Side Project / Hair of the Dog Collaboration for Alan!

Vintage: 2023

Size: 375ml

Alan Sprints of Hair of the Dog Brewing Company spent 29 years crafting beautiful beers. Beers which were very inspirational for their bold flavors and processes which I was inspired to incorporate into Side Project. His use of oak and extended aging, his use of crazy complex malt bills, and his use of no/very little carbonation in his big malty beers changed the way I looked at beer. He and his brewery paved the way for beers such as ours...After having Alan here for our Invitational, I bugged him into allowing me to use some of his beer for a blended collab, something that I feel fit us both perfectly. As Alan was retiring and Hair of the Dog was going to finish up production, a blend of already mature beer sitting in our breweries would be perfect. The results are For Alan and A Long Time Ago.

These blends of Hair of the Dog and Side Project beers, after years of aging and then another extended age in the bottle (A Long Time Ago - bottled July of 2023, For Alan - bottled December of 2023), I feel encompass the heart of what we were trying to accomplish and the creativity of Alan. I hope you enjoy these beers which we can never create again and honor Alan and Hair of the Dog for their contribution to craft beer for almost 3 decades...
