Side Project / Shared (2019)

Awesome

 

Any Velvet still left?

I know there was “some” at open. May try and coerce my buddy to run up and nab some for me for some NE hops.

 

Just in case anyone is coming in next weekend:
The Side Project Cellar will be Closed Fri, May 31st through Tues, June 4th. Our Brewery Tasting Room (7458 Manchester Rd) will be Open regular hours Sat, June 1st and Sun, June 2nd from 12 to 7pm.

 

I can't wait for D12- Purple Pillz( Blueberry Imperial Pilsner)

 

"thoughtful amount"

 

So I'm guessing this will be total chaos? As luck has it, I will be taking a road trip across the mid-west, with St. Louis being my first city and my flight landing at 10:00 am on Saturday. Having never attended a Side Project release but as someone who understands they produce the most sought after stouts on the planet, will I be ok if I go directly to the brewery after my flight lands?

 

Someone vial me

 

I am curious to know what an on-site consumption for two days only "release" is like. Especially when it's a 750ml bottle that can and will be shared.

Also, have they done it this way before, and if they have, did they silently put the bottle back on the cellar list later in the year?

 

Its onsite only, so if you go after you land, you should be fine getting a bottle to drink on premise on Saturday. If you are arriving closer to 1 than Noon, id go to the cellar as the line should be smaller there since most will go to brewery first since it opens an hour earlier.

 

Thank you! I'll say my prayers and cross my fingers.

 

I think they've pretty much done on-site only since D5. The initial releases didn't last very long, but as time has gone on and batches gotten bigger(I'm assuming the batches are bigger of course), the length of availability has also increased.

 

Yeah, but it's on-site only, but also only for two days. That seems radically different, no? I mean at least D10 has stuck around for a good long while anyway...

 

The social media announcement does use some confusing language, but I’d be a bit surprised if it’s only available this weekend. I feel like they’re attempting to facilitate visitors for Saturday and Sunday but that future bottles will be available for on-site consumption. I’m guessing. Someone like @Heisenbrew would know better.

I don’t recall how long other Derivations have stuck around. D10 was really, really good. Nuance and finesse.

 

D10 has been on site for like 8 months now. D9 was on site that weekend only, with sporadic appearances here and there. Same for D8. D7 was around for a few weeks, while Apple Brandy was around for months.

I would wager that D11 is going to be more like D8 & 9, but there's no telling.

 

Hoping a silent release of BVM to go with D11

 

D11 is a release only to go got members.... Correct?

 

Correct

 

Thanks
