The Great
COVID Compromise As everybody is all too well aware, COVID-19 upended many of us this year, particularly in the publishing fields. While Maine Brew & Bev Guide and Activities Guide were unable to put out a physical issue in the spring/summer, we have been working on new digital models to adapt to the current situation, and have pushed forward with our fall issue. As Mainers, if we do our part by following the guidelines recommended by CDC and mandated by local businesses, we can safely continue to enjoy what we love to do and support businesses through our own state's steady economic recovery. Breweries, restaurants and tasting rooms have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic—and yet, people who live here and come to visit want to experience them the most. So what can we do to help them out? Maine is now requiring a statewide mask mandate. No matter what differing opinions are, it is respectful to every business to wear our masks, physically distance, sanitize and mind proper hygiene. Most importantly, these are real people under real duress. Have patience when going out, practice compliance with guidelines and have compassion for the employees and we all reap the benefits, namely getting back to enjoying the fun, relaxing experience of trying new beers, ciders, spirits and meads! Everybody is doing what they can to stay afloat as we head into an uncertain fall; which is why we launched a special campaign this October— #keepourspiritsupmaine. Throughout our 36 years in the business, we have always supported our breweries and distilleries, brew stores and ancillary businesses and we're not about to stop now. So, stick with us, like and follow our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages and let's all find ways to keep our spirits up. Because we're Mainers—we can get through anything! — Stanley J. Rintz, Publisher

Maine’s Women in Beer
By Matthew Brown
Moderation Brewing sits unassumingly on Main Street in Brunswick. If you weren’t looking for it, you’d likely miss it driving towards the Frank J. Wood Bridge on Route 201 from Bowdoin College. I paid the brewery a visit during off-hours to meet a demographic that is sometimes overlooked in the world of brewing – women. Female brewers and brew aficionados have had a meaningful impact in the craft landscape here in Maine, and the Pink Boots Society offers them an opportunity for intellectual advancement, networking, and a place to share their passion in the world of beer. 8

The RUN OF THE MILL and THE LIBERAL CUP bring the comfortable, inviting atmosphere of English style pubs to Maine. Housed by a sprawling mill building in Saco, ‘The Mill’ offers ample indoor and (seasonal) outdoor seating with views overlooking the Saco River and the up-and-coming mill district. Smaller and more intimate than its southern counterpart, ‘The Cup’ is located in the heart of Hallowell- a vibrant, historic town. Both feature hand-crafted beer and home-style food surrounded by distinctive architecture and old world charm in rustic brick & mortar structures. Our pub style menus feature an array of lighter fare, hearty entrees and creative specials made from fresh, local ingredients. To wash it all down, we use the finest malts and hops to create 25 varieties of craft beer which flow directly from our in-house breweries.

beer mussels
Local Restaurants Spice Up the Culinary Arts with Maine Craft Beer Text Photos By Dave Patterson
Beer is food. It sounds strange, but it’s true. In fact, beer and bread were invented concurrently when humans pivoted from being a hunting and gathering bunch to an agrarian people cultivating cereal grains. Lore has it that the first beer was “brewed” by mistake when an Egyptian peasant left a clay pot filled with grains out in a rainstorm. The grains got soaked, wild yeast settled in the mixture and fermented the sugars from the grains, and our unwitting peasant got buzzed one morning off hard oatmeal. 12
fall 2020
For centuries, beer remained in this gruel form that I imagine ancient beer writers described as “chewy” and “fullbodied.” Though beer has come a long way from its humble serf beginnings, in foodie cities such as Portland, it hasn’t veered far from the culinary world. Beer dinners at esteemed restaurants commonly match local ales with delicate cuisine. It’s only fitting that chefs have been using beer as an ingredient in their recipes for years, bringing beer back to its earliest roots as sustenance. In Portland, the acclaimed restaurant Terlingua uses Ishmael, a copper ale from RISING TIDE BREWING COMPANY, in their short rib glaze. In western Maine, OXBOW BREWING includes fresh beer in a number of recipes at their Beer Garden, including a sourdough culture

infused with their signature farmhouse yeast. One brewery leading the way in the mashup of zymurgy and the culinary arts is ALLAGASH BREWING COMPANY. From beer cheese to beer-battered fish, their world-class witbier, Allagash White, shows off its versatility in a number of recipes at local restaurants. When asked why chefs are drawn to using White in their recipes, brewmaster, Jason Perkins, explained, “We can't say for certain, but there's probably something to the fact that Allagash White just pairs really nicely with a lot of different foods like burgers, oysters, fish and chips, and lobster. So it's not a huge leap to go from pairing the beer with something like mussels, to just cooking with it as an ingredient.” The most intriguing use of Allagash White for my palate is its common use in broth for mussels and steamers at Maine restaurants. On a cold evening, I set out with a deep hunger for beersoaked Maine mussels. The TUSCAN TABLE on the Maine Mall campus in South Portland boasts an unassuming locale for the toothsome menu and stunning décor hidden inside its walls. The chefs at the Tuscan Table use Allagash White in the creamy broth covering fresh Maine mussels. When the bartender slides a bowl of mussels and crusty bread along with a pint of Allagash White in front of me, my response is Pavlovian. Easing a tender steamer from its shell and smothering it in broth, I’m first hit with spicy notes of pepper and briny cream. The second wave of flavor has swaths of lemon and garlic, finally settling on those quintessential notes of coriander from the Allagash White. Following this up with a quaff from my cold pint of White is divine. The recipe is simple, yet the flavors are complex and striking—which is how I’d describe Allagash White itself. So raise a glass—and a fork—to the movement of bringing beer back to its nosh roots as local chefs reach for Maine beer to liven up their recipes.

When you shop for beer at RSVP DISCOUNT BEVERAGE, on Forest Avenue in Portland, you’re immediately struck by two things: RSVP’s overall beer selection and their CHILLED beer selection. RSVP has filled the entire side wall with beers and added 19 beer coolers to the back wall of the retail store.

great falls on the rise By John Breerwood
After all that social distancing, we all could use a beer and an excursion. Luckily, Maine has ample opportunities for both. Regardless if we’re headed for a misty mountain or a breezy beach, everyone is driven to experience something real in this state, and the Lewiston-Auburn (L/A) area is as “real” as it gets.

In Memoriam for Eben Dingman March 12, 1984 – December 13, 2019 Here at the Maine Brew & Beverage Guide, we would like to honor and remember the co-founder of Bear Bones Beer, Eben Dingman who tragically died from an automobile accident in 2019. Originally from Turner, Maine, Eben was a talented brewer, a dog rescuer, an English teacher in Mexico, and a social justice advocate. Though I didn’t know Eben very well personally, I was fortunate to have had interviewed him for a previous article at the Bridgton location of Bear Bones Beer. In that short time, Eben’s uncanny knowledge and passion for the craft became evident, as did his genuine and compassionate nature. Friends remember him for his leadership, devotion, and creativity. Eben’s business partner and best friend Adam Tuuri said, “He was one the most independently-minded persons I’ve ever known. Bear Bones Beer wouldn’t be anything without his imagination and unique way of thinking. That’s his biggest legacy, being innovative, thoughtful, and inspired.”

TUMBLEDOWN BREWING is located in the Eastside Mall on Farmington Falls Road just outside of town. This small but mighty brewery is pouring beers ranging from the easy-drinking Clearwater Cream Ale, a super smooth and creamy, light hybrid beer to the peaty Dog Star Smoked Stout. While they brew a wide variety of styles and continuously experiment with new recipes, here are a few of our favorites that we recommend this fall and winter: Cranberry ThoughtBridge Berliner Weisse, brewed just in time for Thanksgiving, and Dawn Patrol Coffee Porter, brewed with a healthy dose of locally roasted coffee, delights with flavors of chocolate and roasted malts and a smooth hop finish. Watch for Bull Horse Black, their powerful Double Black IPA, to reappear for Black Friday too. They are currently only offering outdoor seating, but hey-we're rugged Mainers, so cozy up to the outdoor fireplaces and enjoy a cold one. In the winter, they are accessible by area snowmobile trails, so you can park and ride right from their large parking lot.

Here is a just a sample of recent popular out-of-state arrivals appearing in craft beverage stores around Maine: • Other Half - Brooklyn, NY • Dancing Gnome - Pittsburgh, PA • Equilibrium - Middletown, NY • Finback - Queens, NYC • Aslin - Alexandria & Herndon, VA On top of that, limited Maine beer releases typically picked up at breweries, (if they are not sold out) such as Saco River Brewing's Ancient Galaxy, are showing up on the shelves of local craft beer and beverage stores We interviewed several owners and managers of craft beverage stores around Maine, and one distributor, to learn about their unique perspectives on this trend with our readership. "With COVID-19 changing all of our lives in countless ways, it is not surprising that it has also affected the craft beer industry,” said Dave Makson, manager of Damon's Beverage & Redemption with five stores in Central Maine. “From aluminum shortages to breweries and tap rooms being

limited or closed altogether, the landscape of our industry moves almost daily. That being said, one positive aspect is that customers are able to find a rare variety of products in their local Damon's that they have never seen before, and may never see again." “Perhaps the only thing we can trust in and count on, nowadays, is that the craft beer industry has, and will continue, to put out great beers,” said Michael Moody, beer manager of JD'S Package Store, East Waterboro, ME. “And not only are we in this together, but most importantly— united we stand, divided we fall—so stand together and shop locally.” "We have found that with the pandemic, craft beer drinkers have changed how they shop,” said Jason Perkins Owner of Perk's Beer & Beverage Scarborough, ME. “Social media is a powerful tool, now more than ever,” he continued. “Our customers watch our Instagram closely for all the latest arrivals. Along with in-store purchases, our customers can shop on our website, for curbside or delivery. It's important to provide as many shopping options as possible." "People are having more fun choosing beer because there are so many great choices out there,” said Amy Gates owner of Tully's Beer & Wine Wells, Me. “Since all our beers are available as singles, people have a chance to sample a greater variety,” she said. “Two weeks ago, we put in 20 new beers on our shelves and it's off-season, which has never happened before." "This is a huge benefit for craft beer consumers,” echoed Tim Wissemann, owner of Mariner Beverages, Portland, ME. “It’s also beneficial to breweries that see an immediate return on their investment to getting their product out in new markets, but who weren’t sure how sustainable it was for the industry in the long term." Maine's craft beverage retailers are in a great position to build relationships with customers by answering questions and giving recommendations based on each customer's tasting experience. Each interaction along the consumer's journey helps to build knowledge and trust, which keeps them coming back. It’s clear that this trend is sticking around and although sustainability may be a long-term question, shopping locally is helping our economy right now.
