Side Project / Shared (2022)

I remember we did it up at the ‘19 Brewery anniversary. I believe that was you. @FightingIrish70 and I will have a canopy set up early Saturday with some good bottles. Come say hey if you’ll be there.

 

‘twas me! i wish i could be there this weekend but i can’t! really just want to try that Double Bourbon Gen more than anything. have a great weekend!

 

The Double Bourbon Generational hype is completely justified. Goddamn.

I also regret everything negative I said about 375s. This goes down too damn easy.

 

Which is why it should be in a 750 mL!

 

For all of us that won't be there today or this weekend.

 

My experience with DB Gen…"Pros: 375 ml. Easy bottle to take down…and wouldn’t leave me leg less. Cons: 375 ml. I wanted so much more. A hard glass to put down after each sip.”

Great for a solo, but also want more. So 750s should always be the answer. Perfect for a long solo.

 

Yeah, I should rephrase--on-site 375s are perfect. To-gos should be 750s.

Maybe 20 people at the Cellar. DBBG is fantastic.

 

by the amount of trades on FB ending with *IP at SP Saturday* this is looking to be pretty crazy event

 

Some guy came into the Cellar with his wife and kid and was enthusiastically asking his wife if she wanted to try “the new stout”. “Which one?”, she asks. I turn around to display my bottle as he simultaneously says “the barrel-aged one”, then quietly says to me with a laugh, “I already solo’d one earlier!”. Love it.

 

This guy is living in 2048 while the rest of us slop it up in 2022. Brings wife & kid to Side Project for casual Friday date night under pretense to hang out. Underplays the fact that there is a super limited DB onsite only release. Then probably convinces wife to split a second bottle of DB generational while getting credit for being a good husband and dad. Really brilliant!

Reveal yourself caped crusader!! Teach us the way!!

 

DBBG pretty stellar then? @Affinity @CypressPaul1

 

Yes

 

I think the DB bourbon is as good, if not better than DB cognac. Both are miles ahead of regular Generational. To me both seemed thicker and smoother than regular Generational. Even thicker than BBT if you ask me. The barrel for DB bourbon was really dialed in, started a bit boozy, but really integrated well as it warmed. This kind of BA stout represents the pinnacle of the craft. I would put DB bourbon generational up there with DB congac and DB derivation stagg jr as my favorite non-adjunct stouts in the past year or two. Maybe my favorite since BBT 2019.

Now let's get some BIL....

 

I’ve pulled that one on my wife before. Oh look russian river is releasing some beer called T25 tonight…

yea I’ll take a pizza and um 2 full allotments please



*hides the check*

 

Also looks like a parfait is coming

 

I’m relieved to see that BBT3 is *only* $80.

 

damn, CdC b1 on draft at the brewery.

 

Trying to get people to want CDC9

 

By far the best weather ever for a release

 

Yeah it’s straight monsooning in Kirkwood at the moment. Maybe not the best choice to go to Nathaniel Reid for pastries

 

Friendly reminder that Taste of Maplewood has some roads closed, including Sutton by the cellar. Parking is going to be interesting.

 

Weather was nicer for BA Coco

 

It actually was since it was done hours before the actual release

 

I’ll take broken ankles over soggy underwear

 

I always figured attendees just wore diapers to these releases.

 

It’s all about the condom catheter

 

I just noticed they never mention a time on the release. How’s it going guys? Any pics of the bottle share?

Edit: wow I saw a video online, hope you guys brought your inflatable canoe

 

thought they said 1pm

 

I want cdc9… Just sayin

 

2pp

 

I also want CDC9 but at $40 I don't want it again when the next stout package gets dropped. It's a serious first world problem

 

It truly is… I thought that when I ended up getting two bottles of cdc8 but then I absolutely loved it so the beer Gods were just taking care of me.

 

To-Go bottles of BA Ambiente are Sold Out.

 

No looping this time either. Sold out in about an hour on the nose. Glad I didn’t wait on going up like I’d thought about.

 

Damn it. Was hoping to load up on a few but still 2pp that’s not likely

 

don’t have a pour photo but wow this is great - bought 2 during the release, pretty happy another is coming my way from the DB generational package

also it’s like 95 degrees here - the refreshment I need! Cheers all

 

Agreed. Had mine Thursday to close out my DB Gen package bottles.

 

when the IP BA stout release doesn’t go to La Coterie
