ME/VT trip highlights

Yes Foundation does growlers. They almost always have Epiphany for growler fills. They have cans until the afternoon usually, but there is no can release for Nov. 2. They may still have cans of Venture and Afterglow from Saturday. If your a fan of sours or other styles they will have several bottles, pricey but good. Be sure to check out Austin St on the other side. Fore River Brewing, Lone Pine, Oxbow, Liquid Riot, and Rising Tide are other good stops. Foulmouthed Brewing is a good stop for beer and great food.

 

With soon to come Battery Steele Brewing...

 

How long do you allow holds for? I will be in Portland the week of Nov 20

Thanks
Mike

 

Typically a week on hoppy stuff, no limit on sours, stouts, wilds, etc.

 

How do you stop someone from paying for an IPA online if they're not coming in for like 2 weeks? Curious how it works. I'll be there on the 12th.

 

When the order is processed online, it only authorizes your card, we don't actually charge until you pick it up. If the beer has been sitting too long, we send out an email letting you know we are cancelling the order.

 

Good to know. Thanks.

 

I know it's a tourist trap, but still a must go place for dinner for me. DeMIllo's on the waterfront. Sandy's on Portland outskirts is dive restaurant, but has great seafood. Lost Bear is a landmark beer joint. Downtown Portland has a lot of great bars too. But you really should go down the road 30 miles, to Kittery and go to Tributary Brewing. Tod Mott (owner/brewer) is one of the founding fathers of micro-brews in New England. He came up with Kate the Great. Now he offers Mott the Lesser. Also nearby in downtown Kittery is The Black Birch; great beer joint and great food.

 

I went to BB today. There were 15 people there at open, no line but it was a Wednesday. They said the swish release will be crazy again, even though they will have 6 lines and will open at 10. I like how they have had swish on tap for a month. I got the last 4 pack of hoof hearted dragonsaddle triple IPA at RSVP, but bier cellar might have it.
