Bissell Brothers (2018)

Hey man! Recip is $16.88/4-pack with tax and can deposit... so yeh, roughly $17/4-pack...

As for next Wednesday on March 7, that will be a noon start as usual on a non-Swish Wednesday...

 

Heading up this Saturday for the Swish release, pretty excited! Quick question: How is parking? I have seen a few posts about parking meters, etc. Does BB have their own parking? Is there a street we should park on? Thanks in advance!

 

First, thanks for planning to make the trip up for Swish on Saturday, this batch is tasting terrific...

Unfortunately, as far as parking goes... The good news is that there is plenty of parking here at Thompson's Point. The bad news is that our landlord's, the developers behind Thompson's Point, do charge for parking (I think it's like @$2/hour)... They do enforce this too. There isn't really anything we can do about it (as far as Bissell Brothers is concerned). Hope this helps, and let me know if you need any more info.

 

Thanks Mike for the quick response. While I would prefer to not pay for parking, I have no problems dropping $4-6 to ensure I get some fresh Swish (and not stress about getting a ticket).

Also, will their be any other cans available to go on Saturday? Would love to get some Substance to take back with me. Thanks again!

 

Of course man, I'd prefer you to not pay for parking either!

And yes! We will have Subby on Saturday as well, and potentially even some roll-over cans of Resolve from Friday's release (and if you're lucky, Precept may last the week too!)...

Hope this helps!

 

Bring your mud boots!

 

Looking forward to what should be my first visit on Saturday, but I'm not sure how motivated my friends will be getting into town. Should we be fine arriving around 11:30AM?

 

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, there've been a few wednesday recip releases at 11, so I wanted to make sure.. thanks!

 

Tough call, Mike can correct me, but something like 50/50 for cans at that time.

 

I'd say, if you are here by 11:30 am, you have a very good shot at cans... And hi-fives...

 

Umbra doesnt typically sell out in a day right? I'm probably going to be in the area saturday and i'm hoping to pick some up.

 

With Swish on Wednesday, and then Diavoletto today and Umbra tomorrow (Friday), there is a very good chance that we will have all three beers available on Saturday (Diavoletto, Umbra, and Substance)...

 

Hey guys, total coincidence but family is visiting my brother-in-law for the last Swish release this year. (I know no one knows exactly) but if I show up at 10:30 or 11, what is the scene like these days. Our last visit was 2 years ago (so ... old place) so I have no perspective now. I'm deciding whether to leave the kids or bring them with me to line up. Thanks!

 

The last Swish release for the year (April 21) will be a big one, and we'll start selling cans at 11:00am, with the line forming (likely) well before that time... I know it's not the greatest answer, but I'd recommend getting here as early as (1) you possibly can and (2) at a time you feel comfortable getting here to wait...

Hope that helps and makes sense!

 

Thanks Mike ... I expected the packed answer! I will gauge the family and maybe we will just come in on Friday for Substance hope for Wednesday or Thursday leftovers

 

Sure thing! Just to let you know, I would pretty much certainly say--probably 99% sure--that Precept (our fantastic German-Style Pilsner) will be leftover on Friday and likely Saturday too.

Lux might rollover to Friday--I'd say 50-50 there--but, I would doubt that it will last until Saturday... Hope this all helps!

 

I’m going to be in from NYC on the 23rd... what are my odds umbra cans last through the week? Or at the very least that it or swish will be on tap somewhere?
If odds are zero for both of those- Side question; anyone want to trade me some umbra and/or swish for some NY stuff?

 

Umbra cans sold out last Saturday, so there would be zero chance on that unfortunately. We will definitely have Swish on tap here at the brewery on Saturday, March 24... but it will not likely be on tap here (or anywhere else in Portland for that matter) until Saturday at the earliest...

Hope that helps. Enjoy the visit to Maine!

 

Hey thanks for the lightning fast reply!
Looks like I’m trying to trade!
Anyone got some?

 

Does anyone know (maybe @mike_v_sardina ?) when the "Summer" release schedule will go up? Heading up to Portland from NJ for a friend's wedding June 1-4 and will definitely be making a pit stop (whether the wife likes it or not).

Just had my first can of Swish this week via trade and I'm officially on the BB bandwagon.
