Side Project (2018)

Apparently D5 was/is being poured in-line at the Bluet release. Keep your noggins to the ground and maybe you can snag one from the inevitable day-of release, lol. I'm not mad that he does that, the locals deserve the goodies, but dangit! I wanna try some of those stouts, especially D5 (Coffee and Rum from what I understand!)

No Derivation 5. Bluet du Fermier was 1 per person with the chance to go in the line for a second time to try and snag another bottle.

 

Bleuet was 1 bottle limit $35. You could go back through but it was a pretty long line so not sure how many people will actually get 2.

 

No D5 from what I saw. Cory did come out with opened Bleuet's and poured them and then handed them to people to share.

As far as the line went, the word was that they were right on the edge of 1-2 per person, and I know a fair amount of people got 2.

 

I lied. Just saw a picture of D5 bottle in line. My bad.

 

haha, you're all good man! My buddy sent me the photo, that's how I knew. I'm really sad that Bluet seems to be such a low bottle count. I already see it getting pounded out on the trade boards for crazy stuff. Alas, I'll have to try and make it down for a taste sometime.

 

Awesome Release as usual from Cory . Getting to try Bleuet and D5 in line was an added plus. Stumbling into a release is always amazing!!

 

Can't wait to try D5 tomorrow. Will be my first Derivation.

 

Does anyone know if derivation 5 will eventually be available for to go?

 

Very doubtful

 

SP has stated at the Cellar only. Expected to last for several weeks +

 

alright thanks for the update

 

Does side project sell bottles to go ?

 

On rare occasions. It's been 2-3 months since they had anything to go(Saison du Ble??) but it sounds like they might have something in May that will be to go.

The last bottle they had to go was the previous batch of Biere du Pays, I believe. It's a delicious beer.

 

Biere du Pays is one of my favorites. Cory's saisons are extremely underrated and underappreciated imo.

 

I agree. His fruited, wilds, and stouts get all the attention but the more simple beers are the true stars in my opinion

 

Anyone know when the last bottlings of these were?

Smooth
Fuzzy
Fencerow
Thicket
Punchdown

And iyo what would be the easiest couple to trade for. Just had my first Balaton and now I want to try their other American Wild Ales

 

This hasn't been updated the last few releases but I think it contains all of the bottles you listed besides Smooth. Smooth was released 1/9/16 at $20 and I believe a limit of 2 per person but I could be wrong. The easiest to trade for of those you listed will be Punchdown and Smooth because they were released the latest, with Punchdown probably being easier to get than Smooth.

 

They have each been bottled once (not sure on dates) with the exception of Fencerow, but batch 2 was for on site consumption only. I think Fuzzy is in the pipeline though
