    Just show up in the afternoon. This doesn't need lines anymore.

    Port, apple brandy, rye whiskey, and gin barrels this time around, per a Facebook comment by the brewery. Sounds great as usual.

    I didn't love the gin last time they used it. But I'm sure it will be tasty.

    I'm thinking the wife and I will head up, grab a nice lobster roll or two somewhere then get some beer. Past experience leads me to believe (much like jbrews) there is no reason to get here early and wait in line.

    So last release bottles lasted until Sunday, which makes me think that the crowds on Saturday will die down at some point. Any wild speculation as when to arrive in order to avoid waiting more than 5-10 minutes? 6pm? Later?

    Had one from 2014 or 15 last weekend at a bottle share. Didn’t hold up well at all and was a drain pour. Hope it was an aberration vintage.

    Just had a 2015 on draft and thought it was delicious. Any heat it had dropped off and it was liquid fudgey raisins.

    I'm thinking about heading up that way tomorrow to have some MtL on draft. I've never been up that way before for this release but from the earlier posts it seems like they will not sell out Saturday. Has this been the case with all previous releases? I don't NEED bottles if I have to lineup at 7AM, but if I can head up that way around 1 or 2pm and still get some then I will plan for that. Thanks in advance

    I've went to a few of their releases over the last few years and you should have no problem getting bottles at 1 or 2 pm.
