    hey guys,

    I haven't been to Portland since Bissell moved. I would love to grab some epiphany while I'm there this week but wasn't sure how fast it's been moving. Will there be a line Thursday at 3? Should I be able to stroll in at any time during Thursday and be able to grab some cans?

    It's been in pretty short supply as of late so there may be a few extra people at the brewery, that being said the lines have been shorter (more evenly spread throughout the day?) since BB moved. They almost always have it for growler fills though. Also a limited chance to grab cans at CBC, Bier Cellar, and Whole Foods in Portland. Most weeks they have Epiphany cans it sells out by the end of the day Thursday or first thing Friday.

    Great thanks for the heads up. Sounds like I'll be able to score some. To me epiphany is a cut above Bissell brothers

    If I was forced to pick a favorite in the DIPA category Epiphany would be my choice. How long will you be in Maine for?

    Today to Thursday. I live in Boston but have family here so I make it up fairly often. Have never been to Brewers row during the summer though.

    If the canning run goes smoothly for them, we should see some Epiphany and Wanderlust at open on Wednesday. We always post those to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter when they arrive, and send out advance notice day before to our email list.

    I usually grab my cans at my local store on Wednesday's, I'm always happy to help a BA get a beer if they miss it.

    Has anyone seen any Epiphany in Portland this week? Even on draft? I've struck out at Thirsty Pig and Bovare. Thanks.

    Keep an eye on the Little Tap House. Otherwise, your best bet is the brewery.

    How are the can releases typically? I see they are doing afterglow and epiphany next week, are they easily available? Short line? Long line?

    Add me to the list of folks who'd appreciate any insights/tips on Saturday can releases from folks who have gone before. Thank you!

    Can't comment on the line, but will say that they did sell out the day of release. Would suggest getting there at least 30 mins prior to opening.

    Epiphany used to last a few days at the brewery, but the July release didn't make it 2 days and the last release sold out in a couple of hours. Welcome to summer in Maine.

    Bumping this thread as I have friends in Portland this weekend. What are the chances of seeing Epiphany cans either at the Brewery or at the few retail places that get it on occasion? Any help is appreciated.

    Not very likely to find Epiphany cans. Next release is scheduled for 10/12. There should be Venture and Afterglow cans available this weekend. Growlers of Epiphany are typically available as well.

    Thoughts on cans making it to the following week/weekend? Sounds like growlers should be an option then at least.

    Hi All - Heading up to Portland tomorrow and it looks like Epiphany Cans will be released. Anyone have any idea what the last few releases have looked like? Trying to decide if I should get to Bissell first for substance and then Foundation.
    Thanks.
