Phase Three Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

I've been there twice and never disappointed. Great selection and the service is outstanding. We're always able to get a seat at the bar. I've won two of their random draws, just wish we lived closer.

The seemingly remote location notwithstanding, you need to visit P3. Staff is super friendly, attentive, and knowledgable. Picking up online/app orders was smooth. The beers are fantastic. West Coast, New England, dark beers, and simple classic styles all represented on the board, and all were fantastic.

It's not exactly my crowd out there, and with all the seltzers, pastry stouts and NE IPA's it's not always my bag. However, they do traditional styles very well, and nothing is awful. If you live in the area, I'm sure its well above average.

Well, let’s be honest - if this was a brewery with a lesser reputation, previous reviewers wouldn’t be so kind to the setup. Non-descript and sometimes awkward seating area in the front, but when the back area is open, the vibe is much better. Unfortunately due to drunken idiots pissing off their neighbors, their original outdoor seating has been scaled waaay back and is barely usable.

The quality of the beer is always extremely high- I’ve never had a dud. The service is outstanding and scales to the busyness better than any brewery I’ve seen. Table service (even outdoors) is frequently an option even during busy times, and the staff never let an empty glass sit without asking if you want another. Closing a tab is smooth, and conversation comes easy.

If you go here, your choices are IPAs, a couple stouts (0 to 3 options) and one Pilsner. Oh, and a bunch of seltzers.

 

 

Very happy to have a companion local brewery for our other local (Roaring Table). The LZ scene is finally coming into its own! This space, formerly occupied by the late Lake Zurich Brewing Company (and I wanna say Black Belt also operated out of here, but I could be wrong), isn't much to speak of, but they've made the most of it: It's located in one of the corner units of a mixed-use commercial industrial row in the major commercial-industrial area of LZ, so both interior space and parking aren't exactly spacious. Still, they've managed to fix up the relatively small indoor space rather nicely and keep things stocked and rolling (something LZBC unfortunately never quite nailed down, though P3's existing reputation in the local beer scene may have helped a bit in keeping attendance numbers up). The decor is suburban, replete with hardwood floors, painted drywall, and some screens displaying the offerings. Off to the side is the brewing/canning area, which has been used on occasion for some extra space (it's fine in there, what you would expect from a warehouse-style space that has brewing and canning going on). Outside, the far driveway area has been repurposed as something of a makeshift beer garden due to COVID concerns, mostly consisting of plastic picnic tables and repurposed barrels for tables and a stereo providing some (usually pretty bumping) tunes. The servers and bartenders are all great, and they can tell you all you need to know about the beers should you require it of them. The selection hews toward the IPA set, both hazy and otherwise, though that's not surprising, given the brewer's reputation and the way the beer scene has migrated over the past couple of years; still, there's always something different on offer, from adjuncted porters to vienna lagers to hefs and the increasingly ubiquitous hard seltzer. They always have some cans/bottles for sale to go, though growler fills are as of yet nonexistent and crowlers only show up occasionally. Nonetheless, the place has always been inviting, the clientele thus far has been cool, and the beers and workers will likely have me coming back quite often (the fact that they're just down the street from me doesn't hurt, either). Good times, indeed.

Went on my buddies birthday, and they completely took care of him. Have him a free full draft plus another 5oz. World class beer. Facility wasn’t the best as far as seating. Parking was difficult. Servers were A+ for knowledge. Great visit!

 

 

Small taproom that is clean and comfortable. The quality of their beer is well above average. Service is friendly and helpful. There are sixteen beers on tap. They occasionally have special bottles available for purchase. A good selection of canned beer to go as well.
