Side Project / Shared (2021)

Was I the only one who didn’t even see the Anabasis package up on the site until approx 9:31 am CST?

 

I got tripped up badly also...I had added gratuity ahead of time to make sure i was through the age gate, logged in, had a shoppay code pre-entered.

Still made me click "i'm not a robot", then had to click on all the sidewalks, then it wouldn't pre-fill my ccd info, which if i go click on some cans right now is perfectly pre-loaded...and then of course it was WAY too late.

not terribly sad i have a lot of local member friends so i'm sure i'll get to drink it.

But, does anyone know why there is such a difference btwn the shopify experience in the store now and the experience when a new product is dropped? What do i need to do to click through more smoothly??

 

Wife had issues with ShopPay also and didn’t get thru. I just skipped it and did the auto fill from my iPhone and it worked quickly.

So pumped for this beer to be back in my possession. I drank thru B4 too quickly and was craving one all winter.

 

I like the contrast between “the new site sucks” and “the new site is great”

 

It definitely wasn't up as soon as my clock turned from 9:29 to 9:30.

 

Noticed something strange - my wife and I checked out using different computers/accounts but the same credit card. Both the orders somehow got assigned to my account which I'm assuming is b/c of ShopPay (she used ShopPay and I entered CC manually b/c ShopPay didn't work). Anyone else have this issue? I just emailed SP so hopefully they won't flag as a duplicate order but suppose I'll need to figure out this kink.

 

I somehow got lucky but the site definitely glitched. On one device it made me re-enter my birthday even though I was in the site all morning and then it wouldn't accept my birthday/it froze up while my other device made me re-enter in my user ID and password even though I was already in the sites all morning

 

Yeah, IG came up, I freaked out, f5'd like a mad man, and then it came up a minute after.

 

Grats to all who got bottles.

 

FWIW, I haven't seen any releases for any sites dropping right as my computer clock strikes the minute. It's usually about 20 to 40 seconds later. Not sure what clock these releases use, but it's the same one as Microsoft. This is the pattern I've seen for other releases I've followed the past year (beer among other things).

I’m done with ShopPay for hype releases after today. I’ll just use auto fill with Chrome.

 

Oude Fermier and Satsuma removed from LC shop

 

the OF being in the shop has to be a mistake / glitch

 

I dont disagree. I was hoping not though

 

First rule of fight club...

 

OH yes!

 

I really enjoy the descriptions and effort Cory and the team put into describing the new bottles being released - here is the latest from this afternoon on those bottles removed from the shop earlier today for those interested:

Oude Fermier Vintage 2019
Oude Fermier is the best of our best. When barrels selected for Saison du Fermier show concise traits and a rich life, we earmark these oak vessels for extended aging. We strive to produce an exceptionally limited Saison with deep layers of complexity and soft, rounded oak nuances to either be released as Oude Fermier or blended into Tête de Cuvée. Oude Fermier Vintage 2019 was aged in Sauvignon Blanc barrels and is vintage dated as the youngest thread of this blend.

When I began contemplating the next blend of what could become "Oude Fermier" more than a year ago, I had a different approach than years past. For the first time, I was hoping this release of "Oude Fermier" could be a smaller, more exclusive blend that could be elevated to another level with a touch of blending. I set out to source some special barrels and actually brewed this "slightly" tweaked Saison du Fermier recipe three times prior to finalizing what nuances we were striving for, before filling Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc barrels from Sebastopol California. For those of you who have talked wine with Karen, you will know that this is one of her favorite wines ever! After a couple of phone calls and meeting the cellar manager, I sourced these beautiful barrels directly from them and for the first time, put Saison du Fermier in French Oak Sauvignon Blanc Barrels. More than a year later - Oude Fermier was blended for you...

Satsuma
In the La Coterie book from last year, I mentioned wanting to focus on more experimental brewing and blending. The result has been the CDC line and now some small, delicately fruited expressions, the first being Satsuma.

For this Saison, the intention was rooted in delicacy, with our first "dried fried" usage. We sourced these dried Satsumas from a small importer who also assisted in our banana nibs for Brooklyn Vibes and some Yuzu juice for another soft Saison. The result is a beer fitting of the Side Project name and one which we hope to brew again soon. Over ripened citrus, with a very soft palate, round tartness and vibrant aromatics create a very delicate experience.

 

never been so happy to be proven wrong!
