Rising Tide – Polaris

Sitting in the Newark airport, waiting for a delayed flight on a cold and drizzly day, I stared out the window and lamented what I was missing. Rising Tide, one of my favorite Maine breweries was offering a limited release of my favorite beer of theirs after aging it in bourbon barrels. Though I couldn’t think of much else that I’d rather be doing than sipping a satisfying craft beer, I was stuck. I was sure that by the time I returned home from my business trip that there would be none left for me.

Throwback Brewery – Fat Alberta

Throwback Brewery – Fat Alberta

I first met the ladies of Throwback brewing this summer while writing up a very short piece on NH’s newest brewery. Throwback Brewing has the unique focus of being a “throw back” to the times when brewers used whatever ingredients the could find around them, and made their beer with care. This modern North Hampton, NH brewery aims to have all of its ingredients eventually locally sourced – a bit of a feat in New England. Their debut beers were a hit, but when I first went out to meet them I got a taste of something really special -a chocolate peanut butter beer – and it blew me away.

Launch A Brewery: Bemidji Brewing Company

For this Feature Friday, I transport you to Bemidji (buh-midge-ee) Minnesota for a planned brewery that’s more than just a great way to get rid of pesky tiles in scrabble (were proper names actually allowed to be played). The Bemidji Brewing Company (BBC) aims to put a dent in the low breweries-per-capita statistic for their state and bring great craft beer to Northern Minnesota.

Sebago – Slick Nick

For the last few years, Portland, ME based brewer Kai Adams of Sebago Brewing company gets on the radio and announces the arrival of Slick Nick, their winter seasonal brew. And at that moment, I am often happy that the beer has come back, but also feel a twinge of sadness about the true end of fall and the inevitable beginning a long winter ahead. However, hearing Kai’s voice assure me that this beer will be around to keep me company during the long winter months is a consoling thought.

Beer to Bring to Thanksgiving Dinner: Local Edition

I am happy to see an uptick this year in the number of posts featuring craft beer and Thanksgiving. For the last four years I’ve been urging folks to bring beer not only that pair well with the thankgiving meal items, but also ones that families may embrace, enve if they are not as fanatuic about craft beer as you are. I’m really happy to see that craft beer is slowly but surely earning its place at the Thanksgiving table.
