Saison du Fermier

Limited

Saison

ABV7.5%
IBU15

Cory King brewed this on the side while working at another brewery, which is where the name came from. It became one of the most traded beers in America.

Anabasis

Limited

Barrel-Aged Barleywine

ABV14.0%

Cory King is known for stouts and wild ales, and Anabasis is the argument that the barleywine work is just as serious. Anabasis means a march upcountry.

Fuzzy

Limited

Wild Ale

ABV8.0%

Fermented in oak with Missouri white peaches. Side Project works only with fruit it can get locally and in season, which is why the range never repeats exactly.

Framboise du Fermier

Limited

Wild Ale

ABV8.0%

The raspberry expression of the Fermier saison line, aged in oak. Fermier means farmer, and the whole series is built on the idea that a saison should taste of somewhere.

Abricot du Fermier

Limited

Wild Ale

ABV8.0%

Apricots in oak-aged farmhouse ale. The Fermier beers are all the same base treated differently, which makes the series a controlled experiment in what fruit does to it.

Oude Fermier

Limited

Saison

ABV7.0%

The oldest and driest of the Fermier line. Named in the Flemish manner for a beer brewed in Missouri, which is Side Project being honest about where its ideas come from.
