    Looked through the Midwest forums and couldn't find a thread dedicated to the best saison/wild producer in the region.
    I was looking for some info from someone who was at this past weekend's release of the collab with Off Color, La Bière De Fantaisie. Anyone got a rough idea of how many bottles were sold, limit, price point and how many folks were there?

    I would also like to keep this thread going for any future releases as a way to gauge what an appropriate offer would be in a trade as I only get to make it to one or two releases there per year.

    Cheers

    Bottles were $20 and the limit was technically four per person, but you could go through the line multiple times if you were so inclined. I'd say there was around 200 people there by noon. The weather certainly kept some away. No idea how much was produced.

    @Jarpo One other question. Were they 750ml bottles?

    Does Side Project do Credit/Debit only, cash only or both on the bottle releases at Perinnial?

    The SP releases are awesome. It's a welcoming, very pleasant crowd. There's usually a nice bottle share. Despite being extremely busy, the brewery employees remain friendly, accommodating & helpful throughout the release.
