    Just got here. About 50 people in line to enter. I think they are at capacity and doing one-in/one-out

    They do have a bottles-only line if you don't want to enter

    Kudos to NS for running another great event. There were about 50 people in line for entry when we arrived at 4pm but it only took 15 minutes to get through the door. There was separate entry and a table right inside the door if you just wanted to buy bottles and/or cans. Two separate bars and two different places you could pick up bottles/cans. About 10 free play arcade games. Two or three food vendors. A couple of vendors with crafty things. Deck was open and another separate room was open beyond the tap room. No limits on Everweiss bottles and it looked like there were plenty of cases of Morph, Whirlpool and Sanitilli to go around. Both Everweiss and Harborside are tasting fantastic. I overheard a barkeep say this was their busiest day ever at the tap room but it didn't seem overly crowded.

    One thing I noted: This batch of Everweiss clocks in at 3.3% ABV. I think previous batches were higher, maybe 5%. And this batch of Harborside is at 4.1%. I think it used to be higher also. (Not a bad thing in my book. I'm always glad to have more session beer options. Especially sours!)

    How's the line looking? Worth heading over?

    Did you end up going? When I left at ~5:30pm there was a line of maybe a dozen waiting to enter. I can't imagine the wait was longer than 10 minutes. I hear that this was a 60 barrel batch of Ever Weisse so I suspect there should be plenty of bottles still around for

    I went over around 8 or so, and there was no line and the place had pretty well cleared out by 9:30. I have a feeling there's plenty of Ever Weisse left to go around. It was my first time over there since I just moved to the area yesterday. They've got a nice setup, and was pleasantly surprised how many barrels they have stacked up in the back.

    I went there around 6 or 7ish, walked right in. A very well run event. Servers were prompt and helpful, food truck was solid. The video games and corn hole were awesome to play while enjoying some solid beer. Everweisse was tasty, and the 3.3% abv was appreciated.

    Plenty of space for everyone, and a rather huge space in general. Thanks for hosting this event, I had a blast and need to make it a point to return.

    Cheers!

    Glad to hear you enjoyed the event. We were pretty happy with how smooth the day went and our team did a killer job.

    For those still looking for Ever, we still have it on draft in bottles. Should last a few weeks, I think.

    Great event! Although waiting in lines is never fun, it was definitely worth it and it never felt too crowded once you were in.

    Stopped in yesterday, still plenty of Ever & Harborside left. Both are so yummy, great job guys. I also realllly enjoyed one hop: ella. Wish we could get that in bottles! I've loved all of the one hops so far.

    I think I like Harborside more than ever which I was not expecting.
