Side Project Brewing (2025)

Same! In in VA and I'm 828 miles away - I'm not too proud to beg for a proxy for Shin Shin. That was one that we all tried multiple times during stout week a couple of years ago.

 

This is an exciting email today.

 

Wonder if those not able to attend the LC parties are going to get a crack at D21?

 

Wonder how limited shin shin will be. Were included bottles only 5 this year?

 

I assume it goes on sale next tuesday with ip ppl getting to buy it twice

 

Man, this is where my head’s at right now too.

I was already bummed at having to miss this year’s LC parties (which seem like an upgrade over the past year or two) — so, hopefully, they’ll still give us poor shmucks that can’t make it a shot at the D21!

 

Am I off on the count of 5 included beers for LC of this is the last one?

 

That's the count I have...

CdC #13
LC 2025.1
LC 2025.2
Single Thread 2025
LC 2025.3

7 bottles last year.

 

I thought it was 6 last year. But looks like it was only 5. Plus a glass.

Vintage 2020
Le Saissoner 6
DDH Le Saissoner 2
Mure de Fermier
Saison du Ble 14

Unless I'm missing a package.

 

Uprooted and Pulling Nails - LC24

 

I stand corrected. I had that package on an order ticket w/ With Brad, so I missed it.

 

I think giving exclusive bottles as the included bottles instead of easily to access white labels is definitely worth getting a few less

 

Id venture to guess that members will get opportunity to buy D21 next week or after the party, but dont expect the same for SHIN SHIN going off past releases , luckily i have to go pick up a lot of beer from buddies from last few months.

 

Yeah - I second this. Very good point.

 

D21 = 21 vanillas

 

Nope, we got single farm Nelson instead!………………..

 

File this under "LC members will never be happy" but I strongly disagree. If we're gonna get $200 worth of saisons either way I'd much rather a higher number of easy drinking white labels than get less bottles of more experimental stuff since I find some of the Pulling Nails/CDC to have a really wide variance and sometimes just be not that good. Grisette isn't the best beer in the world but I like the reliability of those type of beers more.

 

I wish the $200 includes beers of sours was a mixed case of grisette and DH grisette.

 

Looks like Weldwerks released a second blend of MD. $28 for 500ml. Jealous.
