Phase Three Brewing Company

United States · Regional · Known for Imperial IPA · IPA
Known for Imperial IPA · IPA

Founded in 2019 by Shaun Berns, Brittany Berns, and Evan Morris in Lake Zurich, Illinois — the name refers to this being the third time the trio worked together making beer, following stints at Ram Brewery and More Brewing Company. Phase Three is built almost entirely around New England IPAs: heavily dry-hopped, soft-bodied, and juice-forward. Core beers include Muon Juice, True Colors, and the imperial IPA Midwest Sound. For drinkers who want haze and hop intensity without compromise, this is a reliable address.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
