Phase Three Brewing Company's history is complex and better told at a table drinking a couple beers.  While we wish we could do that with you now, we'll do our best to tell you the short story here.

Shaun, Evan and Brittany all started working with each other at a Restaurant and Brewery in Schaumburg, Illinois.  Shaun and Brittany would later get married and have two beautiful children together, Avery and Kaden.  Shaun and Evan became best friends, so much so that Evan was best man at his wedding.  While at the restaurant and brewery Shaun started making some pretty exciting beers and was able to get a good name for himself for it.  Brittany, who has a graphic design degree, was designing one-off labels for him. And Evan, was busy managing the restaurant and brewery and helping to coordinate beer release events that we’re gaining traction. Things were getting pretty exciting.

Shaun eventually moved on to a new brewery down in Villa Park and helped get things off the ground and got their beer program built up from the ground.  Brittany continued doing labels for the beer and shortly after opening, Evan came on board to be the General Manager.  After a couple years the three of them decided it was time to do something on their own.

They reached out to a brewery up in Lake Zurich, Illinois who had some room for them to start contract brewing.  The brewery was able to help them out and offer them two tanks to use once every three weeks.  Fast-forward about nine months later when Shaun, Evan and Brittany had a full team of people helping brew, package, and distribute beer.  They also worked out a deal to purchase all of the equipment and take over the lease and start operations in Lake Zurich on their own.  Phase Three Brewing is a culmination of everything the three has learned in the industry, collectively and thoughtfully put together.  Growing from those two tanks to now having more than 12 tanks, the ride has been scary and stressful, but most importantly, extremely fun and satisfying for them to watch it turn into what it is today.

Phase Three Brewing has been a passion project for everyone involved and we take our quality and beer seriously, and strive to constantly improve.  We all hope to see you one day and share a beer and get to know you.  We cannot express how thankful we are to be in an industry like this and have the tremendous support we get from our fans.
