Phase Three Brewing (2019)

I know BJs picked up their allotment and I heard Beer Cellar did as well. I don’t think any deliveries were made today due to the can issue.

 

Beer cellar got theirs around last call Wednesday night

 

Stayed away from P3 due to all the stupid shit going on. The beer community should be like that. Swung by LZ Brew and took a chance. Last four pack of perpetual. Really wanted adhera. Offered to split the four pack with the next guy who struck out. No
Cash

Short end of it was I came in skeptical and was really surprise. Loved perpetual.

Also, there was a weird vibe at LZ Brew. Just a few people sitting with their allotment having a beer. Completely silent. Awkward.

 

what was the post by orange and brew? I don't see anything on their instagram.

 

I think it was an IG story that they have since deleted.

 

It’s on their Facebook page right now

 

I've experienced this at a release before. It's definitely awkward. Everyone is busy posting to their social media accounts about how they got some. Humans are doomed.

 

It's probably BeerAdvocates sitting next to each replying to each other's posts.

 

I'm going to the restroom, when the bartender comes back order me another one.

 

The holiday must have shifted everyone's delivery schedule back a day.

 

FYI the open bottle had a shit ton when I stopped in there around 2:30 or so.

 

No, simply accurate. Some dudes physically pushing and shoving to grab their allotment, not Black Friday Armageddon I will murder you for this 64 inch TV level, but definitely the level of douchebaggery.

 

Shocked to walk into LP Binnys today and they had four packs of both. Snagged a Perpetual Sounds and there was still quite a few left of each.

 

I enjoyed both Adhara and Perpetual Sounds. I probably slightly preferred PS which I wasn’t expecting based on my hop preferences. I currently would rank their hoppy beers: Low Ceilings, Orange Chantilly, Perpetual Sounds, Adhara, Marmalade, Protocol. But beers 3-5 are very close to me.

Split a bottle of Curvature last night. Very rich, thick mouthfeel. Among the best I can remember for a stout. Huge cocoa nose from the bottle though pouring it in the glass opened up the hazelnut aroma. Massive hazelnut flavor up front with lingering sweetness from the chocolate on the finish. Really great beer. If ranking with the non-BA Hennas I would go: Double Rainbow, S’mores, Curvature batch 1, Babka, Henna batch 4.

 

Same here!

 

I've had two of the Perpetual Sounds now and it's... fine? I don't know, I've never been Shaun's biggest fan, not that I think his beers suck or anything, but I don't get the hype. I'll definitely not be seeking out P3 stuff in the future unless I stumble upon it randomly like I did the other day.

 

In my opinion, his stouts are the real prize.

I think he's above average with the IPAs, but not elite.

His fruited milkshake IPA's are excellent, or at least were at More.

Can't say the Frooted series did much for me, though.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

 

I think last week's can drop is my favorite of the 3 different releases so far

 

I had Adhara last night...seemed to be a bit low on carbonation, and lacking in any sort of real flavor. Nothing off-putting like Protocol, but this was my second least favorite can thus far from them.

On another note, I heard through the grapevine that Binny's LP had bottles of Curvature yesterday. Anyone else hear/see that? Seems weird that they would've sent more out to a different store after making such an ordeal of that drop after DLD and which stores were getting them.

 

From what I hear most places that weren't part of the first release got around 6 bottles.
