Side Project Brewing (2025)

Worse than Derivation Grand Cru?

 

Not at all upset about not going to STL. Only handful of options I'd be interested in have been available onsite and at O&S a bit the past year.

Is there a special draft list for the LC parties that hasn't been shared here yet?

Honestly, Shin Shin would've been a big get for me. O&S had DB Anabasis this year for their anniversary.

 

I didn’t have a picture of the draft list but there’s nothing mind blowing. AdF b2 & BBT 22 were the highlights.

 

I saw a list, but I don’t post pics from my phone. I think the only dark beers on draft were BBT20, bubble wrap and some DB BW from private press. The bottle list wasn’t super exciting when you compare it to other big bottle lists from other events. Basically BBTs, derivations, and some, but not all anniversary beers. And obviously non-dark beers, as @Heisenbrew mentioned, but nothing like Tete B1 or anything like that. Nothing that old, obscure, or exciting.

 

I haven’t had it and I never will. Unless someone I know offers me a pour.

 

I thought it was underrated

 

I still have a bottle of DGC but was unimpressed when I had it on site. Hoping some time in the cellar will give that a hand

 

PSA: Partying with @flat_lander may result in a pretty fantastic time. Advise caution. Drink water.

Tip of the cap to the two Js and K. Great night.

 

I need food. So sleepy and hungry...

 

I mean White Castle was right there.

 

Charging $10 more for 10 Year Barleywine at the LC Party than it was at the cellar on the same days pretty much sums up how SP feels about their members.

 

The 10 Year and the Cellar Tenth are different beers.

 

Uncleared, icey sidewalks paired with too many bottles picked up at the end would've resulted in certain death.

On a related note, if you ever want to see something pretty funny, feed me Side Project beer for a good 7+ hours then watch me try and fill out a pick up card for myself and a few proxies. @smalony can confirm.

 

This made me LOL

 

Were people able to attend multiple sessions? I have seen a few people that were there both Friday and Saturday.

 

As far as I understood, you were to pick one session. I'm sure people found ways to attend more than one. Quite frankly, one was PLENTY for me. If you want to go for a bang bang on that event, have at it.

 

Please tell me this is a Louis C.K reference cuz i say this all the time

 

I heard it from a friend of mine years ago. He defined it as eating two full meals at a restaurant one right after the other. Or two different restaurants.

 

This is just based on my observation from stout week last year at the cellar, but people just kinda do whatever they want at SP. I was there on Saturday and was about 75th in line when I arrived. When the doors opened I was about 130th in line. Not to mention empty bottles all over the place. SP probably didn’t enforce the 1 party per person policy.

 

I thought the same thing. Indian and diner food.
