Podcast Episode: Craft Beer Releases And Pairings

Leave a comment

Pip: Welcome back to the site where the tap list is basically a news feed — iabeerbaron has been busy, and the range this week runs from hazy IPAs to a sit-down dinner with eight beer pours and a chef.

Mara: That’s right. We’re covering a wave of new arrivals hitting Abu Nawas, from Phase Three, Pipeworks, and a trio of other breweries, plus a collaborative beer dinner that’s worth knowing about. Let’s start with what’s coming to the cooler.

New Arrivals at Abu Nawas

Pip: The Phase Three post is doing a lot of work this week — it’s not just one beer, it’s an entire lineup drop, anchored by a collaboration concept that brings in three other breweries at once.

Mara: The post frames it directly: “This year’s lineup features P3 flagship Pixel alongside three all-new hazies, each brewed in collaboration to highlight the different approaches we all take to recipe design and process. Same concept, totally unique expressions.”

Pip: So the Pixel and Pals mixed four-pack is essentially a side-by-side tasting of brewery philosophies, all in one box. That’s a genuinely useful format for someone trying to understand what makes each house style different.

Mara: Beyond the collab pack, the Phase Three drop is wide. There’s a Dark Czech Lager cold-conditioned for eight weeks, a Mango Lawn Chair wheat ale, Chicago Sunshine — a DDH Hazy IPA with Citra, Dolcita, and Eclipse — and core staples like the Lager, Amber, and Hefe.

Pip: Eight weeks of cold conditioning for a dark lager is not a casual commitment. That’s the kind of timeline that gets quietly buried in a tap list.

Mara: The Pipeworks post covers a different kind of range — barrel-aged heavyweights alongside crushable everyday drinkers. On the big end, there’s Barrel Aged S’more Money S’more Problems, a bourbon barrel imperial stout at 13.5%, and Port Barrel Aged Murderous, a barleywine aged in port and bourbon barrels at 14.8%.

Pip: And then on the other end of that spectrum, Pipeworks Beer — described simply as “It is BEER. Say no more.” Which is either the most confident product description ever written or the least.

Mara: The Pipeworks lineup also includes Lime Guppy, Turtles in Stereo with New Zealand hops, Many Hats Hazy Double IPA, Horchata Rice Ale, and the Ninja vs. Unicorn universe of IPAs. Then the Skygazer, Urban Chestnut, and O’Fallon post rounds things out with margarita-style sours, radlers, German lagers, and O’Fallon’s Vanilla Wafer Cream Ale and Dad’s Scotch Oatmeal Cookie Stout.

Mara: That’s a wide seasonal spread — from tart fruit sours built for patios to rich cookie-inspired stouts.

Pip: From lawn chairs to lagering tanks. The beer dinner is a different kind of occasion entirely — let’s get into that.

One Night, Two Breweries, Four Courses

Pip: The Field Day and Lua beer dinner is a specific kind of event — limited capacity, one night only, and structured around the idea that pairing beer with food is a collaborative act, not an afterthought.

Mara: The post puts it this way: “Each course includes two curated pours, one from Field Day and one from Lua, designed to complement the dish and showcase each brewery’s approach to flavor, balance, and style.”

Pip: That structure means you’re not just eating dinner with beer on the side — you’re actively comparing two breweries’ interpretations of the same moment on the plate.

Mara: The full ticket includes a welcome collaborative table beer, the four-course chef-curated dinner, and eight paired pours — nine total. Doors open at six, dinner at six-thirty, at Field Day Brewing Co. General admission is ninety dollars plus a twenty-one percent staff gratuity and sales tax.

Pip: Nine pours across a four-course dinner is a considered pace. This is an evening, not a tasting flight.

Mara: A lot of ground this week — from collaborative hazy packs to barrel-aged barleywines to a dinner designed around the idea that two breweries together can say something neither could alone.

Pixel & Pals Worldwide 2026 6/4/16oz CANS – P3 teamed up with @parishbrewingco, @messorembracitorium, and @brujos_brewing, to bring back the 2026 version of Pixel & Pals WorldWide—a one-of-a-kind mixed 4-pack built around Pixel-inspired hazy IPAs. This year’s lineup features P3 flagship Pixel alongside three all-new hazies, each brewed in collaboration to highlight the different approaches we all take to recipe design and process. Same concept, totally unique expressions.

PHASE THREE BREWING:

  • Phase Three Lager 4/6/12oz CANS – Pale Lager. A crisp, refreshing pale lager brewed with Midwest-malted barley and American hops. Cold-fermented for a smooth profile, P3 Lager features a soft malt backbone and a clean, easy-drinking finish. 5% – IL

    Phase Three P3 Hefe 4/6/12oz CANS – P3 take, on a Bavarian-style wheat ale. Features notes of ripe banana, soft clove spice, and fresh baked bread from a traditional yeast strain.

    Phase Three Dark Czech Lager 6/4/16oz CANS – Czech and Bohemian-grown malts, traditional Czech lager yeast, a touch of Czech Saaz hops, and a long eight weeks spent cold conditioning in our horizontal lagering tanks provide lightly roasted herbal baker’s chocolate notes. 5.3% ABV – IL

    Phase Three Chicago Sunshine 6/4/16oz CANS – DDH Hazy IPA w/ Citra, Dolcita and Eclipse. A haze loaded with citrus and stone fruit, dripping with juicy orange, candied peel, and a snap of resin.

    Phase Three Pixel 6/4/16oz CANS – P3 flagship hazy IPA is built on a soft base of oats, wheat, and Pilsner malt, then loaded with Citra for that signature burst of bright citrus and juicy character. 6.5% ABV – IL
