Thats awesome that they have Maine Beer Co now. Zoe and Lunch are 2 of my favorites. MO and Pepper are great too. Have a mean ol tom in the cellar.Cale wrote:Saw some Eclipse at Premier but find it impossible to justify the price. People think the GLB stout is bad!

@ Cole's today:
Founders Imp. Stout
Ithaca Flower Power
Firestone Walker Union Jack
Dogfish Head My Antonia
and brought home:
case of Lagunitas Sucks
a bunch of Maine Beer Co.
Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break that the guy at Premier was reluctant to give me, due to only getting a case - this one has been near the top of list of beers-to-try for a while and I was grinning like an idiot when I got it
many others
No duty again - think it's been about a year since the last time we paid. Not sure what our secret is.
Really happy to see Maine Beer Co. and have easy access to Victory at Sea. Buffalo trips have been getting better and better.
Currently having a Zoe from Maine Beer Co. Delicious. I hope we get their MO and Lunch.

Maine Beer is in Buffalo now???? It seems like something great is added to distribution in WNY every week these days...Cale wrote:

I've wanted to try Lunch for a long time, so hopefully that does show up some time soon.
As for the Eclipse, yeah I agree the price is extremely high. The Buffalo Trace was one of my least favourite of the 5 or 6 I've tried so far ... which makes me wonder if there is something about Buffalo Trace barrels that doesn't appeal to me as much as other barrels.
Yeah, grabbed some Peeper and King Titus here yesterday. They've already sold out of the Zoe and they've got some Mean Old Tom on the shelves still.TheSevenDuffs wrote:Maine Beer is in Buffalo now???? It seems like something great is added to distribution in WNY every week these days...Cale wrote:

Agreed.TheSevenDuffs wrote:Maine Beer is in Buffalo now???? It seems like something great is added to distribution in WNY every week these days...
Buffalo currently has Zoe, Peeper, Mean Old Tom, and King Titus. They had everything but the Zoe at Premier, not sure if they sold out or hadn't restocked yet, but there was plenty(ish) of everything at Consumers (where I got my Zoe) and I imagine the VBMs have some as well.

I grabbed mine at the Elmwood location, but as SevenDuffs said they're likely at other locations as well. Might be a good idea to call around. I didn't go to the Elmwood VBM this time like I usually do, but they reported getting it in as well.
Had a Peeper Ale in the late afternoon and having a Flower Power while I make dinner.
