Side Project (2018)

It's possible, but every other Fruited Fermier has been BA for longer than the time between opening and those

 

Do you expect a huge turnout for it? I’m thinking of swinging down to St Louis on Sunday but don’t want to fight a huge crowd.
Also, will their to go list be changing soon, do you think?

 

Yes, it’ll be a big turnout. Releases are a blast though, lots of generous people sharing beer if you wanted to partake.

 

I might partake a little bit. Driving back to Madison soon after, so I want to get in and get out, more than likely.

 

What are the chances of any kind of new release the following Saturday (1/28) given the release on 1/22?

 

What time do you think is too late to get in line? I might not be able to make it until 1130am or so. Also, I'm assuming this'll be like 1pp?

 

There's no rhyme or reason to them. Nobody knows. Other than Madagascar is that weekend, and the STL breweries tend to not cannibalize each other.

 

Does anyone know what the current onsite bottles are? Thinking about making the trek down and this will decide if I need a room or not. Thanks.

 

They generally post daily updates on Instagram, Twitter, etc, but the Cellar website is usually current (rose still to go!)

I scrolled through their tweets but the last pic I saw they just had drafts and to go bottles on the chalk board.

 

11:30 is typically when Cory comes out to count to decide limits, it's hard to determine if that'll get you a bottle. It'll likely take 30-45 minutes to get through the line from that point (after the noon release). I'm guessing you'll be okay, as they released the info to the public early, I'm guessing there are a decent amount of bottles.

 

As far as I know the only time they've turned people away bottle-less is the magnums this past summer.

 

That's reassuring. I suppose I'll at least try to get through and if I get turned away, oh well.

 

If you drink a bottle on site at the cellar can you take the glass home with you after you are finished?

 

Yes, you can take the empty bottle

 

Limits?

 

1 pp

 

Any chance it makes it till later in the day?

 

I don’t think so. They were line counting about 10 mins ago. My guess is that they’re running low, but I haven’t made it in yet.

 

That sucks. I was guessing with such an early announcement that they had a big batch like all the other recent releases.
