    I heard we're supposed to finally be landing a portion of the Maine Beer Co. portfolio in Indy. The first 3 months should be good while they're fresh -- we know know they'll end up growing roots due to Hoosier buying habits, unfortunately. Anyone heard which beers we'll be seeing?

    It's not Hoosier buying habits...it's everywhere.

    New brewery enters market...everyone gets excited.

    Once everyone's tried the "new" beers, they look for the hot new local option or whatever other brewery just hit the market.

    Shelf turds accumulate.

    Brewery pulls out of market.

    Happens in Chicago with startling regularity...

    Ohio too! However, Maine Beer Co. has been coming to the Cincy area for a while now and their stuff seems to move pretty well. Smaller single bottles might help (although $$). They typically arrive in different assortments...I think I've seen Lunch, MO, Peeper, Another One, Tiny Beautiful Something, Woods and Waters, Mean Old Tom, and Titus.

    Maine has been floating around shelves in the Chicagloand area for awhile. I am not sure how it'll do here, but, hey

    yea been seeing the Maine Beers here in Chicago for a bit now, and I absolutely love their beers, they have a certain softness / refined 'delicateness' to them that I find extremely appealing. However after buying everything once or twice, I don't buy it anymore as it is in a format I don't really care for, and I have started to see them sit around on shelfs here also :/
    If they would be in fourpacks I'd probably buy Lunch and Woods & Waters all the time.
