    I've been lucky this summer, and have already crossed a lot off my list. Oxbow, Hill Farmstead, Alchemist, and more. Now I have two weeks off, a birthday coming up, and a wife asking me where I want to go.

    I'd like to stay within Maine/NH, but wondering where you would go?

    I live a half hour from Ebenezers, so other than that. I love filling growlers at out of the way places too :slight_smile:

    I'm aware this is a ridiculous question, and a good problem to have.

    You didn't list Marshall Wharf in there... great brewery that seems to continue to stay way under the radar. In Belfast, ME - you can stop at Lion's Pride in Brunswick on the way.

    I like CBC in Cambridge and Willibrew in CT, but these aren't in ME or NH. Sounds like you've got the local stuff covered though.

    I do love Marshall Wharf, and I haven't been yet this year. Plus oysters. Hmmm.

    I need to check them both out, thanks for the response. Yea, I'm just back from VT so I want to keep it close by since our 2 year old makes long drives tough.

    Won't be under the radar once their cans hit the market... next month maybe? I have been waiting patiently.

    Really looking forward to the cans! IMO Marshall Wharf is one of the top three breweries in Maine. Just a great all around portfolio of beers. Any chance we are going to see canned CantDog?
