I had a friend make an attempt. He showed up at 9AM. They had sold out by 8. He traded for one bottle in the parking lot afterwards. The guy he traded with showed up at 3:30AM to get in line and he wasn't even the first person there.

My relative rolled into the parking lot at Maine Beer Co about 5AM and got ticket #142, he told me that some people slept out all night there!!

My friend planned on buying a case. Two of those bottles had my name on it.

All was not lost. He went to Bissell Brothers instead and grabbed me a four pack of Lux.

Maine Beer Co's Beer I and Beer II experimental IPA's

I was the crisper, more classically floral forward IPA to my palate

II built on I's floral start and added some mild/moderate juicy dankness underneath and towards the finish

Both are quite good!!

Got III and IV in line soon! :beer:

Scored a trifecta of Night Shift Brewing today. That combined with some Iron Mike should make for a great weekend! Happy National Beer Day!

Trillium Summer Street IPA - This is the "juiciest" up-front IPA I've tried to date!! Golden orange color in the glass, distinct orange with a touch of grapefruit aroma.

Plenty of orange and grapefruit flavor at the start tapering to a moderate resiny finish that is a solid sweet/ bitter balance that really works for my taste preferences!

Trillium is proving to me that they can hang with Treehouse in the running for best brewery in MA with some world class offerings! :beer:

This last bottle has been staring at me in the fridge for three weeks. Was going to save and enjoy with a couple of beer geek friends, but can't figure out a date in the next month. Given a bottle date of 2/12, it was time to drink. Still damn good on 4/15

No a trendy new beer, but a solid old favorite. Gearys HSA. Love the can as well.

Picked up a 12 of Foundation Epiphany DIPA and 12 of their Afterglow IPA while in Portland today. $99.32 for the case. So, 20% of my Peaks pass price for next season. :lol:

Currently enjoying the Afterglow. Really nice. A little light on the hops. Drinks more like a session IPA.

Gotta love the 7-11/VT State Liquor Store on route 100 a few miles South of Mount Snow! :beer:
