I worked at the first brewpub in Houston, and we would literally have people walk out since we didn’t have Bud (or whatever) rather than drink one of our beers. People are/can be, interesting.

I never understood why someone would visit a brew-pub and not expect to drink pub-brewed beer. It breaks my heart when I see brew-pubs selling the likes of Bud or Miller Lites because they feel they "have to." “Not good for business, but….”

I love that place. If you can, let us know what you find of Bar Harbor brewing co. I know that Atlantic Brewing co. is there and kicking out lots of beers-even to Chicago. But Bar Harbor (now I believe recently sold by Tod and Suzi Foster) was awesome. Their tiny "farmhouse" brewery in the basement of their house really was a catalyst in helping me jump into the world of craft brewing. I hope the beers are still in Bar Harbor and tasting good. stan, enjoy acadia NP. I love that place. If you can, let us know what you find of Bar Harbor brewing co.

Huge selection on tap and in bottles. While we were chatting with his beer buyer he asked the bartender "Has anyone asked for a Budweiser yet?" The bartender, a pretty intimidating guy, didn't take his eyes off his task of cleaning glasses and just shook his head. I really would like to see the first person who asked for a Bud.

Just left Allagash (only the 4th brewery stop of our travels) and stopped at Exit 17 to see the giant globe. We are bound for Acadia National - and I'm not sure I'll have Internet access rest of the week. From there east to Nova Scotia, but passing back through Maine in 10 days or two weeks. Love to meet up with you, but we'll have to work on logistics. Drop me an email (stan@ the website). Matt, Jason – Thanks for the offer.

He and I are both in Portland, and both members of the Maine Beer Writers Guild (www.mainebeerwriters.org). We'd love to meet you (and have a beer or two with you) if you're headed to the Casco Bay region. If you're still going to be in Maine next week, the Guild is planning a meeting and would love to have you as an honored guest. Heh…looks like Luke beat me to asking you where you were.
