Bissell Brothers (2018)

Brand new blend of a series of barrel aged stouts (hence the #1)... 8.5% ABV. Basically all the info displayed in the keg collar above. Cans will have the same killer artwork...

 

Koelschip and foeders at their facility in Milo.


I know where I'll be going when I head north to visit family next year.

 

When you head way, way north*** Surprised to see how far away Milo is. Wonder what the beer tourism will be like for them up there. It works for Hill Farmstead because of their prestige, but this is fairly uncharted territory for Bissell. Hoping for the best!

 

"If you build it, they will come" -- It's only about 30 min north of where I grew up so I'll certainly visit when I'm in the area. Square:1 and Sigil:1 have been tasty so I have high hopes as well - If nothing else it will help satiate the Bangor market with Bissell.

 

Speaking of Sigil:1 -- the can art is fire...

 

@mike_v_sardina you have a rough case count on sigil 1? not trying to get there at open if I don't have to..

 

We're looking at right around 100 cases of Sigil1 today, plus rollover on IvI and today's Subby cans... No one is here, yet...

 

lol! alright, i'll have to come a bit early then, sure it'll sell quick.
Thanks man!

 

Visiting Portland this Sunday and will be stopping by for at least some pours. Are any cans normally still available on Sunday? Just don’t know what to expect for my first visit. Thanks!

 

Hey there! Usually no cans are available on Sunday, but sometimes we roll cans over... Keep an eye on our social and we always post if there is rollover into Sunday.

Could be possible with Recip this weekend, based on yield tomorrow. Enjoy Portland!

 

I wouldn't worry about lines as nothing epic will be on. The line will form before opening for cans. But as long as you arrive around that time you should get some, BUT I would factor in that there will be holiday crowds. You'll definitely be able to get pours. I just threw up a similar post about any events around T-Point for the holiday weekend that would kill parking and make things a mess.


4th of July is the biggest holiday for us up here on the Seacoast. Portsmouth where we live becomes a nightmare. So I stay at the beach

 

Swung by yesterday for the first time. Nice spot there. I do like a brewery with a proper tap room I can sit and enjoy a few beers and have a bite to eat

 

We also live in Portsmouth, and agree on the holiday and just staying at the beach cottage.

 

I am heading down to Bissell Brothers on Saturday November 11th for the first time ever. Just wondering how big the line will be. If anyone can shed light on I would greatly appreciate it. Coming down from Canada with goodies!

 

I have the same type of question! I'm guessing with Swish being released on the 11th that it will be pretty crazy that day.

I'm heading there the next week on the 18th. It looks like they'll have Reciprocal releasing that day. Anyone have an idea of how long that usually lasts and if any of the Engram from Friday would be likely to make it to Saturday?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me and caseyjones out!

 

I suggest you watch your speed on the way, casyjones.

 

Lines for Reciprocal won't be an issue -- Swish likely to be a zoo. I went to 3 releases last year and always got there ~1 hour before opening and never had an issue getting an allotment and out of there by 1130ish Cheers.

 

Yeah caseyjones, take my advice you'd be better off dead.

They still had Reciprocal from Saturday available today so I wouldn't sweat that. Swish might be crazy but it's also the 2nd release so probably not as crazy as the first release. But if you get there an hour or so early you should be OK.

 

Probably big. Like I just posted, get there between 9 and 10 and you should be guaranteed cans.

 

Planning to do the Swish line for the first time this weekend, mostly because I have a friend in town. Personally I’d be more likely to wait a couple of months when the crowds die down. But since I’ll be standing around for a couple hours, what’s the deal with bottle sharing in line, generally cool if done discreetly or frowned upon?
