Malts, masks & more: Phillips Brewing's creative ways of helping the fight against COVID-19

The spirit of community and creativity is shining forth at Phillips Brewing & Malting Co., as the Victoria-based brewers are using their resources and talents in the fight against COVID-19.

“I think everyone in our organization feels fortunate to still be able to work and wants to find ways to help the broader community fight this challenge,” says Matt Phillips, the Founder of Phillips Brewing, a partner of Whitecaps FC.

One of Phillips Brewing's initiatives is collaborating with the engineering departments from the University of Victoria and Camosun College to build protective face masks. With the use of the brewery’s Prusa 3-D printer, they are able to supply much-needed equipment for frontline emergency workers.
