Great Lakes brewing up a special batch of Project X July 5th, 2007
Just a quick note to let you know Great Lakes has got a new beer on the way. It's a one-off batch of 1,000 litres, so about a dozen or so kegs that we're hoping to send to some of the usual suspects downtown. Hopefully it'll do its thing over the weekend and we'll have it ready to go by late next week.
We're tossing around the idea of keeping it in its natural state (no filtration) but we'll see how she goes. We threw a boatload of hops into the secondary so we're hoping it comes out nice and hoppy…mmm. You can see its home (the fermenter) for the next week or so (click for a larger view). Tentative name is Project X…more info to come!

This sounds like a good idea but why don’t you bottle it in growlers as well or 500ml bottles and make it more accessible?
Also what was the motivation behind this?

I can see that Great Lakes is being as organized and responsive as usual.

Sorry about the delay, we’ve been absorbed in recent beer festivals. We’re hoping to have it ready this week - we might do a few cans, now that we’ve got our canning machine up and running, but nothing for sure on that front. I do hear you about making it more accessible than just draught, but there are pricing issues that need to be addressed once you put it in a can or bottle. As for motivation, it was just something fun to do and an effort to make something quite hoppy and bitter for the adventurous beer drinkers out there. I’ll post further details once we’re ready to launch it.
