Bissell Brothers (2018)

Glad to hear my first trip to the brewery last weekend allowed me to score a prime example of Swish. And yes I agree it’s amazing. One of my new favorite IPAs.

 

Im going to at the brewery on friday nov 2 (never been). Swish is released thurs nov 1. What are the chances there are still cans friday afternoon? If anybody has any info would be much appreciated.

 

Might be a chance. It moved quickly this past weekend but it was the first release this season and was on a Saturday. If it's case limits it might go fast. Follow their Instagram for updates.

 

Does anybody know offhand what the last limits were on Swish? I'm thinking of going up Thursday and was just greedily curious what to expect.

 

Saturday the 20th it was a case.

 

Thanks!

 

Thoughts on DDH subby?

 

Planning a trip Thursday for swish. How fast does it normally sell out?

 

Solid. Nothing earth-shattering. If it gets released again alongside regular Substance I'd save the $2 and pass on the DDH.

 

Hello,
I am heading up the week of November 9th and had a few questions regarding the can releases that weekend.

From their release schedule --> https://www.bissellbrothers.com/cans/

I see that Substance is is being released on Friday the 9th and Swish on Saturday the 10th. Assuming the link above is a typo of Thur 11/9 being actually Friday 11/9

- Do I need to get there at the open in order to make sure I get Substance cans on Friday or can I arrive at any point in the afternoon?

- For the Swish release on 11.10 if I want to get cans during the hour of just can sales how early should I plan to arrive.

Thank you!

 

Kind of curious about that myself. I’ll be in Portland that day. 3-4 years ago I got Swish with minimal difficulty, 2 years ago I aborted mission with the huge line and last year I had to skip Maine trip due to illness. Wondering if the lines have calmed down again.

 

Substance on Friday, you should be fine anytime in the afternoon and I wouldn't be surprised if there were leftovers the next day.

Saturday morning, if it were me, I'd aim to get there about 10:00. I was there yesterday, I got there just after 10:30 and the line was most of the way back to the corner. They opened the doors 15 minutes early.

 

Great, thank you for the info...

 

How much do people think the beer festival at Thompson's Point this weekend will impact lines/supply? I'm assuming substantially, right?

 

With the Winter Session + Veteran's Day Weekend, I would assume this will be a busy one.

Locally Sauced has breakfast sammies going at 10am
Swish cans on sale at 11am (plus Subby, Lux, Lagerbier, maaaaaybe IVI)
VIP Winter Session at 12pm + draft pours and full service here
General Admission at 1pm
Event is over at 5pm, I expect the Taproom will be cranking thereafter...

 

Any guess how long the Swish will last on Saturday and next Tuesday? I am guessing 1ish on Saturday and most of the day Tuesday??

 

It sold out in less than 2 hours last Saturday.

 

Thanks!
