    Agreed; as soon as I cracked the can and saw/smelled the beer inside, I knew it was going to be awesome. Did not disappoint at all. Also, gotta love how you now get 16 ounces more for only 2 bucks more per four-pack; price drop of ~3 cents/ounce.

    Night Shift was an absolute mob scene today. Had a brief window of downtime in the area and wanted to stop in for a few 4pks. Drove by and it was a scene more typical of Monson. Line out the door, cars double parked in front loading cans in the trunk. Just nuts. Happy for those guys. Gonna have to find another way to get that Morph tho...

    It was really busy there today...but the car loading situation was because this is the last weekend for 2015 barrel society members to get their stuff. Those people were getting their 2015 bottles plus extras/cases of cans/etc. New Morph is insanely good.

    Edit: Never seen a brewery selling more flights than Night Shift. They had 17 beers today so there is a huge selection, but I was one of a handful actually drinking 12oz or 16oz beers.

    First time for me today. It was a mad house. Since I was just getting to go cans I was able to skip the line outside and go right in to the to go line inside. Was 7th in line but took like 25 mins. Lots of people complaining but I wasn't one. I was in town and just happy to get a bunch of 4 packs.

    Guess being there early paid off today! The wife and I sat at the bar for flights and then grabbed cans to go without issue. Glad to see they are doing well as they have the best tasting room around in my opinion.

    Saturday's are usually jammed packed from pretty much open till close. Our taproom expansion will helpfully increase our ability to server people faster and not have people waiting outside to get in. But we are still a few months away from that being open. If you want a more low key visit come earlier in the week.

    Also - have an awesome week of beers being packaged/released. Today we are canning 87 DIPA, tomorrow is a new batch of Morph, and Wedneday is Whirlpool. Then Thursday releasing a collaboration barrel aged sour that we did with the guys from Trophy Brewing down in NC.

    Santilli uses a blend of Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial, Columbus & Citra.

    @masterob8 — Do y'all ever consider adding a Morph batch to the regular rotation? I love Santilli (it was the most popular beer at my wedding a few months ago, so I enjoy drinking it for those reasons as well as its deliciousness) and The 87, but this most recent batch of Morph is just unbelievable. I'm sure it would sell like crazy as another core IPA. I'm bummed I only got two four-packs of it!

    We are always considering adding Morph batches to the regular line up. The challenge is getting enough hops to make it more regular. The last batch had galaxy in it which we don't have a ton of. But we try to buy it from fellow brewers all the time.

    That being said tomorrow's Morph should be equally awesome. Same malt & water bill but hopped with Galaxy, Simcoe and Azzaca.

    Now if only I could find it nearby. Everett might as well be the moon for those of us on the lower 495 belt.

    Where do you live? We do sell beer down your way. Yankee spirits in Swansea and Attleboro both carry us. http://www.nightshiftbrewing.com/where-to-buy

    My wife brought a can of 1/21/16 Morph back for me this past weekend, great stuff. Really similar to Block 15's Intergalactic Hopshop in appearance, flavor and aroma.

    1/21 Morph is really, really good. Wishing I picked up another 4 pack. Well done @masterob8

    I see Furth is going to be canned. Taproom only, or can we expect to see distro?

    Yup! First canning is happening later this month. It will see distro. Hefes might not be the sexiest style these days but its a brewers/staff favorite. We are all very excited to crush cans of this beer.

    Fourth is so well done for a hefe, one of my favorites. Would great to have in cans for summer, would be an amazing beach beer.

    Just grabbed some morph tall boys for the Super Bowl and a bottle of Trophy which probably won't make it till Sunday. Morph canned 2/2.
