You are one of the lucky ones. There were some serious infection issues with this recent batch.

I had some very fresh cans in early Feb. I was expecting a sugary mess, but found it was extremely well executed for an 11% DIPA.

I wasn't complaining, this was smooth schnapps flavour!

picked up a couple of kegs for march madness. 20L of GLB Thrust only lasted 8 days. 30L of Amsterdam Fracture is going to take a little longer, mostly because I'm trying to avoid pouring pints. Waiting on a couple kegs to carbonate, so I'm doing a 50/50 blend of my undercarbonated Homosexual IBU Hopefest Circle Jerk Brett IPA with Fracture... ends up around 8%, tames the brett a little, but oh so tasty. Dangerous when you've got 6 taps and the lightest is at 7%...

New to Alberta:

Maine Beer Co. "MO"

Maine Beer Co. "ZOE"

Maine Beer Co. "WEEZ"

Just arrived in Alberta, and all bottled early to mid February 2014.

All 3 are lovely drops!!

Have only had Mo and Zoe, both were great IMO

A can of Thrust! and a forgotten bottle of homebrewed American Amber that has held up well in my cold cellar

Lucky! I'd love anything from the Maine Beer Co. in Ontario. I go down there many years and that's the one brewery I miss when I come back home.

I was a little underwhelmed by Maine when I went there. Everything was good, but it wasn't as great as I was expecting based on reviews. Lunch, in particular, left me wanting more. Still delicious though.

King Titus, their porter, was the standout for me. I loved it.

Never been to the brewery. The last time I was in Maine this brewery didn't exist; in fact, the guys weren't even home brewing the last time I visited Maine!

All 3 beers I had tasted amazingly bright & fresh. Off to buy more bottles tonight as we only received one mixed pallet into Alberta!

One of the top breweries in the northeast, for sure.

That's awesome! I would have never guessed that they would show up in AB. As it is, their US distribution is fairly thin.

Torontoblue · Post by **Torontoblue** » Wed Apr 02, 2014 11:20 am

We only received one pallet of 70 cases, mixed between the 4 beers of MO, ZOE, WEEZ, & ANOTHER ONE.

Not sure when, or if we'll get anymore.

Always love reading the BA threads where people moan over how overpriced Maine beers are.
