    Should be a good yield, too, on Reciprocal next week...

    What time are we thinking to line up for the new release this weekend? Super bowl coming up should affect this. Also, Bissell per IG said this beer is similar to the 4th anniversary one-off... Was that the Real Ones collab with Austin Street? Couldn't find much info on this.

    Their 4th anniversary was this year so the beer would similar to Nuclear Whim.

    I would anticipate a decent line, but maybe not too crazy. Nuclear Whim was released on a weekday and i was able to roll in later in the day and get some with no line.

    No chance.

    I thought Preserve & Protect was top tier Bissell. Ended up being much better than Nuclear Whim IMO.

    Going for first Swish release Saturday. Will getting there at 9 pretty much guarantee it, or should i go earlier?

    I'd say that's too early. Maybe a half hour early to be safe since you're coming from MA? But more than likely you will be able to walk in after open and get some with not much of a line. If it were the first Swish release of the season maybe, but I think it's been lasting into the afternoon lately.

    10 is a very reasonable time to arrive and you're >99% guaranteed beer.

    My totally made up scientific method is 10am for freezing (32 degree) temps, and add one minute closer to open for each degree less and one minute earlier for each degree warmer. If it's around -20 just wait until doors open!

    So do any other cans make it to Saturday? Looked like lots of cases of Umbra, LUX, and Engram, but obviously it being Friday I'm not sure many are left...

    Hello everyone, I will be in the area this Saturday and stopping in, looks like Reciprocal will be released. How have Saturdays been lately crowd and line wise? Hoping to grab some pours as well as cans but do not want to get caught up in the opening rush as I will be with others who don’t have the patience. Thanks!

    I assume they do, but can someone confirm they take credit cards for can sales on Saturday.
