Came home to this. Me and
@paulmaybee brewed a flanders red on Monday and it must have exploded while I was gone. Luckily I had a garbage bag overtop of it to protect it from any sunlight so it didn't make much of a mess. I guess I might have to make a dedicated sour blow off tube, since I didn't want to contaminate the one I use for my clean beers.
Had to do a shot of all the loot. Very happy with what I was able to find (my wallet isn't). My advice for anyone that makes their way down there is to hit up Maine Brewing Supply first as their selection is smaller but quite a bit cheaper, then hit up Craft Bier Cellar to fill the gaps for anything else.
Maine Beer Co. was definitely one of the highlights from all the breweries I visited. Awesome beer and a cool little spot. I thought it was cool how they run off 50% solar power with a plan to run off 100% in one year.
The Allagash tour was really cool and for anyone that's a fan of sour beers, you'll have to check our their barrel room on the tour (which is free!). Similar to my photo above, we saw a barrel that had exploded the day before from raspberries being added so I guess it even happens to the pros.
Oxbow was another really good visit for anyone thats a fan of sours or farmhouse. They might look at you funny if you don't have a beard, a tight plaid shirt and skinny jeans though.
