I wish I could enjoy a beer....I still have a bit of the cold I got 2 weeks ago....No more congestion, but my throat has been scratchy for a week and my voice is still gone
I just cant seem to shake this one...
I still have most of the beer I brought back from Michigan, plus a bunch from trades with Skylord and a few others just sitting in my fridge, waiting for me to be not-sick.

Which brewer at Smutty? Definitely one of my favorite breweries lately - solid lineup.Portsmouth is a great central location, beerwise. The brewpub does a dynamite job with their beers - good food as well. Great place to spend an evening.You're the man!Wow, I didn't realize that Portsmouth is pretty much an hour away from both portland and boston! I have a friend who brews at Smuttynose - I like that two nights in Portsmouth idea!

Gotta agree w/ nase' suggestions re Portland.noted -thanks!oh, and yes - growlers may only last one day once it's opened... I typically try to finish mine by the next day if I do not polish it after opening.I currently live in Cambridge but have only been here a week or so so I couldn't give you much on that but I am from Maine and live close to Portland. My advice on Portland:Hit up these 3 breweries that are right next to each other (literally walking distance): Allagash, Casco Bay, and DL Geary's. They all do tours on the weekdays. Gearys does it at 2:30 and Allagash at 3. Casco Bay is flexible so I'm guessing that you could either schedule it for 2 or 3:30. I went on the Allagash one and it was nothing special but it was nice to taste some beers at the end.You're the man!
Either before or after these tours, I'd recommend going to the Great Lost Bear as it's a Maine beer landmark and is within 10 mins. driving distance to the breweries. I wouldn't have dinner there though as you could probably find much better cuisine downtown (and it's worth it to go down to "the Old Port"). There are 50+ some odd taps there and the list is kept online and although probably not updated, it'll give you an idea of what they have.
Right down the road is one of the better beer places in town (from what I've read at least) to get beer called RSVP. It's literally right down the road.
Hope that helps.

I'd hit the Bear on the way in for a primer before the beer tours. The Portland Public Market has a place that sells beer, as well as a seafood shop that will sell you a dozen oysters on the half shell to enjoy with a local beer on tap that may be cool for lunch. Hit the three breweries (Casco Bay makes some highly drinkable brews), then hit Old Port afterwards for wandering and eats. Either Sebago or Gritty's are good places food wise - not haute cuisine, but solid brewpub food. There are also outstanding restaurants all over the place if you want a break from beer (GAAAH!).If you want to hit the most places in a day, I highly recommend some serious prep work on BA to figure out what one or two beers you want to try at a given location, and then try and keep a disciplined eye on the clock and the itinerary; otherwise you'll fall into the "McNeill's Trap" as my friend calls it and spend too much time at one place. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

Jolly Pumpkin is everywhere around here and I haven't seen reserves or Firefly. I will watch for them though.Whats beers do you still have around that I sent?

You said you wouldn't say anything. I'm not one of the random.

Not sure. I asume it's new because the Fresno bevmo didn't have it before, and my buddy called me yesterday and said they had some in. Thanks for the advice though.If it's the 06, drink one and age whatever else you pick up. It's a little "green".Finishing off my Sam Adams beers tonight. Will be getting some Stone Vertical Epic for this weekend.

did you get called?Me too. As if I needed a reason.I'll drink to that.It is. Except for Tuesday night when I got a little drunk and I was oncall.You say that like it's good thing.
Fortunately it was something I could put off. Imagine I sounded real nice on the phone. Drunk fat tongue.Was excited at the prospect of hitting up either Bukowski's in Cambridge or the Kinsale Irish Pub after work. Instead, I decided to be "social" and go where the other interns were going...
Meet: Tia's on the Waterfront. Ahorribly overpriced and no personality bar near the downtown Boston waterfront. Best options on tap were Widmer Bros. Hefe and Stella. Best option in bottle was....Heineken??? $20 for 3 drinks (one for a friend), disliked both beers (it's amazing how much my tastes have developed just in the last month as I'm sure I've had these beers before and thought they were decent), and can't even make up for it with the Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout in my fridge as I have to type a paper tonight.
And my roommates went to some 80s cover night with some ladies a little while ago...

Boddington's was an early favorite of mine. There will always be a soft spot in my heart for that beer. Saw it the other day. The four pack looked lonely. I wanted to comfort it. Let it know it was wanted. And drink it too.......I'm not a sicko after all.

That should read:"C) I haven't found the right stout to introduce me to the style."
