Side Project / Shared (2023)

guys, i think the we are all missing the most important point here and that is that here’s to 2023 being the year that CM gets a quarterly release.

 

My abs getting a good workout.

 

Did the odd numbered BBTS tonight.
Even numbers in a couple of weeks with the same group.

for me:
B3 (2019) > Rye b1 (2020) > b5 (2021) > b1 (2017)

fwiw this was a fantastic bottle of 2017. Showing oxidation but all around an tasty stout. Touch of dark fruits. Good amount of barrel still.

 

Glad to hear 2017 is still holding up.

 

I enjoyed my last 17 bottle. Opened in September I think.

 

Has anyone heard an update either way on OWK lasting beyond this weekend? I know an early reply on IG said “through at least this whole week”.

 

Or hopefully three weeks from now

 

Was as the cellar today and the bartender mentioned there hasn't been definitive word on how long OWK will last or be available onsite, but it was their personal hunch that there won't be enough to last to Stout Week.

 

I was there Friday. I was at the Brewery/Taproom which were pouring the same bottles as the Cellar. I was amazed at how uncrowded it was. I was there from open til like 6 pm and it never filled to capacity. I would think it would be available this week but who knows? They did have a hand written sign regarding MJK and it was still on but implying it wouldn’t be for much longer. For me, MJK and BBT22 stole the show.

 

Cracked some beers this weekend. Flim Flam was awesome. Really good barleywine. Surprised it doesn’t get more hype. Also Peche du Ferm b2 is still holding up amazingly well. It was stupid how good it was.

 

Considering the brewery itself wants to differentiate every single batch of beer they do, seems reasonable to expect they do the same with describing the barrels they use.

Would you argue that OWK and BBT are the same beer because they had the same base recipe?

FWIW, looks like they changed the description on the BBT page and it doesn't say Pappy.

 

St. Louis is covered in ice; roads are terrible.

Seems fitting for BA Coco Vibes b2 release considering the condition from b1 release

 

unfortunately at this point i think it’s going to take the exact opposite - hell freezing over - for a second batch of BA CV..

 

Are you sure about that?

 

no, i have no idea. just crazy they haven’t done another batch yet.

 

Heisenking with the inside scoop?

 

BA Coco Vibes b2 would be the cherry on top of the icing covered in sprinkles dusted w/ sugar. I will hate all of you StL locals if the opportunity to cuvee OWK, MJK, BBT, & BA Coco Vibes together arises

 

Anyone who cuvees all of those should be immediately escorted off premises. This is Side Project, not Angry Chair..

 

The cuvée shall be called “For F***’s Sake”
