Side Project / Shared (2022)

Plus, fake mustaches and outfit changes.

 

True, can't rule out people pulling a Bobby Valentine.

 

I bet those are good paydays for them.

 

I want to know what happened to Fermier day?! It was low-key one of the best days of the year. Last one I remember was 2019.

 

I wasn't thinking about SP at all today. Very busy work day. Finished a long meeting. Checked my phone for the first time in a while, the IG notification popped up while I was doing that, saw the bottle in the preview of the notification. Knew I was screwed as I didn't have it pulled up, wasn't logged in, nor did I have my Shop Pay code front loaded. I was shocked when I was able to do all those things, enter the Shop Pay code, make sure it didn't default to shipping on me (that happened for me on Forever Darkness for my first time ever) and still get through. Finally broke through after a long drought on the fast finger release. Huzzah.

 

I got burned on the default to shipping thing today - so frustrating - but that part is on me - I knew that from prior releases - IDIOTA!

 

New beer offered to LC today - Quince

As with Satsuma and Yuzu, we used a very delicate base to allow this extremely aromatic fruit to shine. Quince started as a Lagerbier, similar to the base of Sunsets, which we then finished in oak with our Side Project mixed culture. Once mature, we allowed it to re-ferment on Illinois-grown Quince (sourced by LC member Will Bresnahan!) from the 2020 and 2021 harvests. This beer started life in 2020 and then became a blend of both harvests providing the depth and complexity only found with time from the older thread and then the explosive green apple jolly rancher and vibrant aromatics from the youthful fruit expression of the younger thread.

 

Lots of IG story posts (or is it pages? chapters?) about furniture that keep referencing a new space. Anyone know what that's about? Did they expand the brewery seating area?

 

I believe it’s for the new space across the street from the brewery. The one the are sharing with Pizza Champ

 

That on-site BA Coco Vibes

 

And ba ambiente, damn on Mother’s Day of all times lol

excited to hear how bottles are doing. I had it a few months ago and it was oxidized, tho no idea if that’s an off bottle or not

 

have to imagine that BA CV is on its last leg.

 

Yup. No way I’m going to pay (likely) $100+ for a 3.25 year old coconut stout

 

Yeah, this does not move the needle for me. For me to abandon my wife on Mother's day it would have to be an IP release or something. I'm only playing the bad husband card for something crazy..

 

saw they had 2020 CSV on-site this weekend too. it’s expired stout weekend at SP!

 

I’m gonna need them to keep the single farm series in the store year round. Holy shit this is crushable.

 

How much was the coconut vibes? And if you had one how was it?

 

had SF Motueka today. amazing. hope this series continues with great frequency.

 

And they stay $20

 

IP stout release 5/21
