    Yes

    Depends how much rolled over. My general advice is, if you can, get there at or near open and you'll guarantee yourself cans. Given that it's a Thursday you would probably be fine showing up at 3pm, but again I wouldn't travel that far just to get shut out because it sold out.

    Yeah the spaces are the same, you just have to pay $2/hour now. Seems to be hit or miss as to whether there's someone there monitoring the lot, but I've seen the meter maid a few times.

    Does anyone know if there's a TV in the taproom? Going to be in town on Saturday with a group and trying to see if we can watch the Celtics game there.

    I don't think they have tv(s). However, I could be wrong, but I recall that they've done a projector screen for some Bruins games, other sporting events, etc., in the past. Not sure if they still do it or not, but worth reaching out to them to be sure before your visit.

    I'd imagine they'll be projecting it and if not Kings Head, High Roller, or Liquid Riot would be decent back up options for viewing.

    They were projecting the game on Saturday and I imagine will be for all of them.

    Thanks for the help. I'll try and get there as early as I can. It would just be more convenient for me schedule wise to show up a little later. This is also my 1st midweek visit, so it'll be nice to not be there waiting in a line that is anywhere from 75-300+ deep before open.

    Better than Swish? That's mighty high praise... ISO: Nothing Gold.

    I probably have that line more as "=" than ">" (also I'd add Here's to Feeling Good all the Time), but either way that is why I don't often have Swish. It seems to be over-hyped vs. the rest of their lineup which is about as good. Unless I'm already in town and can deal with some wait it isn't worth it to me.

    How long have the last two Sigil's lasted? I'm coming up next Saturday and hoping to get a shot at some cans...

    The Sigil blends usually go relatively quick as the blended batches typically yield less than would a standard beer that we brew. This one should be a very good blend too... I'm looking forward to packaging it.

    I will second this and say that NG is my favorite IPA from the great state of Maine...it is one of those few beers that I regularly have in the fridge, and even aged one once for a year and it was still great, just a slightly different danky mangoey character. Did the same with a Heady with similar results - not that it's something I do regularly, but just an interesting oberservation I've found with a couple favorites.

    Does anyone know what time Sigil goes on sale on Thursday? I get confused between the 12pm and the one hour early for special releases...

    Sigil is a 12pm drop on Thursday... Would HIGHLY recommend this beer with some of the brisket from Locally Sauced next door.

    Had to say that I am drinking a Swish from 3/13 and it is still out of this world....what a well made beer. While I wish this was made available year round I appreciate it so much more that it is not. Now, back to slowly enjoying my last Swish for 2018!
