The IPA Wars Heat Up

Gritty strayed from that mainstream brown-red-pale good but not great beer production with the 21 IPA, not Dogfish Head 90 minute but a more assertive IPA offering than we had locally. Sebago trumped Gritty with the marvelous (although significantly more expensive) Full Throttle. The IPA war is on!

Portland Psstand Portland Food Map both reported a Twitter feed (whatever the hell twitter is) that indicated the Farmer's Table had opened in the former Mim's location, on Commercial Street. But the missed the big news on the Twitter yammer: Peak Organic has entered the IPA war! Their brew is supposed to be available at GLB and $3 Deweys. I'll explore and report back. I suffer so you can enjoy!

Hey Pete,

Jenelle told me to read your blog when she was visiting this weekend. I enjoyed it and reading makes me miss gearys and old thumper. One suggestion is if you ever wander down to Portsmouth, Check out the portsmouth brewery. They have a wheatwine that is brewed inhouse, and I remember it fondly (although fuzzily). Hope all is well in Maine.
