It is no longer time to buy tix for the November 6-7, 2009 Maine Brewers Festival... tune in later this winter. We might have a Valentine's Day promo for a limited number of tix... tell your Beer Babe now.

We were doing a little website dreaming and planning, Web Boy and I, meeting at the Coat of Arms Pub in Portsmouth.

Man, oh, man, what a fine place for a stormy night, with an abundant supply of draft-craft, and a good selection of cask-conditioned choices, including the full and tasty Pugsley's Signature Series Imperial Porter.

I like a beer served in its own personalized glass, sorta' reminds me of the Euro way, and it shows the pub supports its local brewers... hear, hear!


We followed the Imperial Porter with a glass of hand-pulled Old Thumper, also from Shipyard, up the road in Portland.

We have some good plans for making this site more useful as a place for you to Learn Your Beer, and for starting a Twitter feed to keep you updated in real time about what we're learning, and where!
