A Phillips' classic
The Story:
Blue Buck is a
legendary beast around these parts, and has been known to grant those who see
him good fortune...or at least a great tasting beer. Contrary to most
legends, the 'Buck' was not actually one of our original brews, but was brewed
for the Victoria Folk Fest back in 2007 to keep festival-goers cool in the hot
afternoon sun. It also originally christened under a different name in
honour of the old 1965 Chevy Matt would deliver beer in all summer.
Unfortunately not everyone was thrilled with the moniker and, since we prefer
fermentation to litigation, we opted to exchange the auto for some antlers and
the Blue Buck was born.
Tasting Notes:
Pours a light amber colour with a straw head. Soft aromas of
citrus and pine with a slight toasted caramel undertone. Has a light and
balanced mouthfeel with a crisp a refreshing finish.
Availability:
Blue Buck is available year-round in 341mL bottle six packs, 355mL can six packs, and is a permanent member of our Showcase Mixed Pack.
Always keep the fridge stocked with this beauty. Can never go wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis is without a doubt my favorite beer. All other beer is judged by how satisfied I feel after a nice cold pint of Blue Buck. Coincidentally I saw the blue delivery vehicle drive down the street today and remembered the old "imported from Esquimalt" labels again. Delicious!
