phase out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gradually stop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'taphouse after review' is the wordplay.
'taphouse' anagrams to 'PHASE OUT'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'using' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for phase out that I've seen before include "Gradually reduce" , "Bring gradually to an end, discontinue" , "Terminate gradually" , "Diminish and cease use gradually" , "Taphouse (anag)" .)
