Whats more canoe related than a microbrewery?

[yellowcanoe]

Next time you are at the N Conway end of the Saco, stop in at Fryeburg's Saco River Brewery.

Nice stop on a dreary afternoon today!

That's what the world needs, more good beer.

and friendly conversations over good beer

We have feet up, the Pats game on and cracked a growler of Old Course Porter. They only sell on site or in growlers. No cans or bottling facility.

Pats and Long Trail Double Bag for another win

There's also these guys out of Duluth: http://www.bentpaddlebrewing.com/

Their beer tastes awful but don't take my word for it; I think all beer tastes awful. My friends like it.

How could you go wrong with Barrel Aged

I love labels, almost as much as I love beer. I bet I'm not the only one. I'm pretty sure the industry knows this.
My favourite "canoe beer" remains:

Very good beer. I love the image of the Flying Canoe (La Chasse-Galerie) on the label.

Maudite alas is only in 22 oz bottles in our stores
Potent enough to make me fall asleep
Good but with all the brews around just middling

 

[Odyssey]

Whoa! 22 oz is small change for you? You're my kind of girl!! (Just kidding YC)

Yup, there's a lot of selection out there; not all of it available locally though.
I'm pretty happy with the regional brews, but not many with canoe labels here.

 

[yellowcanoe]

No I meant the only available size is 22 oz. it used to come in 6 355 ml bottles
22 oz puts me in a coma

 

[Odyssey]

Oh I see YC. Sorry. I agree some beer bottles are overly large. Not sure why they do that.

I'm with Alan. Can't get the stuff past my nose.

You want stinky beer? This is delicious if you can get it past your nose. The name says it all

Beer glasses are underly small

I've had a bottle of that many years ago and still looking for another.

I found it at Ebenezers in Lowell a few years ago.. UFO Area 51 ( a division of a Shop and Save that is devoted to beer and wine in abundance) in Naples ME has it too. So does the Good Beer Store in Fryeburg..

Do you have kind of an uppity beer store in your area?

 

[TheIndian]

Did someone say "Maudite?"
Coldfeet introduced that to me up on the Cold River once.
Now that's a beer that'll put hair on yer keel
A must-have in my fridge these days.

 

[sweeper]

Thanks but I was an Army Recruiter in Lowell, in the 80's and not sure I want to relive any part of that city.

Naples is where I found it. I do have a good beer shop and I like to push them with things they don't have, so I'll give that a try. Thanks for reminding me about OEO.

I have uppity beer stores, even out in the ruburbs. Finding good bourbon to decant into the tripping flask remains 40 mile drive problematic.

Newest favorite, not even a single barrel, is Barterhouse Orphan Barrel. Expertly blended, 20 years old, 90.2 proof, dangerously smooth as silk. A bourbon loving sister in law left a bottle for me to enjoy after Thanksgiving.

$90-$125 a bottle? dang, back to Knob Creek (spells “Bonk” backwards, and I’ve been Bonked), or Blanton’s if I’m feeling flush.

Never been to a nano-, micro-, midi- or macro-brewery, but I prefer my ceiling-hung canoe and beer to be white birch.
