Founded in 2013 by Cory King in St. Louis, Side Project Brewing has been twice ranked #2 brewery in the world by RateBeer. Beer : Barrel : Time — known as BBT — is their signature barrel-aged Imperial Stout, aged in hand-selected bourbon barrels with a near-winemaker’s rigour. Intense notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel and oak. A masterpiece of brewing that collects like a great vintage. Wines & Spirits SA offers the largest selection of Side Project available in Europe, with over 100 references in stock.

Available at Wines & Spirits SA with worldwide delivery.

Founded in 1988 in Chicago, Goose Island created in 1992 the world’s first commercially released bourbon barrel-aged stout — the Bourbon County Brand Stout.

The Rare series — exceptional single-barrel selections — commands prices of several hundred francs and sells out within minutes.

Gabe Fletcher founded Anchorage Brewing Company in 2010 after 13 years as head brewer at Midnight Sun. His approach is unique: every beer is fermented and aged in oak with Brettanomyces, creating aromatic profiles of wild and animal complexity. A Deal With the Devil is their signature — an Imperial Stout triple-aged in Henry McKenna bourbon barrels, with notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, leather and incomparable brett complexity. A beer for the demanding enthusiast.

Hill Farmstead Brewery, founded in 2010 by Shaun Hill on his family’s ancestral land in Vermont, was voted the best brewery in the world by RateBeer for 9 consecutive years.

Every beer bears the name of a family member, rooting the craft in 220 years of family history. Visiting Hill Farmstead is a pilgrimage; buying their beers from us, a privilege.
