Phoenix

A ship's hold in a strip mall and a train car in the desert.

Phoenix hides its drinks in vessels: UnderTow puts you below deck on a clipper ship, in an Arcadia coffee-shop basement, and Platform 18 seats you in a 1920s Pullman car rolling through an imagined West, both from the same obsessive team.
