Phase Three Brewing (2023)

I finally got an email, but it was of the "we're sorry" variety. Turns out me getting the option to "purchase" a membership in Oznr was a mistake, and I'm actually not at/near the top of the list and eligible to join the Ambassadors this year.

 

Oznr continues to be the worst app on my phone.

 

Not this year.

 

I wish I could pass on my membership opportunity to someone. Would’ve done this 3 years ago but since then Rev has taken most of my money.

 

I dk, the Costco app kinda blows.

 

Seriously. Rev since '19 has stolen the show for me. I go to P3 for pours but rarely miss not having a bottle. An email invite to membership would give me a real pause and thought, because while I like a lot of the beers just fine the expense of having and "needing" a year's worth of P3 releases in bottles would be a real question mark.

 

Sign ups are live for memberships - you have until 5p tomorrow to claim.

if they don’t open elmhurst soon, I’m going to regret this.

actually, no, I feel like I already regret it. But maybe I regret it less than FOMO! #HumanPsychology #DryJanuaryChoices

 

hell yeah

 

Curvature going to 12 oz cans along with a new Stout blend series called Affinity.

 

Yeah, interesting they are making Curvature their distro stout brand, but the change to a smaller format is always welcome. I’m hoping they aren’t looking to charge full BA prices for these half and half BA blends but the cynic in me will not be surprised if they do.

 

Side Project blended 16 oz cans are $20+tax . We shall see.

 

If we're honest here, most Eunoia variants don't have much barrel presence, so it makes sense to just blend it anyway. More yield, same base flavors and adjuncts.

I'd love to have Affinity be heavy adjunct-focused so that Eunoia can focus on less adjuncts and more barrel, otherwise it seems like a waste.

Are you taking issue with him saying that most Eunoia have little barrel? Seems pretty consistent across most responses to this

 

Little barrel? Most of them have had NO barrel presence as far as I'm concerned.

 

Match made in heaven!

 

I've never gotten to try any, but, yea, that seems to be what everyone says. I was just trying to be courteous as outsider, and follow audi's post.

 

I've only tried a few of the Eunoia beers but I could never quite pick up on any significant barrel presence. It's only after having Curvature beers that I could tell the adjuncts are more pronounced in them versus Eunoia, so maybe the barrel treatment is 'balancing' the adjuncts in Eunoia a bit but the barrel is still muted for the most part?
