Side Project / Shared (2022)

You’re fine. It was still at shared at 9pm. Unless intentionally pulled.

 

some birthday beers from last night. it’s cool to have the same birthday as the cellar, however, it almost always means i can’t make it down to celebrate there.

 

Happy birthday Zach! Cheers.

 

thanks, Matt! cheers!

 

Looks like Half Acre has RBBT on tap during Benthic pickups today!? Based on their Instagram story.

 

yes, someone in the HA forum announced/confirmed this.

 

For $5/3oz nonetheless.

 

nice price / weak pour

 

Made it last through the first hour of being open today though. Nice surprise guest tap.

 

for sure. guess it’s a lot more people in Chicago so nice way to help it get around to more people.

 

It’s not that busy at the Cellar. Got here at 1 and grabbed a 7 Candles with no wait.

 

Quoted 3 oz pour, got 5 oz pours. It was a treat!

 

Hbd man! If I was you I’d pull the “it’s my bday card” and head to sp

 

i wish!!

 

There’s a new release of Fuzzy available to-go today.

375 mL / $20.

 

My buddy that’s their just grabbed me one along with the anabasis package. I’d been trying awhile to get Anabasis and his timing with this Fuzzy release just worked out perfect.

 

Good to see that inflation has not affected the fruited wild 375's.

 

that’s a weird way to spell hype.

 

There are no bad days to be at Side Project, but having a DBD, another couple Derivations, some BBT and a bunch of Candles make Cellar Anniversary special.

 

What other derivations were there besides 16?

 

Cory seems to have opened a lot of bottles like MJK, OWK, DBD, BA coco vibes, etc.

 

Which batch of BA Coco Vibes?

 

the one that should’ve been consumed 2.5 years ago

 

that bottle held up much much better than the draft pour I had from the brewery anniversary.

coconut fallen off for sure but the barrel seemed prevalent as ever.

 

Fanatic weekend at the Cellar. Everything was perfect besides the weather.

 

New Fuzzy is pretty tart

that is too bad. last blend was more funky than sour. really enjoyed it.

 

Cellar was a delight yesterday; busy but not crazy. No issues getting drafts. - For Gabe was banging.

 

It's draft and not bottle, but since it has been discussed here I am curious your take: Stout or BW heavy?

 

Terminus Rye. Pretty fantastic beer. Thanks for the trade Zach! Glad I didn't trade it back to you for a second BBT

 

I fell in BW category

 

Bubble is back on the web shop.

 

This batch is absolutely fire. Wish I would have bought a case instead of a couple 4 packs

 

Had keg pours of La Fosse b1 and For Gabe and they are nothing like the bottle version.

Had La Fosse b1 week before the keg and it was one of the best beers I’ve had all year. It wasn’t even as much of a flavor as much as a mood; reminded me of my childhood going to my grandmas house having apricots. However, the keg was sour and nothing like the bottle I opened. The keg flavors weren’t balanced and I couldn’t finish my glass.

For Gabe is one of my favorite SP beers. Had a bottle in March and it was still banging. This keg onsite has a fair amount of oxidation and was just not there for me.

There’s clearly something to bottle aging vs keg. It seems the bottles age better then the kegs. I’ll still take a draft vintage pour anytime it’s available, but putting some more thought into my cellar picks.

Oh yeah, DB Mizunara was amazing.

 

***New package alert*** That picture (not an actual beer) packaged with 12 Quince, details to follow.

 

So van winkle is in bbt22 already yea? Is that a special edition of bbt?
Hopes its bottled!

 

that’s what i’m wondering… if this is a version aged exclusively in VW barrels or just a poorly worded post.
