    Who is gonna tell him BB is at best the third best brewery in Portland?

    Also, yes, co-sign Bier Cellar. Great people, great selection.

    We got a huge drop of 3F og and AG several months ago that has been sitting forever. Supplies are starting to dwindle, but I believe you may still find it at Bier Cellar in Portland and Oak Hill Beverage in Scarborough. Both of those would be on the top of my list of recommendations for bottle shops in general.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. If you are looking for 3F there is Hommage, Oude Kriek, A&G and more OG hitting next week.

    We will have an email blast early next week with the ability to buy and we will hold it for anyone.

    Cheers

    Depends what you want to do, but Portland is pretty freakin' awesome. The corner in the industrial park is always a great take - Allagash, Foundation, etc - all across the street from each other, couple food trucks for bonus points. Oxbow - kinda at the end of the downtown area - funky, but in my opinion a little hit or miss and pricey. Rising Tide and Bunker were neighbor-ish but Bunker I think moved out to where Bissell Bros are now or maybe they both did - don't remember. You kinda can't go wrong on breweries even if you don't have a solid plan and just hit places as you find 'em. Depends on how much time you have and volume consumption...we did a half dozen breweries a couple years back and probably should not have been driving just from sharing flights at each. Sneaks up on ya, and there's more breweries in business now versus then.

    I tried to sign up repeatedly for that bier cellar email list and everytime I get an error message.
