The Best Beer Bargain in Maine

And maybe the best beer, period: bomber bottles of Sebago's magnificent Full Throttle double IPA are $3.49 at RSVP.

I've always thought of Sebago as middle of the pack amongst the local brewers. The browns, reds and pales run together. Their light option panders to the lowest common denominator of pseudo beer drinkers, and the mall location (since moved) screamed of Chuckie Cheese and Linens 'n Things. But I was wrong (yes, that happened once before--in the seventies): this is an absolutely terrific beer. It more than holds its own with others (more expensive) in the same class. I prefer it to Rogue's Yellow Snow and Stone's Ruination. It is a much better beer than Victory's Hop Devil.

Cheers, Sebago! You've hit a home run.
