High-pitched, diabolical chuckling. The tinkling of falling bottles. The scampering of tiny feet on concrete. This can mean only one thing; the Dirty Squirrel has returned.
The Dirty Squirrel Hazelnut Brown Ale offers sweet, earthy flavours. It's hazelnuttier than a Nutella sandwich on hazelnut bread with a side of hazelnuts. You have to act fast to catch this Squirrel. It’s available for a limited time at cold beer and wine stores, as well as here at the brewery.
In honour of the Dirty Squirrel's return, we're going to host a quick and dirty mingler here at the brewery. C'mon down between 4pm and 6pm on Tuesday, November 10 and have a taste of the Dirty Squirrel. And to up the Dirty quotient even more, we'll be hosting a Dirty joke contest at the party. There are some mighty dirty minds at Phillips, so if you can make us laugh, you might just win a prize!
And speaking of prizes, we here at Phillips love prizes too. We can use your help to win some prizes in Northwest Brewing News’ annual reader’s poll. Online voting happens until November 15 at
