Side Project (2018)

Or ... anabasis

 

Cory said it was Oude du Ble b2 in his post

 

You are right... completely spaced on that part of his post

 

Need

 

Upcoming releases?

 

My interpretation is that it is the blend for pulling nails blend 6...but it is definitely open to interpretation. I don't see any carb in the glass so it could be bottle conditioning which could take a month or month(s)

 

wow i'm excited about shared, maybe some of the non ba beers can make out our way. what a great idea! hoping to try vibes and that barleywine!

 

I read that the same way, and would love to try this blend. This is what makes Side Project exciting. Keep it coming, Cory!

 

I missed the release yesterday. What was the limit? Hoping it will be to go this week.

 

Essentially no limit as people were just going back through the line multiple times very easily and thereafter bragging to their friends about how they can't wait to raffle them off.

Thought the scene down here would be better than up in Chicago but apparently that's not the case, sadly. Was wondering how people are able to drop hundreds on these bottles at $25-$30+ with a release basically every other week and definitely confirmed my suspicions with folks sitting on cases at the release yesterday.

Just to be clear, this isn't an indictment on everyone there, this is basically the bottom 1%, and you know who you are. If you want to spend thousands on saisons every few months, more power to you, congrats, you win beer. Also, these folks going through the line multiple times to raffle off the bottles didn't really delay anyone or get in the way, etc as there was a ton available. Just making an observation about this practice and hoping that with more beer being produced going forward, the secondary market of these releases continues to fall, demand is met, and the problem takes care of itself.

Not going to link any sites but the stuff released yesterday already over 100 a bottle out there, confirmed through a simple Google search.

 

Didn't see anybody buying a case of it.

 

Yeah, maybe a 5-6 bottles in a case with Foedre Fermier included

 

@coryking I know you have no way of actually knowing but do you thing the two To-Go options are going to last untill Saturday?

 

SP Jammy is going on site on Saturday. Hope there's a to go release eventually.

 

Hell Yes. I knew I would get lucky on one of my trips to STL eventually.

 

Great to see bottles such as these continue to be on-site only. Keeps the bottles off the secondary market and allows for more folks to enjoy these great releases for a longer period of time.

 

Although as a Casey (and a Side Project) fan in Colorado who's been looking forward to trying it, this beyond sucks. I get it, combating the secondary is a tough game but I'm not buying a plane ticket to STL just to try a beer. Following all of those social media pics from the entire brewing and aging process are now just an enormous tease.

Life's not fair, blah, blah blah, I know, I just wish fans of the collaborating brewery would be able to try it just like the locals fans of Side Project get to.

 

I will preface that I am joking, as I know Cory's stance on selling beer on the secondary market...

You could sell a bottle of Jammy and get a plane ticket.

 

While it is great to see breweries rewarding their locals, not getting any bottles released into the wild means those of us that want to try a bit of everything can't do so.

 

Haha, but then I would no longer be welcome at Casey and I can't have that.

Again, there's no perfect way of making everyone happy. I just wish there was a way that the local Casey fans could try it, especially since the Casey version of Jammy was released to the public. I know I sent a lot of them to regular trading partners in STL.
