    So I'm sitting here with Sneezyachew, and I am drinking some lovely Zoe. He claims it is "the best Maine Beer Co Beer." Granted, this entire topic is subjective, but nonetheless, I choose Lunch! Let's make a poll (because we can:grimacing: )!

    I have had them all at point or another and I am definitely choosing Lunch. Everything they make is quite good, but Lunch is just slightly above the rest. I would probably put Peeper at two and Zoe at three. All are worth buying though.

    Zoe was fantastic. I've only had that and Peeper unfortunately.

    Lunch really took me back. What a great little brewery.

    Am I crazy for tasting a little hint of lavender or something in their hops?

    I really dig Peeper. Lunch was great too. So far, can't really go wrong with that Maine Beer Stuff.

    I love them all, but Lunch just narrowly beats out Zoe and Peeper as the best. I can get almost all of their beers pretty easily up at school, but Lunch is pretty much come and gone until they brew the next batch. Anyway here is a nice pic of a stash I brought home for spring break.

    I was not overly impressed with Peeper and I have not had Lunch or Zoe, but I did really enjoy Mean old Tom. I anxiously await both Zoe and Lunch to try since Maine has come to PA.

    I have only had the Pepper and the Mean Old Tom (that is all I have been able to find in my local bottleshops) and I really enjoyed both but as I am more of a stout guy, I had to vote for the Mean Old Tom.

    Had them all and it's Zoe by a hair for me.

    Need to try some fresh Lunch, but as of now it's Zoe for me.

    Close race between Zoe and Peeper.

    I don't fully understand the Lunch love. It's a very nice beer but there are lots of better IPA's out there. But Zoe and Peeper? There are extremely few hoppy reds or pale ales better than those two - they are both world class for the style.

    Mean Old Tom is fully drinkable but ultimately disappointing compared to the other MBC beers.

    Lunch gets more love because it's rarer. Did whoever vote for Mean Old Tom do so just because he or she doesn't like hoppy beers at all?

    I'm pretty sure these guys can do no wrong, but when forced to pick one I had to vote for Zoe (not that I'd turn down any of their beers).

    Zoe! The first time I had this I picked it up after an amazing trip to Acadia. The beer was just as good as the trip, perfect way to end it. Lunch is great but Zoe gets the edge for me.

    I had both Zoe and Mean Old Tom on draft, and was wholly disappointed. Zoe tasted like a standard amber ale, not something godly and hoppy like Nugget Nectar like I was led to believe. As for Tom, it tasted like your every day, run of the mill stout....nothing really special IMO
