ew England winter is something that can only be understood by experiencing it. This, of course, was something I didn’t know when I moved here as a naive Midwesterner. As I approach my tenth winter here, I have learned that the basic lessons of surviving winter in New England also apply to winter running.
Be prepared. Getting dressed for winter running can feel like it’s own workout. Having the right gear, though, can be the difference between a comfortable run and an unbearable one. Consider investing in a waterproof jacket, footwear with solid traction (or a traction product), and high visibility gear in addition to a tech base layer, tights, gloves and headwear. Tough it out together. Even after getting all layered up it can be tough to make it out the door, especially in the cold and dark hours before or after work. Having a reliable running buddy or a year-round

running group can provide the extra motivation needed in the less appealing winter running conditions. Two great group options include Old Port Pub Run in Portland (oldportpubrun.wordpress.com) and the SIX03 Endurance Pub Runs in New Hampshire (six03endurance.com/pub-runs).
Get creative. For runners who normally train on trails, the first snow fall or ice storm might mean moving their mileage to the roads, but it doesn’t have to. In true New England fashion, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the trails in the snow. There are several snowshoe and winter

racing series that can add a fun twist to winter training. Check out the Granite State Snowshoe Series (granitestatesnowshoeseries. org) or Baxter Outdoor’s Packed Powder Series (www.baxteroutdoors.com/ packedpowderseries.html).
Adapt. This is perhaps the most important lesson for surviving winter in New England. There will be days where the road or weather conditions require a change of plans. Being prepared to adapt a workout to the treadmill or shift around your training schedule is essential.

ou may be surprised when I say Winter is my favorite time of the year. It’s the season of warm layers, bountifully beautiful snow, and very short days. Winter is also post-pumpkin beer season, which frees the shelf space and tap lines for a wide variety of heart warming darker beers.

12 winter/spring | 2015-2016
Fall is a time of artificial flavored beers, but more importantly malt-forward styles as well. I’m always a big fan of hopping everything under the sun but sometimes I forget about beers like Marzens, Octoberfests, and even brown ales until the fall comes. Winter continues the sweeter and darker times with stouts and porters. Something about the cold weather and the holiday cheer makes me want to imbibe. Although I don’t gravitate towards any style in general. In fact, I drink what is local, available, and what I’m in the mood for at the time. Maine has so many breweries to choose from now that we are spoiled by the quality and variety. I can fill this whole magazine with segments of each Maine brewery, their awesome beers you can drink in the winter, and where you can find them. Instead, I’ve chosen
5 of my favorites right now to highlight. If you talk to me next week those 5 may change.
Biddeford/Saco In the old mill buildings in Biddeford and Saco are a brewery and a brewpub that are right around the corner from each other. One is Banded Horn Brewing Company and the other is Run Of The Mill Pub. Banded Horn has been brewing beer for just over a year now and has been making a splash in the beer scene in Maine. They brew a very nice traditional German Pilsner called Pepperell Pilsner, named after the building they are located in. Run Of The Mill has been in operation for a bit longer than Banded Horn and makes some of the best pub style food that I’ve ever tried. Their Bug Lager is brewed year-round and pairs perfectly with their cuisine. The brewpub is located right over the Saco River, which is
THE

the perfect view during the summer on Run Of The Mill’s outside deck. Nestled amongst the mill buildings in Biddeford, Banded Horn has a collection of beers that will really surprise you. Their Pepperell Pilsner, Luminaire Lager & Veridian IPA are great staples to their year-round core selection. But this winter you can catch their Norweald Stout and their Daikaiju IPA are some of my favorite beers of those styles. The Daikaiju is the right balance of intense IPA bitterness with a ton of fruit and citrus flavors. Overall, Banded Horn never disappoints.
Portland You’re favorite brewpub Sebago Brewing Company makes great beers all winter long. My fridge always has at least a few cans of fresh Frye’s Leap IPA ready to drink. We were very lucky in the fall to enjoy Sebago’s Hop Swap, Local Harvest & Bonfire Rye. Bonfire Rye has to be one of my favorite rye-based beers on the shelves. The bitterness of the rye is balanced by the abundance of malt. But after fresh hop season is over and the leave have fallen, Sebago is just getting started for the winter. Their Slick Nick
Long Winter Ale has been reformulated to be stronger and even more smooth as the previous versions. It’s a smooth and warming winter seasonal that’s not too sweet. I love the flavors of Slick Nick so much that I love using it to cook with. Soon you’ll find the annual Barleywine available on shelves and taps from Sebago. This has to be my favorite beer they brew because every year it keeps getting better. They age it for a year in barrels that give a bourbon and sweet vanilla flavor. The boozy notes are balanced by the sweetness. Get the Whistle Punk 4 pack cans while available. It has an abundance of tropical fruit, citrus and pine aroma and flavor from the great hop blend. Big juicy American hops burst from this unfiltered Double IPA. It will be released several times throughout the year. If you’re ever stuck in Kennebunk, Portland, Gorham, or Scarborough in a snowstorm, a Sebago Brewpub is a great place to hunker down and enjoy a beer or two. The Liquid Riot Bottling Company, a brewpub/distillery located in the heart of downtown, is one of the best kept secrets in Portland. They serve only their own

Charlie Melhus stand behind the newly refinished bar in their tasting and tap room of Norway Brewing Company schedule to open in early 2016.
14 winter/spring | 2015-2016
Just a quick left turn off of route 26 is Western Maine’s newest brewery, Norway Brewing Company. It is located in a historic building at 237 Main Street in Norway. Due to open in January 2016 the brewery is owned and operated by the Melhus family who have roots in northern Norway (the country!). Norway Brewing Company's style comes from a mix of influences: Scandinavian design, European brewing, food culture and New England’s robust lifestyle to mention a few. Head brewer, Charlie Magne Melhus, with designer and beer connoisseur Erika Melhus, have teamed up to bring their Norwegian heritage and brewing experience back to their favorite community. In the taproom, you can enjoy a variety of brews ranging from an easy drinking session ale to an oatmeal stout brewed with coffee, to hop-heavy IPAs. Plans are also in the works for a series of farmhouse and wild beers, barrel aging, and collabs with some of their friends both across the Atlantic and at home. In a past life, Charlie was a chef and he brings all of his favorites to the table: house ground sliders and sausage, home-made ramen and cheddar maple french toast are just a few of the items on this simple but tasty menu of pub favorites and family recipes. Less than an hour away from Western Maine’s ski resorts and in the neighborhood of countless local snowshoe, fatbike & cross county ski trails, Norway Brewing Company is a perfect winter stop for a pint and a bite, or a growler of craft-brewed goodness to take home!
