    I agree! I'd take MO over Lunch as well.

    I've had Lunch and Another One (as well as Weez) each over a dozen times, and while a few months ago I would have said Lunch without a thought, Another One has seriously grown on me. It seems Another One has taken a step forward while Lunch has taken a step back. The last few times I had lunch I thought the flavor was a bit muted (or watery, if that makes sense?). Another One's profile just seems to be much more complex and in your face.

    surprised so many people prefer Another One and by such an apparent margin.

    by the way, echo the shout out to a tiny beautiful something or whatever it's called. that was a very satisfying beer.

    anyway, i prefer Another One too (and i like the caps and quotes and other ways of making it appear to be a proper noun). i don't think they're in a different league or anything... well, maybe. i guess for me, lunch is pushing into the realm of double sunshine, heady, abner... but when it's fresh and a great batch, it's *in* that realm. so is Another One, but neither is actually better than, again, heady, DS, abner, so...

    i'm rambling. i'm just surprised the comparison is so emphatic for almost a page of people. for me they're both about equal, but i like another one more. could vary by mood they're so close.

    I just had Dinner for the first time today at the brewery (couldn't get out of work early enough to get any bottles, they sold out in 3 hours, so I saddled up with a 10 oz pour), and it was hands down the best dipa I've ever had. After I had my drink and drove the 15 minutes to get to my house, the hops were still tingling in my mouth. An absolute juggernaut of a beer.

    Another One was soooo fresh tasting, I actually had it the same week as Lunch, both fresh. Another One was just slightly better.

    I've had 2 bottles of Lunch the past two days and it was pretty good, guess now I'm ISO Another One.

    Another One has been one of my top 3 for a few years now. It's reasonable to find and always fresh. Got some Dinner today for the second time, I love Lunch and Dinner but I'll take Mo and Another One any day. Can the rest of you go back to hunting for Lunch and leave my Another One alone. P.S. might be one of the worst beers names ever... try asking for it with someone who doesn't know what it is.

    Another One blew me away. Probably my favorite single IPA along with Elevated.

    Drove about 2 1/2 hours to the brewery today after being promised by multiple people that there's no way they'd sell out of dinner.

    They'd sold out of Dinner : (

    BUT I got a case of the freshest Lunch possible (brewed yesterday) and some Mean Old Toms (wondering how bottle compares to tap, which I loved).

    So if anyone's needing some Lunch, maybe I'm your guy.
    If you want some Dinner, you're gonna have to go cook some.

    if i were you, i'd phone in some half days at work and go to town on the case of lunch myself. fresh lunch is the shit. one of the better consolation prizes(:

    It is totally delicious. I got to try Dinner, which was pretty great, so it was overall not a horrible evening. Just a hike!

    But the Lunch is good enough that I want others to try it, ya know? I've never gotten it a day old before, nor in such quantity, that's for sure.

    I was in a store on Long Island for for first time. Maine Beer is not prevalent in my area, saw rows and rows of bottles of all Maine Beer at this store! Was excited for a minute until I looked at the dates, all the beer was mostly bottled in 2013 or early 2014. All out of code except a stout. Store was loaded with old IPAs, there were 5 or 6 cases of Hopslam stacked up.

    Not much. Still $6 or $7 a bottle in Portland. Maybe it's less at the brewery, I dunno.

    I totally agree! Another One is terrific. Was amazed to find Lunch in bottles available but Another One sold out at the brewery...figured it meant there were lots of kindred souls out there. I must say though... was lucky to get Dinner this week and it completely blew me away!!

    I, too, was given Another One as an extra in a trade. Woah! It looks and smells similar to HT for me. Peachy, soapy, hoppy. I was blown away.

    I also prefer Another One to Lunch, although Lunch gets all the hype.

    I was lucky enough to grab a case of Dinner a couple days ago and that's the stuff you want to get your hands on!

    Everything they do is just so well crafted. Fantastic brewery. The prices however..... That being said.

    Another One over Lunch. Can't wait to try Dinner....
