Side Project Derivation #1 and #2

UPDATE:  Purchases through Wednesday June 10 at 7pm will count towards Derivation release.  That is the cutoff date.

Friday will be the release date!

This way everyone can relax and not worry about it anymore.

Remember all reservations must be picked up and paid for to count towards your BRC

The bottle price will be $35 per bottle.

Don't forget, those that supported on Beer Fest Day, I will be adding your double points into the totals when I do the final report.   Double points will go for this release and the next Side Project Release

As you know, we are going to release the Side Project Brewing Derivation #1 through our BRC soon.  

But surprise, Cory and Karen have been super generous and are giving us a 24 bottle allocation of Derivation #2 !!!  

So the top 22 on the BRC list will get a bottle of both #1 and #2

I will save 2 bottles of Derivation #2 for something special.  Not sure what that is yet, but will probably share at a tasting or something.  Will announce that when we decide.

See the details on #1 below, #2 is a two barrel blend with vanilla added!

This will be the next Side Project Brewing collaboration with The Wine and Cheese Place release.

It is a four barrel blend that will be sold partly at The Wine and Cheese Place BRC program  and partly through Side Project Brewing (follow them on twitter to find out how). Bottle numbers not confirmed yet. The beer is bottled and waiting for label approval now. Just waiting on red tape now.
