You know them. You might secretly (or not so secretly) love them even as they get stuck on repeat in your head. They’re songs that explode onto the scene only to fade off into the sunset just as quickly. They immediately bring forth memories of where you were in your life when they were released. One Hit Wonders. Streetside is using these as an inspiration for their latest series, of draft-only… or crowler-only releases. It’s a neat concept that we need to explore a little bit.
About The Series
When Streetside first got its crowler machine installed and running, they looked to it as a fun way to do some packaging that is a little unique. Obviously the crowlers were (and are) a great way to take your beer to go, but they’re also started using it as a way to kick off a series of extremely small-batch releases too.
The series leans very heavily towards heavily fruited Berliner Weisses and Goses, an area of brewing that seems to definitely be right in the wheelhouse of Streetside. They know what they’re doing here, folks.
To make the entire series even more crazy and fun, and to play upon the one-hit-wonder idea a little bit heavier – you may not even know when these guys are going to pop up. You might get a social media announcement, you might not. Sometimes they just spring up out of nowhere to be enjoyed for the brief minute that they’re around.
No matter how or when they are released, you have to act quickly. Get to the taproom and get a number to make sure that you’re “in line” for a beer… you won’t wanna miss out!
