Maine Wedding - Keg Ideas

Where in Maine? Allagash White would be good. Black Bear Brewing Liquid Sunshine hefe is delicious - just had a keg this past weekend at a reunion.

 

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...classic, nice and hoppy, and about 5%

We put a huge dent in a keg of this at my buddy's camp this summer...such a great beer, and I think even more delicious on draft like this. Should be a crowd pleaser too.

 

Shoot us an email, we are in Portland and can get Founders All Day IPA in 1/4 and 1/2 on the regular. [email protected].

 

I'd go with Oxbow Farmhouse Pale. Not sure if they come in anything bigger than 1/6 barrels though.

 

Couldn't agree more - If I was doing it again, I'd have pushed hard to make Oxbow FPA happen for the reception... IF the 1/6 is a problem, might I suggest getting TWO of 'em (And if you don't use it, feel free to send it my way).

Best of Luck, and Congrats!

 

Maine Beer Sixtel. Sure it's overpriced but........

Do what's right.

 

I wish we could still post meme's here. I feel like there is a lot of potential with this "Do what's right" trend...

 

We can do Oxbow Farmhouse Pale and Loretta too. They only send out to retail in 1/6 though.

 

Pour the peeper. I hosted a party with that on tap a few months ago and people loved it.

 

Had some Peeper on tap at a local restaurant last week. So fresh and deliciously hoppy. I've had plenty of beer labeled as IPA that weren't that hoppy. A relative bargain at $6/pint. <scratches head abt same retail price with less quality/freshness>

 

DDG, isn't that the answer to all questions.

 

I'd recommend this as well if you can get it. Looks like their is a store in Portland that can get kegs and the brewery in Newcastle isn't really all that remote by Maine standards.

 

I had a 1/6 of Allagash White for my 40th. While the beer is excellent, it was extremely foamy for the barrel. You had to let it sit for a long, long time and would require multiple top-offs just to get a full pint. I told the retailer about it, but I'm hoping it was just something with my particular barrel.

 

Why would they want that non whale turd?

 

Do you read the posts before you post? There is a guy who has answered the OP twice from a beer store in Portland who has already said he can get that.

 

Yea, I do. No need for a snarky response. The OP didn't say where in Maine this wedding will be so Portland may or may not be convenient, hence why I mentioned the brewery in Newcastle as another option. Oxbow is a small brewery and depending on where in Maine this wedding is, the OP may very well NOT be able to find a keg of FPA.

 

Was this just a barrel on ice or from a kegerator? In either event a dispensing system needs to be balanced. Hard to do with a keg on ice, but a requirement to pour foam free from a kegerator.

 

Just a keg on ice with a standard tap. If you let it settle, it drank fine. There was just an absurd amount of foam.
