Jolly Pumpkin Bam Bière
Bam Bière is a sneak attack. It pours lighter than you'd expect and drinks like a conversation starter—crisp, slightly tangy, with this subtle farmhouse funk that doesn't overwhelm. The 4.5% ABV means you're not fighting alcohol; instead you taste restraint and precision. By the third sip you notice the dry finish, which makes you reach for another.
Saison du Fermier
Saison du Fermier is the opposite of a wallflower. It's got heft and presence—6.5% ABV sits in your chest a little longer. There's a peppery yeast character that feels alive, a wilder fermentation signature. Side Project doesn't sand down the edges; instead they lean into rusticity. This one demands your attention.
