Side Project Brewing (2024)

Pickups say proxy can pick up for up to 5 people - does that mean 5 orders? Like if I send him orders for Grand Cru, 10+10 and D18 for two people (6 individual tickets) and try to minimize his trips to one since they all overlap, is that going to cause an issue? If so, I'll obviously figure something out - just don't know if the rest of you have run into this.

 

no it is just a 5 person limit, so any one person can have many orders.

 

Where did you see that?

 

The blog post and other than that time when they did Zwanze the brewery anny weekend that’s how it’s always worked.

 

Is their email server stuck on CST (standard) and not CDT (daylight), the email came through a hour after it went live??? Not like it’s a big deal for this release, but could be upcoming….

 

No, they claim it can’t be fixed and it’s a Shopify issue

 

That seems like a BS response personally… the email comes from their account not Shopify… it was fine before the time change, wasn’t it?

 

So the email and link to purchase only goes out to LC members? If LC members don’t buy the full allotment the rest goes to the general public?

 

So Bleu sounds yummy. Or am I doing it wrong if I care about those?

 

Yes, only to LC members. Yes, but the majority of the time LC scoops it all

 

i think it sounds very good.

 

Same. If every package was just white labels I would buy them all with a big smile on my face but the fruited sours are usually too sour for me and I'll never buy a package if I don't want every beer in it

 

I don't see that in the blog post for either Zwanze 2024 or 2022 that the Brewery is closed the day after Zwanze event, could you point me to it? Sorry, just planning to travel in for a pickup that Sunday.

 

I also think this looks delicious.

 

That day = Zwanze day

 

Oops, I get it now! Thanks

 

No their fruited sours are great, infact it’s been quite a while since they’ve released one actually. The only worry is if it’s anything like blueberry Flanders lol

 

I opened a 750 of blueberry flanders a few weeks ago with some friends. Each took one drink and drain poured it. Tasted like vinegar lol. Probably my least favorite SP beer I've ever had

 

To be clear, I don't care for the Flanders style. And I definitely didn't care for the SP one. Just not my thing. I saw the label on Bleu and had the same visceral reaction as others. Then I read the description. For those that don't get the email...

Bleu
This year, we wanted to bring you a couple more of our "375mL sours". You know, the beers that put us in the conversation of American Wild Ales producers and beers you all love - Fuzzy, Thicket, Balaton. We are bringing you a completely new beer to start this off and one that uses one of my favorite fruits for wild/sour/funky beer, but in a way we never have done before - with our blonde wild ale base we use for Fuzzy. Introducing Bleu - a Missouri Wild Ale aged in french oak and then referemented on Oregon Blueberries in Missouri Oak. We have used blueberries in Saisons (Bleuet du Fermier) and with a Flanders (Blueberry Flanders), but never with our signature blonde Missouri Wild Ale. This beer will hopefully find a love amongst many of you and will be added to the lineup of our sour 375s as we start brewing and aging more of these!

 

I didn't bother to read the description on that beer, but that does sound really good.
