Calling Beer Nerds who live in or near Portland, ME.

marklog thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Sep 4th 2015 at 12:35pm ET

You live near Portland, ME. You love beer and enjoy standing in lines. I'm looking to trade beer that I can't get for beer you can't get. Bissel Bros and Foundation specifically, but I don't pretend to know the rest of the Portland beer scene. Let's talk!

Sorry about the classified ad. I'm desperate.

ahhhh I love Bissell Bros so much.

(not my photo)

Have you had anything from Austin Street Brewery? Located in the same warehouse as those two.

- @becca no! In fact, the only thing I've had from any of them is Epiphany.

- @marklog I've loved everything Bissell (substance, bucolia, lux). Foundation is damn good too. I found Austin Street a little more standard, but quality. Not sure if they're bottling yet. Allagash is next door to all these guys. You should do a NE beercation.

- @becca @marklog more and more I wonder if I'm making a mistake by not living in Portland/Austin/Denver/Seattle.

- @JonT if beer is your barometer, add 'anywhere in MI'. I love the beer in some of those areas, but when i come home I realize that it's immersive.

- @marklog definitely not my only consideration. That said, I went to MI for an amazing vacation on the lake near Frankfort so I have fond memories of the place.

- @marklog I have a Stormcloud Brewery shirt! :) It's always interesting to me when I travel to learn about the local "drinkable" beer that everyone has. I.E. Shiner Bock here.
  
  In Frankfort it was Oberon.

I'm a big fan of Allagash, they're in Portland. Main Beer Company is nearby in Freeport, they are also good.

So... I'm drinking an Epiphany Clone. Its amazing! Aroma and taste are spot on, but it's too yellow.
