Phase Three Brewing (2020)

I can’t speak to the June batch (my camera was pointed at the logo), but the August batch didn’t have CTZ on the label

 

Yep you’re right. Maybe they ran out of CTZ?

 

When is Phase 4 coming?

 

Hilarious

 

I read an article that detailed Ram MORE, now this is Phase 3 so this is it not Phase 4? Why is that dumb? What’s next

 

well this is the first time he’s owned the brewery he’s worked at...

 

Don't bite.

 

?

you know something?

 

The new double nectar is really good. They really nailed the watermelon jolly rancher flavor.

 

Yeah it reminded me of watermelon jello (which I haven’t had in a decade)

 

Looks like Consume in LZ is giving us a sneak preview of the upcoming P3 release slate before the holidays. They are offering a mixed 4 pack of P3 beer along with their catering options. The 4 new beers are:

Warmest Wishes - Oatmeal Milk Stout - 7.3%
Just Use Your Wings - Winter IPA - 7.5%
DDH Perpetual Sounds - Hazy DIPA - 8%
Double Nectar Peach Cobbler - Fruited Sour - 7.8%

 

What the Hell is a “winter” ipa????

 

As we're sitting here, my wife goes to grab a drink from the fridge and says "Hey, which beer is the one that smelled and tasted like Starburst?"

Me: "The one in the black can with the squiggly green and pink lines."

Captain Christmas: *opens can* "Yep, this is the one!"

 

Marketing.

 

clearly...

 

Looks like it is basically Winter Warmer ale
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/styles/47/

"Though it dates back to at least the 1600s, the winter ale isn't technically an official style like IPA, witbier, or stout are. Also called a winter warmer, the strong, usually dark ales that fall into this category were first brewed in Northern Europe to help give imbibers a little liquor-fueled heat. Those original winter warmers sported high ABVs, though many of today's seasonal winter ales are now lower, between 6-8%. ....But not all of them."

Why even put IPA in the title then? Winter warmers are nothing like IPAs.

 

Feel free to reach out to Shaun. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer.

 

He probably made it hazy

 

It's not hazy, it's not a winter warmer. It's an "American IPA" brewed for the winter. It's not light like terrrazzzo, but also not as dark as an Amber. Somewhere in the middle. It's got Cascade, Centennial and Chinook. It's loosely inspired by Sierra Nevada's celebration ale.
