    Seeing Bottles and kegs of Gigantic IPA and Superbad Stout from the other Portland appearing around Maine this week.

    Bier Cellar's newsletter said it was a screw up by the distributor so it'll be a one-time only deal. Enjoy it!

    Lol mixing up Portland Maine and Portland Oregon in terms of shipping costs sounds really expensive. Someone got fired for that one

    How exactly does that work? Can distributors sell beers without state approval? I know in NH each label requires approval so I can't imagine a scenario where something was shipped in and accidentally sold.

    This is a legit drop. All registered. It was a long time in setting up. It is not so much as weird glitch as it is a little out of the ordinary distro model.

    Thanks for the info! I wonder why distribution would go through the long set-up timeline for a one-time transaction. I guess stranger things have happened.

    Why the big deal? Better stuff locally in Maine I would presume.
