I bet where he stays in Freeport to where you meet up is farther than his stay in NYC to Brooklyn, but I can take a hint

I thought Mater had gone to see you when he posted that picture of a sandie the other day.     http://thehotpepper.com/topic/59335-t0matos-trials/page-72#entry1578384
 
Took me a second to realize that was a marble floor and not him dangling his feet in the Gowanus canal.

I was really skeptical, bringing this 4 pack up to the register. But, holy shit, this is a refreshing beer! I'd be hard pressed to think of a better sour to be drinking on a +90* day

It's a sour, but has lactose. "Milkshake sour?" (my words)
Is that even a thing? hahaha
Collective Arts knocks another one out of the park

I missed that one Mike. Their guava gose and IPA #6 with peach are out now too. You should see them real soon. Hearing nothing but good about the #6

We only had one night and it was an action packed one.

[MikeUSMC]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Full disclosure: at my buddy's house, and I didn't even see a raquet
Everybody's lucky too, cuz I was ready to wipe the floor!

We were playing cornhole instead

 

[MikeUSMC]

Back home now
Been smashing these back all day too. I think I drank 100 sours today, hahaha!

[Thegreenchilemonster]

I'm glad to see you are getting into sours, Mike!

 

[FreeportBum]

Damn. Last time we were in Maine I missed the dinner release by a few days too, and by then it was all gone.

I vaguely remember you posting a pic of those pulled pork nachos a while back. That place sounds awesome.

Now they produce 2-3 times the amount from the last time you were here, so there's a real good chance it will still be on tap Friday. Just in case I'll save a bottle for you guys to try. You are gonna love Bissell! Cheers

Hey, Boss. Collective Arts is doing a "NYC Launch Tour" this/next week. They're gonna be right in Brooklyn on 9/7/18 (this Friday) and 9/13/18 (next Thursday). They make some great beers. You should check them out:
https://collectiveartsbrewing.com/nyc/

TGCM, looks like they just did a DDH Brut IPA collab w/ Aslin too. It's called "Hot Pink" w/ Hallertau Blanc and Vic Secret hops. I'll definitely have my eyes peeled for that one!

Yeah, I noticed that Aslin did a collab with Collective Arts. I think Collective Arts might be at the Aslin anniversary beer festival in a couple of weeks. I'll dig through the list, there are supposed to be 100+ breweries there.
