Looks like it was cancelled. They must not have been getting a very good response.

I know the amount of spam they sent over the past two years made me block their emails. People are probably still a little iffy about being jammed inside with a bunch of drunks. I know I'd rather be outside in June.

FCBF

Is this still on?
I know this is slated for the weekend of June 17-18 this year.
Does any one know if this got cancelled?

Thanks

Been brewing a couple times a year. Just bought a SS fermenter so I'm keen to try that out. I've been using the same plastic bucket for many years now and the handles were starting to break off, so it was time to upgrade!

Dito.. I also finally splurged on a SS Brewtech stainless fermenter and ditched the plastic... All i need now is some free time to brew

Craft Beer Reviews / Re: best beer store in Maine?

« Last post by pliny on April 20, 2022, 11:10:10 AM »

Made it to Hogan Road Deli. I think I hadn't been there in at least 10 years. They still have a respectable selection - especially if you have passengers that are not exactly on the same page as you and you need to make some quick decisions. I had a nice wrap as well. Glad they're still around doing their thing.

These days, there are so many beers, it really boggles the mind - however, it may just be me. I don't really need that much. It seems like I used to walk into a store and drop like $200+ on craft beer without batting an eye. I've throttled back, and don't get everything I want. Although there are a few more four and six packs that I could've gotten...

Recently I've been to a few of these gas station/mini-grocery/craft beer stores. They really crack me up. I was in this store in Mid-Coast Maine the other days and looking at Rogue, Left Hand, Lone Pine, Maine Beer Company, Baxter and many, many others amidst cans of sardines, dry pasta and Fritos - it was awesome.

Yeah he told me he was retired as of January. That's why I was trying to get enough people together to justify him doing one more refill for us...
