Tally's Take
Why this matters
A globally renowned, 100% barrel-aged brewery whose imperial stouts and wild ales fetch astronomical prices on the secondary market.
The People
Behind the beer
Brewed on the side while working elsewhere — hence the name.

Beers
Saison du Fermier
LimitedSaison
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.

LimitedBarrel-Aged Barleywine
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.

LimitedWild Ale
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.
Drank this? Add it to your passport →Framboise du Fermier
LimitedWild Ale
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.
Drank this? Add it to your passport →Abricot du Fermier
LimitedWild Ale
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.

LimitedSaison
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.
