Side Project Brewing (2025)

RIP the packages that were on the calendar

 

noticed that too - must be the public release

 

The email says coming to the LC online shop.

 

Why do you think that is?

 

Beer fatigue, package fatigue, cost fatigue. Also you can buy basically any beer online and get a proxy to ship to you. Most people would buy multiples to have beer to trade. Instead you can just buy what you want and I think since SP has minimal
Trade or secondary value anymore, it sits longer.

 

Just opened my bottle of Mure Du Fermier. It's absolutely mouth puckering. I really wish they would dial back the sourness on some of these.

 

but who would buy them if they dial it back?

 

Could be the second beer that was listed in the pack, Tamarind, which seems to be a new beer. So likely LC gets a sale of the pack on Thursday.

 

I don’t think they’ve ever bundled a dark beer with another dark beer. Except when langst got rebundled.

99.9% chance Tamarind is a sour.

 

BBT/Continuance

I agree though, think that was probably a mistake reference to a public pack.

The "malty" beer on Thursday seems to be something new. Maybe the TG collab????

 

Will there be enough to go around?

 

The solo bottle + package was probably a prior format copy/paste

 

It had its own picture & showed a brand new beer.


So I guess we at least know what the public package will be.

 

New Derivation blend sounds great.

 

I did a double take at the price but went back and looked at purchase history and D15 was the last 750ml of Derivation that I bought and it was $75 back in 2021 so I guess this shouldn't be that much of a surprise

 

I did the same thing.

 

Totally. But for once, I'd like to see 'em swing in the other direction. Chuck a careless amount of cinnamon in there. Get a lil' negligent with the nibs. Just an absolutely reckless touch of Tahitian

But in all srsness, this will be the first 750 Derivation since ... D16 right? Almost three years? And D16 was basically *only* to-go (am I remembering that right?) -- so D15 probably is the better comp. Four years ago! Neat

 

So is this just going to be a surprise release without any info ahead of time whatsoever?

 

We have had a few like that, the first reverents kinda came out of the blue, same with sound cycle.

There’s probably a couple more than popped up suddenly that’s escaping me. Going back I feel like terminus may have had a quick turn around too
