Phantom Carriage Appreciation

Wonderfully run event. My buddy and I were very pleasantly surprised. I probably shouldn't have started with System of a Stout with the Monkish Anniversary to go to afterwards...

 

Surprised to see bottles of Raspberry Bergman are still available

 

that website was not reacting very well. The mobile site was complete shit. besides, everyone's in line getting shit faced for 4oz of Bottle Logic...

 

Phantom Carriage was quick to respond on Instagram and Facebook and got it fixed. Dang good customer service.

 

yeah, no doubt. Got bottles fairly easy afterwards. Please let this not be like that stout...

 

Well Bergman is a great base beer, so I think raspberries on it should work out nicely

 

I haven't been to PC, but any thoughts of the upcoming membership?

ill be passing.

 

I might do it. I've been impressed with pretty much all of their bottled beers, except the stout (imagine that). I think the two payment options are pretty cool too. Perks seem nice

 

PC really doing a Ballast Point APPRECIATION night?


LAME!!

 

I pulled the trigger on a membership with PC. Great food, BA broadacres is outstanding, as well as some of the recent IPA's. Plus the customer service is awesome and brewery itself is just a badass experience. I have faith in PC being able to provide a quality membership

 

Looked at this for a while because I have had a few nice things from them... the 60 day pickup window made it a pass. Too many small boxes back and forth to keep from forfeiting beer. If I was local i'd give it a year.

 

The GF joined the barrel guild. Hope to make the pick ups, if not, I'll try to have them shipped. Dig me some PC beverages!

 

My very first experience with PC was a bit negative, mostly for what I will call "public relations" issues. However, I've been back a few times and have tried as much as I can. Continued improvement. As short a time as perhaps 4 months ago my conclusion was that PC has some potential but was still a bit lacking. Not any more! This place is producing some first class offerings and being consistent about it. Creative, quality and tasty.

Taste the Broadacres Peach if you have any doubt. This is as good a peach beer as it gets and its wonderful now; in fact, too much age may really ruin this otherwise amazingly good and drinkable beer.

I pulled the trigger and joined. Candidly, I was surprised that there are still memberships open given the current love of sours and wild ales and the kinds of things PC is doing. I'm a fan.

 

Decided to join. The beers recently have been fantastic, and I love the PC crew. Hopefully this brings great beer in the new year. Looking forward to it

 

Opened a Raspberry Bergman last weekend and wow, amazing beer. The time in the bottle really improved it.

 

These guys are crushing it beer wise (love the Muis dry hop variants) and I think their food offerings are fantastic as well. They'll be at the We Love Long Beach Homebrew Festival this weekend, not sure what they're pouring though. Hoping for a mixed fermentation saison to compliment the artisinal sausage in the VIP garden...
