Phase Three Brewing (2021)

Also try to get your food the first hour. Long line right now…

 

How slammed is it in the tap room? Trying to plan for my afternoon timeslot.

 

taproom is closed. Minutiae event only. Consume, down the street has a P3 pop up taproom open.

 

His comment says “trying to plan for my afternoon time slot”

 

It also says “how slammed is the tap room”. Do you mean tap lines?

Edit: line is slammed the first 30 mins then easy peasy.

 

Is everyone packed in the tap room like sardines in a tin?

 

No, you do walk thru the taproom but everything is in the production area. Still pretty packed but garage doors are open and there is a good amount of room.

 

Appreciate the heads up. Thanks much.

 

The coconut peanut butter won the day for me.

 

We’re they handing out totes for the bottles since Eunoia b7 dropped today also? Need to know if to pack one along with my aluminum foil for the burger.

 

clear plastic bags that will fit all 3 bottles and your glass

 

Really good time today. Did some 5oz pours but also split some to try extra). Here’s what I thought of the pours:

Didn’t try: Sandwich cookies (3), cocoa nibs and cinnamon (6)
Not going to assess: Minutiae (tasted great but had towards the end)

Tier 1:
(9) Coconut and PB
(2) Papa New Guinea Vanilla Bean

Tier 2:
(5) Coffee
(8) Smore

Tier 3:
(7) cinnamon/coconut/syrup (too maple heavy)
(4) Vanilla and marshmallow (something on the finish that I wasn’t into. Maybe the mallow)

Tier 4:
Voodoo Black Magick French Oak Bourbon Cognac. (Thin and suffered by comparison)

 

Great breakdown! Where did Eunoia 7 rank, if you tried it?

 

My buddy and I passed only because we were walking out with 4 combined bottles so we figured we’d target the one offs instead.

I’ll add that the coffee Blend had Supermassive levels of coffee but with the bigger body

 

WTF? Will there be more kegs tomorrow or once gone, gone of the variants? Be pretty low paying $100 and having limited options just because you went in for a Sunday slot.

 

no they have a keg each session. But line up a little early (15 minutes or so) if you want 9

 

Alright. Phew. My self-entitlement can take a back seat now.

 

Think 9 is really overhyped, but to each his own.
My rankings for 3:30 Sat session:

WCB 4
Cerebral Mysterious Forces (Blend ?)
WCB 5
WCB 7
WCB 9
WCB 2
WCB 6

Mrs Bob Cobb:

WCB 9 (she kind of was meh on this at first, which maybe speaks more to what she thought of the rest)
WCB 5
WCB 6
WCB 4
Cerebral
WCB 2/7

I assume all of the WCB are all pre-blending, as most just felt a bit rough to me (much like Rev release variants). Food was not bad. If you know what you want, would recommend doing all pours your first time through. A lot of people near the front grabbed 1 and am not sure they knew you could get more. It probably took 30-45 minutes for the line to die down.

We grabbed food and bottles on earlier side (within first hour) too and had no issue. Guessing most of the backlog was for those who waited until very end.

 

I still find it funny they are creating FOMO during a limited ticketed event that cost $100.

I would have preferred them make enough of each batch and have less options, but I suppose part of this tasting is a survey opportunity for the brewery to see what people really go for, hence the “What Could Be” label.

I’ll be excited to try any of them though, except the cookies and cream since I wasn’t a big fan of their Brooklyn Bagel.

 

Eh maybe. If they made less of 9 then I agree. But if they made the same amounts of each, then the fomo is on us, right?
