BEER: Incredible. Diverse offerings, enough to please the variety of beer-drinking palates in our small group. For those hopheads amongst us, a variety of hop-forward options. I sampled the Mantra Saison, Electric Unicorn, Bottle Rocket, and (of course) Amnesiac. The ManBeast got Solaris, Raspberry Wheat, Buck, and Slipstream. The Solaris, Unicorn, and Amnesiac were my favourites, and overall, Phillips does a nice job producing brews across the range that stand on their own.
BREWERY: Be prepared with a cash donation. You can't buy pints, flights, or samples, but you can ask for "free" samples and stuff some moolah into their donations box. If you stuff nicely, they'll fill you up a flight

It's a bit of a walk west along the seawall about 30 minutes over the Johnson street bridge. Spinnakers is a fantastic brewpub. The view is wonderful, the staff and atmosphere is terrific, and the food is fantastic.
