “a complex blend of natural spices and sweetened with raw cane sugar.”
Both sodas are available now at the Phillips Brewery retail store, and a launch party with free samples – “and maybe even some root beer floats” – will take place at the brewery (2010 Government St., Victoria) this Friday November 16th from 3:00 to 7:00 PM.
