Someone loves story time.

Wrapped up the little Maine trip with a visit to Nonesuch River Brewing. Maine was great as usual. Loved being able to see some new breweries along with visiting some old favorites. Maine’s beer scene is easily one of the best in the Northeast.

The Wizard of Oz episode of Scrubs is still one of my favorites.

Trevor Story blows. Have never understood why the Red Sox got him.

Another new to me brewery. Goodfire Brewing in Freeport Maine. I do appreciate when a brewery has a good California Common on tap. They also had an impressive looking food menu, but we had no room left after a big breakfast and a pizza for lunch.

Maine Beer Co. much bigger now, but still one best breweries in the area. Drinking a 7% Belgian Blonde with our pizza. And yes, both are as good as they look.

Started the day at Mast Landing’s Freeport location. Beautiful taproom. Really impressive selection of beers.

Eat the goddamn rich before they destroy everything! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A good breakfast at the Freeport Cafe to start another day of brewery hopping.

One last beer for the day at Novare Res. Ruby by Allagash.

Probably the best poutine I’ve ever had. Duck Fat was a nice little surprise.

Petting an incredibly friendly dog while enjoying a Time and Temp Lager at Lone Pine Brewing.

Roaming Portland

First time visiting Belleflower Brewing. So much to see here in Portland, so little time.

I originally visited Foundation Brewing about 7 months after they opened. Been back several times throughout the years. It’s fun to watch how these breweries have evolved. Mexican Street Corn pizza was incredible.

Snuck into Definitive Brewing right as they opened. Had a 3.5% ABV IPA. Been a good start to the day.

Because it’s what you do in Portland.

I’ve been wanting to get to Sacred Profane since they opened. I finally got up here. Did not disappoint.

Looks like I’ll be in Portland Maine early next week. It’s been too long Portland.

Glad I brought some of this beer home with me. The flavor is incredible. Dank Wizard by Burlington Beer Co.

I forgot the Alchemist wants you to drink from the can and I instinctively poured it into a glass. I’ll drink the next one the right way.

I grew up living with my mother & stepfather. Neither could cook. So we ate bland overcooked food. I went to culinary school and worked 20 years in the food service industry, the kids in this house will never have to complain about bland food.

When everyone goes to sleep, and I don’t have to work tomorrow, I stay up and play video games while drinking beer. Tonight’s beer is Focal Banger from the Alchemist. Their best beer in my opinion.

Duchovni is usually my go to Pilsner, but I could get used to this. Mary from Hill Farmstead.

Concert 5 of 2026. Bronwyn Keith-Hynes at Groton Hill Music Center. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of acts coming to Groton Hill. This was another incredible one. We last saw here her with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway.

I absolutely love this dog.

My May music selections. 3 of these selections I will be seeing live next month.

The only mortal sin is that more breweries aren’t brewing black IPAs. The Alchemist gets it.

Taste in beer really changes. I never used to care for this one. It’s pretty damn good now. Crusher by The Alchemist.

Hey @trem2303.bsky.social, I know this is a little bit of a hike for you, but this is a venue you should definitely check out. We’re going to try and get tickets Friday when they go on sale.

The aroma and taste of this beer is incredible. Arcane Flower from Burlington Beer Company.

The Blue Jays get their players from the 1970’s.

As much as I want to say that GTA is my favorite video game series, I think I’d be lying to myself if I didn’t say Assassin’s Creed is really my favorite.

I wasn’t going to go with a Heady Topper tonight, but it pairs so well with dinner.

Kentucky Common for tonight’s beer. Tree House does many things well, apparently a Kentucky Common is one of them.

Close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades… May I suggest using a hand grenade next time?

Yes! About damn time! It’s a beautiful day!

Probably not the brightest idea for republicans to bring back the firing squad when so many of them are committing treason.

Fleur De Lis Brown ale from Stone Cow Brewing to pair with dinner tonight.

My word this Red Sox team is absolutely terrible. Alex Cora has got to go.

I don’t give a half a shit about the NFL draft. That’s my football post.

Italian Pilsner from Stone Cow since I’m going back to Italy in the video game universe…

🤦🏻‍♂️

Tried to go to Von Trapp Brewing for lunch, but they were closed for “seasonal maintenance”. So Prohibition Pig it is. Monday and Tuesday doesn’t leave a lot of options, so we hit all the regulars

Had to stop on the way home. I’m buying way too much beer, but I can’t drive by the Alchemist.

If you see this post a concert photo you took

Doings the touristy things and getting some cider donuts.

Had to pick up some Ben & Jerry’s merchandise for the kids or they’d never forgive us.
