Bissell Brothers (2018)

Just opened a can of 12/30 Reciprocal and I think it's drinking better than ever. That raw galaxy bite has backed off and it's a really smooth thick juice bomb.

 

I'm going to the swish release wed, and than I will swing by Foundation for some Epiphany cans. Any body been to foul mouthed brewing? There doing some very interesting Belgian beers.

 

Yeah, their space is great. Awesome food, beers were ok, nothing crazy, but easy drinking.

 

There are Galaxy hops in Reciprocal?

 

As per Bissell website:

AN ALL AUSTRALIAN DOUBLE DRY HOPPED DOUBLE IPA
HOPS: ELLA, SUMMER, VIC SECRET
MALTS: 2-ROW PILSNER, MALTED WHEAT, FLAKED OATS, CARASTAN
ABV: 7.3% OG: 1.067

No Galaxy listed there.

 

Heading up tomorrow night for a Reggae show. We may or may not make it to Bissell. In any event was curious what peoples favorite bars were to grab a few before the show at the Port City Music Hall. I know Nosh is right there and has a good draft list and Novare/Pig are a short walk. Anything else right there without much of a walk we should check out?

 

Pai Men Miyake is great if you like ramen. It's nearby and they usually have several good beers on tap along with vintage Oxbow bottles.

 

Guess not. Granted I can't pin Ella, Summer or Vic Secret well enough on their own so maybe they taste like Galaxy?

 

I'm looking to go up to the Saturday Swish/Substance release on 2/3. I've only been to BB once. Considering EBF is going on in Boston, its a Saturday, and the Pats are in the Superbowl on Sunday. Any idea what time is a safe time to get there?

Also do they open up the retail area earlier then 12 if and when they sell out of cans?

 

I went yesterday and they sold out of swish at noon and this was a wed. I got their at 11. Substance was erased from the board, but I find it hard to believe substance sold out it an hour. I would get their before 10 if I was you, despite EBF etc.

 

Has Bissell announced when IvI will be available again?

 

Believe it. BB always splits their weekly batch of Substance up so that they can release a small amount every day. Therefore there is always less Substance to start each day than the other releases, although there is always some.

 

Looks like Feb 22 per their schedule. They'll most likely have it on tap - at least for the next few weeks, I'd imagine.

 

Thank you!

 

I think you mean 2/4 not 2/3. Doors open at ten for can sales only on Swish releases. Saturday's can be pretty long lines. I would personally scope out the line at 9, if it's all the way down the sidewalk you either wait in line a couple hours for cans or try it on draft later. They will open for regular business upon selling out of cans, which usually does happen before noon on Saturdays if the weather's decent. Getting there at ten can be risky if you really want cans and there's probably no way you'll get substance in cans. Alternatively traders with PA and NY cans do pretty well, sometimes getting more than what the sales allotment is.

 

How fast does Swish sell out on their Wednesday releases? I know it's cans only from 10-12. Would getting there at 11 mean I was SOL?

 

Last week it lasted until a bit after noon I believe. May vary though (weather, events like Superbowl, etc.).

 

How is IvI? My bday is Feb 22, was gonna take the day off and go up to Portland the night before

 

Thanks

 

It's good but I prefer subby. Very similar to me.
