The store I saw it in was the Spinnaker's in the Vic West/Save on Foods shopping center. I have not seen it at the BC Liquor Stores yet, but I'm sure it will be there before long.

As for the new Chocolate brew, I found it difficult to finish because of the sweetness. It's almost on the verge of a liqueur(sp?) but definitely a unique product that will undoubtedly find a niche clientèle.

Having said that, I do think that flavoured beer is mostly definitely aimed at people who don't actually like beer....

In other news, I hear from a reliable source that the Phoenix Beer is about to transition out of the brown stubby bottle as there is a supply problem. Look for it in a more traditional long neck bottle before too long.

The Phoenix Gold Lager is already in regular sized bottles and packaging in the BC Liquor Stores.
I'm going to have to contact the brewery and find out where their products are on tap. I've only seen the Phoenix lager in a couple of places and would have tried the blue truck earlier if it was offered.

Garrick's Pub in Bastion Square has Blue Truck on tap and so does the Bent Mast in JB. Phoenix has always been a staple of Brickyard's offerings as well but I'm not sure about Blue Truck.

Too bad, because I bet they've seen a significant drop in sales since the change.There was only ever a planned 3 year life span for the stubby bottle. The supply was discovered in warehouse in Oregon I believe, anyways while Phillips had a deal with the liquor stores to reroute as many of the returned bottles as possible back to him, over time there was certain to be an end to the supply through breakage and other source receycling etc...

Thankfully it was the latter.
