Side Project Fuzzy Release

How many people would you guess were behind you?

 

150?

 

Do they have TV's in the taproom for the game? Also do they serve food?

 

They serve food. TV holds the beer list, not the game.

THERE WILL BE NO STANDING IN LINE/CAMPING/DRINKING OVERNIGHT OUTSIDE OF PERENNIAL…..

I know that we have let that happen before, and it seemed like a ton of fun, but I feel as though there is a time in which this will cause problems, and I am afraid that that time is this Saturday…

Our building is not owned by us, there are tenants that live above the brewery, people were a little “too happy” at my initial release after a night of drinking and drinking overnight outside of the brewery without any brewery employees present will be frowned upon by the local police. I am afraid that the shear volume of people will cause a problem… Please understand my concern, please respect our neighborhood and most importantly please respect our neighbors.

My proposed solution/alternative:

BOTTLE SHARE AND LINE CAN START AT 9AM.

I am humbled by your support, this is a great problem for my tiny brewing operation to have, but it is a problem that needs to be addressed nonetheless…

I hope everyone understands and helps to make this a fun, open release of Fuzzy and all good beer alike. Hoping to have time to join the bottle share with many of you…

Until Saturday,

Cheers…

 

I can only imagine the mad rush at 9am. :/

 

Damn, did they all get the B&W?

 

This is gonna be a cluster eff.... (pre)trades just got a serious monkey wrench

 

Post was updated to say that it is now a raffle.

BOTTLE SHARE STARTS AT 9AM.

TICKETS WILL BE HANDED OUT RAFFLE STYLE AT 9:15.
(MEANING IF YOU COME AT 4AM OR 9AM, YOU WILL BOTH HAVE THE EXACT SAME OPPORTUNITY TO GET BOTTLE(S), SO PLEASE COME AT 9AM TO RESPECT OUR NEIGHBORS. THE WISE DOUG T. AND ERIC H. SAID THAT THIS WAS COMMON AT CONCERTS BACK IN THE DAY).


Good luck fellas. Beer is crazy.

 

Now this is genius.

 

Would suck to drive 4+ hours only to get nothing and have to drive home empty handed

 

At least you could get a fuzzy pour and participate in what will be an awesome bottle share, plus drink Perennial beers in the tasting room

 

Shhhhh The less people that come, the better chance that I get Fuzzy

 

Yes. The B&W is gone.

 

I can only hope that for local's sake, the raffle keeps some of the Chicago beer nerds away.

 

To be honest, locals enjoyed it Wednesday. There were seriously shady [re: OBVIOUS MULES] people in line Wednesday too, that took away from the locals' share.

Furthermore, Side Project did it right (or wrong depending what side you're on) by making the bottles smaller, 375ml, and they know there will be a lot of beer travelers coming in- the hype of a longer than normal advertising stretch, the hype from the recognition at a prestigious beer fest, and of course, the release on Easter Saturday allows people having Good Friday off to make it in.

 

It is now essentially another release for the St. Louis locals. They all love it, and everyone that was willing to travel doesn't.

 

And I can't hate on Side Project if that was the secret reason and perceived side effect is less unruly crowds, heck less crowds period. Awesome thing is it'll be on tap for anyone at 2:30, and the Perennial Tasting Room is sweet!

That being said, lol, I'm no longer considering driving from Dallas.

 

Its not on tap. They will have pours from bottles. Can't imagine there will be a lot.

 

My bad, I went and reread that, all the more reason it'd be a tough drive for me.
