headed there tomorrow, thanks!

perfect, thank you! I had not realized the proliferation of breweries in Maine was not alongside the relaxation of alcohol regulations overall (clear evidence of my intimate 'industry' relationships!)

Okay, Maine's blue laws suck, don't take it out on me.... I am looking for local or small batch items that may not be so accessible. Is it so unreasonable? To bring something different than what my hosts might otherwise thoughtlessly grab off the shelf at Stompers?

Same as last year, I am separated from my checked bag of boozy goodies, and I'm looking for quality replacements. Failing that, I'll settle for a clerk who might know a little something about the product for sale.

do you want a gold star? send me to the right liquor store

last year I was in Massachusetts, now I am in Maine (in a similar situation)
