Side Project / Shared (2022)

Fixed

 

i dunno man all of them have been fantastic so far lol.

im ready for BA CSV to make a comeback

 

I’ve had em all - I’ll stand by my statement. There’s something about “just plain ole” Anabasis, BBT, and other non-adjunct bangers that hit the spot. Still enjoy adjuncts, but less so in barleywine.

 

I think it was the founding father Patrick Henry that said, “give me Anabasis or give me death”. Pretty sure that was the quote.

 

If Side Project & Shared dropped BBT and BACSV annually, I'd be absolutely stoked. As far as I'm concerned, those are jewels in the crowns of both breweries. Anabasis being the third annual drop would be the dream line-up. Everything else is gravy.

I get the desire for new, but in this case, I'd take tried & true releases. These three beers tick nearly all the boxes I ask for in beer. And I'd be more likely to pick them up over collaborations / double barrel work if the original three stay a reasonable price.

 

STL is becoming a barleywine desert. I don't know why. They sell out instantly. Is it more difficult (or more expensive) to make a barleywine than a stout?

 

New batches of D9/D12 gang rise up

 

There's 2,325 bottles of Motuekain the online shop. So, you're definitely going to be getting a package with 2 of these at some point (likely the near future).

All joking aside, doesn't it seem odd for there to be so much of a $20 pale ale? Surely this is going to sit for a long time, right? That seems counter to the idea of how the brewer would expect that beer to be consumed. Right? I'm no hop head, but that seems right.

 

I think that DH Saisons last a lot longer in quality than a typical hopped Pale Ale . The previous batch of Single Farm Nelson Saison which I believe is 9 months old at this point is still quite delicious.

 

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if this was technically a saison since it is a “farmhouse pale ale”, and wasn’t sure how that affected the lasting hop presence. Appreciate the info.

 

Here's a write-up from Paste about the invitational for those who may be interested.

lol they liked WAC

 

Is the consensus that it was bad or something?

 

I think it just didn't live up to the hype for some at the Invitational.

Curious if I was at the same beer festival as this person.

 

no i loved it. but in this thread and on the FB it sounds like it was slightly off at the fest

 

i also loved it.

beer is so subjective

 

I can’t believe we live in a world where we’re getting two BA Ambientes before another BA Coco Vibes and people think West Ashley Cuvée is good.

 

Been a little too quiet lately….
