    It will be our 1st time at Duckfat & The Thirsty Pig ... do both of these places have a decent if not good selection at all times or do they swap in the usual suspects on occasion?

    I'm pretty certain that Duckfat always has a Marshall Wharf or Oxbow beer on tap. Food there is excellent.

    Thirsty Pig seems to have the typical local offerings of a MBC, Sebago, Allagash, Oxbow, with a good amount of Shipyard since as I understand it the restaurant is somehow affiliated with them. Pretty good sausages, and there's certainly something to wet the palate before or after Novare Res.

    Thirsty Pig does not have a Marshall Wharf beer right now. They really like our Weiner. Duckfat is pouring the Weisse Grip Hefeweizen. While there check out the Eastender right next door to Duckfat. Two bars, upstairs and down. They have our Chaos Chaos RIS and the Phil Brown on draft. marshallwharf.com to see other spots in Portland pouring our beer. Wish I could join you guys. Where should I leave samples growlers for you?

    Anywhere along the way, I guess. We'll share 'em! Unless you want them reviewed, then I'd suggest shipping them to us with ice packs. Thanks!

    Can't wait to brew at Allagash and then do Portland, BA-style.

    I'll catch you guys on your turf in Boston sometime down the road with cans and bombers. Have fun in Portland!

    Just left Novare a few minutes ago, nice to see Todd and Jason again after something like eight or ten years. Time to start planning Boston trip in September for Belgian Beer Fest to taste some of the beer they made today!
