A Note on This Beer

Some things are destined to move through phases: The moon. The weather. Me wearing lots of black clothes in my early teen years.

But today’s beer is not just a phase — it’s Anchorage’s Phases!

One sip of this bright and fruity Blueberry Sour Ale will plant you firmly in the Sour-lovin’ scene for good. Because wild ‘n funky, beers are one of the things Anchorage does best.

From the coveted Migrating Eyes to the 4+ UT-rated vintages of The Experiment, the Anchorage brewers truly express their mastery in their tart and funky beers. And with Phases, you get a brand new taste of that mastery, wrapped in layers of lip-tingling blueberry preserves.

Because this is the first 100% spontaneous fermented beer Anchorage has ever released!

To make it, the brewers aged a spontaneously fermented Ale and in French Oak for 27 months! Then, for the pièce de résistance, they finished it on heaps of Wild Alaskan Blueberries. The resulting purple-hued pour tastes like lip-smacking blueberry lemonade!

If you haven’t yet entered the “Sour” phase in your craft beer journey, now would be a great time to get moving. 

*A few years ago, Anchorage held a fundraiser for a close friend undergoing cancer treatment — and one auction item was to brew a beer with headbrewer Gabe Fletcher. Suki and Leanne were the proud winners, and 2+ years later, Phases is ready to drink!

*Thrillist calls Anchorage one of the Best Breweries in America

Opened one right away with the intent to age a few. Hoping age does it some good as it was very tart.

Very impressed by this. Leathery funk and huge blueberry skins on the nose. On the palate, more blueberry flesh than Blåbær or De Cam, and a wild tartness. Really delicious.

This is a sour ale clocking in at 6%, and like every Anchorage offering, it's a work of art! Agreed 27 months in French oak, who would expect any less? This one is a Jammy raspberry aromatic burst up front followed by citrus zest and balsamic vinegar notes, and more acidic blueberry tartness with a leathery funk on the finish! Crisp and highly effervescent! Beautiful and refreshing! I'd highly recommend this to anyone! 🍻😁👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
