    That seems like a good bet to me.

    I can't really tell about the bottle in the foreground, but the one in the background looks another foil-top which would be analogous to the Wood-finished series from last year.

    For comparison's sake, Beeslo's tease from yesterday vs. his post for Stout Week last year:

    In case I missed it, does anyone know if tonight's library tasting is 50 people or 100 people?

    My guess is it’s just 50 tonight. I could be wrong – but the only tasting that I can remember being 100 people (and also not on a Tuesday night) was the one that was tied to the brewery birthday weekend this past September.

    Just landed St.Louis, first time being here and also will be my first visit and first time drink SP.

    Glad to see folks who will attend Library tasting tonight.

    Hopefully I can bring some malty bottles back home.

    I don't love this trend of only having packaged options between this, DM and DB Anabasis

    Yup. Nail in the coffin for my LC experience. It was a fun 5 years but time to close this chapter if we just get packages now.

    I've stopped drinking non ba stouts so this has been a big disappointment.

    I guess we’ll see if this package thing is permanent.

    Getting more malty beers from SP back when they only made BA beer meant a lot more than now.

    LC 2025.2
    Single Thread 2025
    LC 2025.3 (final included LC beer, 10/7/2025)

    I may have posted this in the 2025 thread, but anyone notice that Side Project labels now have exact bottling dates on them? I can’t remember which bottle this started with but guessing in May of 2025. Bubble Wrap was released in April and does not have a date. With Tarpey was released in June and it has the exact date. Not that important but k thought it was interesting. Nice to know a date of something you’re sitting on. In the past it was always kind of a guess unless Cory specifically mentioned it in an email or there were social media posts on a specific bottling day. Anyways, carry on.
