Was suppose to go camping up in Baxter State Park, but due to weather we ended up doing a weekend getaway in Bangor.

Stopped by Tattooed Dad on the way up which was an awesome little spot and really liked that they had a tea program too, not just beer.

In Bangor we did a brewery crawl consisting of Geaghans, Orono, 2 Feet and Masons.

While you can't beat Mason's and Orono was of course great, the biggest surprise was 2 Feet. 

2 Feet, was just a really welcoming and cozy, but also a little quirky with a lot of character, exactly how a great neighborhood bar should be.

We didn't have time for Bangor Beer Company, Marsh Island, or Black Beer, but I'm doing the Maine Brewery Trail so I'll definitely will be back.

Overall, I was very impressed by the Bangor beer scene.

[Made a video of the trip if you want more details](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDpzZrr3Y2k).

What do you think local beer stores are lacking and what would you like to see them do better?

This can be anything:

* Beer Selection
* Other Beverage Selection
* Services

I know this is a stretch, but I figured I’d give it a whirl.

Somewhere between 2005-2008, there was a journal-style blog making the rounds. It was written anonymously by a cellarperson at Shipyard and exposed some crazy BTS practices and people. The guy got outed and fired and then the blog disappeared. Can’t remember enough about it to search via the wayback machine, but I know many at the time screenshotted/saved it.. or maybe someone remembers the blog name. Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

So, I bought the 1 liter Paulaner Oktoberfest can & mug the other day because it was only $5, and I love it. Then I'm thinking and drinking, and I start wondering if anyone knows any breweries in the state that would be cool with bringing this in and paying for multiple beers to fill it up? Because a mug of Airline's Scottish Ale, Lubec's Quoddy Red, or Norway's Inglorious Bastard sounds pretty good. (Along with countless others, of course. Baxter's Firestack, I'm looking at you.)

Hi all! I will be visiting Maine for a wedding in September - flying into Portland and then driving up to Boothbay Harbor. Would love to visit a brewery or two in Portland once we get in, or if there’s a great spot on the way, we’re happy to stop. Ambience, a good variety of beer styles, and easy food accessibility are all a plus (coming from Denver where many breweries do not have food in-house, not sure how it is in Maine!). Thanks!

...and how many beers they discontinued in the past few years. Left the States in 2018. Returned about a year ago. Beers I saw around for years before (Black, Interlude *cries*, Hugh Malone,etc.), and seemed like staples, gone. Pretty bummed. 

But! This means new ones(limited's) to discover. Any recs would be much appreciated. 
Still not over the fact I'll never drink Interlude again though.

Where's the best place to buy "distressed" craft beer in Maine?

 AUBURN – The City of Auburn and Mason’s Brewing Company are delighted to announce that Mason’s will be expanding their widely successful Maine brand into the heart of beautiful downtown Auburn.

Mason’s will occupy the ground and first floors of the exciting new mixed-use facility being built at 186 Main Street by Great Falls Construction.

The location, situated along the Androscoggin River, will feature a brewery, distillery, and an upscale dining experience similar to Mason’s current location in Brewer.

“At Mason’s, we take deep pride in creating the perfect beer with precision, hard work and quality ingredients,” says Chris Morley, Mason’s owner and brewer. “We are excited to expand our brand in Auburn and to connect with this community.”

This collaboration has been in the works for a while now, according to Jay Brenchick, Auburn’s Director of Economic Development. “I have been working with Chris for two years to get this project off the ground at this site and couldn’t be more pleased that it has become a reality.”

Auburn Mayor Jason Levesque is particularly excited about the news that Mason’s is coming to Auburn. “Masons is a great example of a high-end, existing operation that sees real value in expansion into Auburn due to our city’s growth and business-friendly policies,” said Levesque.

Mason’s Auburn location is expected to open in late spring/early summer 2023.

What happened to the new brewery opening in Lewiston? Lisbon St maybe? Thought they won a small business incubator contest & some cash $$. Ran into the couple at Moderation in Brunswick. Anyone know the latest? Sad to see Bear Bones close.

So I'm heading up to Camden for a week. Where should I go to get my beer for the week? I know the co-op in Belfast has a lot of good stuff, but does anywhere else in that general area have a really good local craft beer selection?

I am voting for Tributary.  They get overshadowed by the Portland scene, but Tod Mott and group make great beers in every style.  I appreciate that each beer seems to be the quintessential best version of that style.  Given that so many of my other favorite breweries are heavy on adjunct usage, Tributary is a breath of fresh clean beer. 

Cant say I have ever had a beer from them that I did not enjoy.

Who do you think consistently makes the best beer in Maine?

This is my favorite beer, I drive from New Jersey a few times each year to pick it up, many thanks to Bissell Brothers for doing what they do

first time trying definitive brewing co. so I grabbed this margarita machine sour ale. this has to be one of the best sours I've had recently. tastes just like a margarita on a warm summer night.

Hey there

Heading up to portland next week for a few days vacation and was wondering besides the breweries im stopping at where the best places to pickup some local beers would be in the city. (Liquor store,grocery store etc. etc.)
