CTV News video of the Ancient Forest Alliance’s win in the Phillips Beer "Benefit Brew" contest. The AFA will receive the sales proceeds from a custom, microbrewed beer called the "Ancient Brown Ale".
The alliance, a two yearold Victoria-based non-profit organization that works to protect old-growth forest in the province, was the clear winner of the competition that over a two-week period had the public vote for their charity of choice online.
The Ancient Forest Alliance is the winner of an online voting competition to become the recipient of a new benefit microbrew beer made by local Victoria company, Phillips Beer. �Ancient Brown Ale� will be the new microbrew beer to be released next month into select private liquor stores, with full sales proceeds going to the Ancient Forest Alliance.
On display will be nearly a dozen 24”x36” prints, a range of smaller prints, and a few select framed works. Featured images will range from Canada’s biggest trees, to coastal landscape views and lush forest scenes, as well as new UNRELEASED images from one of the most stunning and unique forests on Vancouver Island!
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has drafted a proposal for an amendment that would add 49 hectares in the Avatar Grove area as an old growth management area (OGMA), and an additional 10.4 hectares in nearby Axe Creek, making them both off-limits to logging.

For the winning group, Phillips will design and produce a short-run specially-crafted beer complete with a custom label (imagine a Gnarly Tree beer!). The campaign is aimed at both raising awareness, and providing financial support by donating the full proceeds of the benefit brew to the chosen cause. Vote at: phillipsbeer.com/benefitbrew
Such a designation would protect the largest, oldest, and most unique trees of each species, as well as the most magnificent monumental stands of old-growth trees in the province.
