Hop BroExactly, and this time they even published all 8 taps, explicitly saying the anniversary beer Phase 3 is down to two kegs, which is hot stuff.
MugiWhat?! Hearing "only two kegs of Phase 3" and my heart is already running!
Hop BroThe thing is, Phase 3 has changed over time because of a cold-conditioning effect, and it's gotten clearer with the hop aroma really coming forward.
MugiWait, wait, what is this cold-whatever effect? Suddenly it's a science class!

MugiOhhh! Then pairing it with simmered hamburger steak and mushroom curry sounds like the ultimate pairing!
Hop BroYep. With a lineup centered on house beers plus guest beers like Wah, Borrowed Thyme, Delay, BPM 70, Fuzz, and even Summer Mandarin Saison, this is basically a full-on comparison tasting.
MugiIt's settled! Check the latest post and let's go hunt for tonight's drink. I'm sure both me and Hop Bro are dying to drink!
