TreeSide is a barrel-aged stout thoughtfully constructed by the specialty beer team at Tree House with insight and participation from Cory King of Side Project Brewing in St. Louis, Missouri.
In late August we curated a selection of various stout barrels, aging in and around the two year mark, to be used for a blending session. Upon tasting, Cory focused on barrels that carried rich fudgy and cocoa dust notes, while the Tree House team selected barrels offering roundness and complexity. The resulting blend is a novel expression of barrel threads from the Tree House archives, greatly enhanced by Cory’s touch.
TreeSide is greater than the sum of its parts, thanks to the combined expertise of both breweries.
