{"title":"Phase Three Brewing","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhase Three Brewing is based in Lake Zurich, Illinois, and was started by three colleagues from the brewpub world: Shaun, Evan and Brittany. The brewery is known for a broad IPA range and an in-depth lager programme. At Hoptimaal you'll find strong IPAs from them, highly rated on Untappd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--verhaal--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom two rented tanks to a brewery of their own\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhase Three Brewing began with three people who knew each other from a brewery restaurant in Schaumburg, Illinois. Shaun made the beers there and built a good name with them. Brittany, who has a degree in graphic design, drew one-off labels for him. Evan ran the restaurant and helped organise beer releases. After that, Shaun built up the beer programme of a brewery in Villa Park. Brittany kept designing labels and Evan became general manager there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a few years, they wanted something of their own. They started as contract brewers at a brewery in Lake Zurich, with two tanks they could use once every three weeks. About nine months later, the three of them had a team for brewing, packaging and distributing the beer. They bought the equipment and took over the lease. By now there are more than twelve tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA brewery with brewpub roots\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewery is at 932 Donata Court, in the northwest of Lake Zurich. You'll find a steam-heated 15 bbl brewhouse with three vessels, a GEA centrifuge, a CODI counter-pressure filling line, an in-house quality lab and a 3,000 square foot taproom with outdoor seating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom that brewpub history, they brew ales and lagers in a wide range of styles. With hand-picked hops and their own processing methods, they build a broad IPA range. They also have an extensive lager programme, with two horizontal fermentation tanks of 30 bbl. On their own website you'll see, among others, Far From The Tree, a double dry-hopped double IPA with Citra and Simcoe, and a gose with black Himalayan salt and fruit purée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePhase Three Brewing at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith us you'll find IPAs from Phase Three Brewing in 47.3 cl packaging, with a strength between 8 and 10%.

Do take them out of the fridge a few minutes beforehand: at around 8 °C, hop and fruit come through better. At 8 to 10% alcohol, these are beers to sip slowly. Don't leave them lying around for months, because the hop aromas fade over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--faq--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does Phase Three Brewing come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhase Three Brewing comes from Lake Zurich, Illinois, in America.
