The Art Behind Side Project Stout
Cory King founded Side Project Brewing in 2014 with an unwavering commitment to barrel-aged excellence.

Every Side Project stout showcases rich layers of chocolate, roasted coffee, dark fruits, and the distinctive vanilla and oak characteristics imparted by premium American cooperage.
