Portland, ME Pete - This is a cool place. I went here on a Saturday mid-afternoon. It was crowded but not crazy, and the lines for beers were pretty minimal. They have some food available, and beers on draft - including small pours - and to go, though many more options on draft. They also have nitro coffee on tap. Pretty big place with a cool view of the brewery itself, and the beers are amazing. They have an advanced beer release schedule if you're interested in making sure you get the beers you want to go.
Bissell Brothers LUX Rye Beer - 5.1% ABV Pete This is a great beer. It's a little bit bitter, but as if you're eating fruit and got too much rind, not hoppy bitter. You do get some nice hop flavors, mostly pine, but definitely taste some citrus (and the citrus smell is quite strong - a good thing). It has just enough rye to add an edge without overpowering the other flavors that I would hope for with a low-ish alcohol IPA.
Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's
Bissell Brothers Nothing Gold Imperial New England IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete Ultra-hazy, as you can tell from the picture. Tons and tons of tropical citrus flavors. I preferred Preserve & Protect, though they're quite similar. This is a bit creamier/hazier, which I felt took away from the citrus flavors. Still unreal.

Bissell Brothers Preserve & Protect New England IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete Looks and tastes like juice. It's super hazy, but doesn't come off quite as creamy as some of the others. Just a straight up juice bomb.

Bissell Brothers The Substance Ale New England IPA - 6.6% ABV Pete Hazy, citrusy, and dank. The citrus and dank-ness are very well balanced in a way that makes this appealing to lovers of both. It's their flagship for a reason.
