Vitamin Sea (2019)

And there it is... Exhibit A.... Do we need any more evidence.... nope

 

Back to the topic of the product...these guys are crushing it for a new brewery. I am really enjoying, ‘Greetings from Weymouth’. Will be interesting to see if they break the string of ipa releases soon.

 

Please God I hope they do - I don't give a care about hops but I need Seven Bells cans back in my life

 

New guy here but had to chime in.....

After a long awaited opening I think everyone's expectations (including myself) are far too high. Some have lived up to expectations but others don't. Considering I live a mile away I've stopped by for the majority of the days they've been open. I usually have the fridge stocked with Mystic, Trillium, Stellwagon, Proclamation, Other half, devils purse and after a while Vitamin Sea really outdoes the rest. I recently had some Treehouse and in my opinion Vitamin Sea is right up there, if not better. My only complaint is that I wish the flavor would shine through more. Can line was terrible was first month after opening but now under control (except the 33 release last weekend, which wasn't great). My tip if showing up around opening is to have a few pours and pick up the cans after the line has died down. Good place, chill vibes and friendly staff. As mentioned on this thread though they need more POS to keep it moving.

Hope they start cranking up production soon and have more than one option for cans or increased limit.

Top five can releases so far:
1) Due North
2) Alone and Adrift
3) Announcement Day
4) Double Summer
5) Greetings from Weymouth / Sea for Yourself

**Not a stout guy but Beachfire Stories was awesome too. PB all day and usually on for pours.

Pours that I hope are in cans soon:
1) T-shirt shop - need it asap
2) Kaleidoscope / Skittle Sour (Henry and Fran collab) - doubt it ever happens but that beer was unreal
3) Dank is the new juicy
4) Kettle Charge
5) More DIPAs!

 

I was gifted a can of Alone and Adrift and it was the first Wow beer I’ve had in some time! Definitely going to have to make my way to Weymouth some Saturday.

 

Went for first time Saturday...'Beachfire Stories' and 'Seven Bell's and All's Well' are absolutely amazing. With the 4.9% ABV, Seven Bell's has to be one of the more impressive beers I have ever had.

 

These guys are killing it right now. Happy to see their early success, especially after the way some people were talking about them on here before they opened their doors. Well deserved.

 

If anybody can pm just out of curiosity if 't shirt' is 6% or 6.8%. Their website and list has it at 6% but the can has it at 6.8%. Thanks!

 

Aside from the lack of flavor, this brewery is killing it.

 

As good as, and probably better than TH. Also, not much flavor. 4.75/5.

 

Considering a trip this weekend... If I want to try a couple things on draft and pick up cans (assuming an announcement tomorrow), while getting out of there by 1:30pm, do I need to arrive before open? Can I stroll in at 1pm and still achieve my goal?

 

The lines would be at the core of my question. How long does the line at open usually take to dissipate? Or is it pretty consistent until cans are gone?

 

half an hour definitely isn't enough to "enjoy" multiple drinks anywhere if you ask me, not only inadvisable for driving but man am I bloated if I slam two or more beers in under 30 mins but I'm sure there's folks that can do it no problem.

30 mins is likely just enough to get through the pour line and the can line, but won't leave you much time to sip even one drink. Pour lines can be slow even when they're not long, took close to 15 mins with 5 people in front of me 2 weeks ago, but I've also seen them move faster than that. Can line was around 20 mins or so around 1:30

 

Thanks for the responses! I'm going to attempt to arrive earlier than 1pm, but if I'm limited to a single pour, plus cans, I'd honestly be happy with that too.

Can you grab a pour and enjoy it in the can line, like Trillium Canton?

 

Yes

 

How long do cans last and how are the lines late in the day?

 

Based on their Twitter updates, it looks like cans last well into the afternoon. Some posts over the last 3 weekends indicate sellout after 5pm.

 

I was in / out in 10 minutes around 12:30 on Saturday. About 8 people deep for cans, about 20 people deep for drafts. Parking is the hassle with this spot.
