Question 1: What is your all Maine brewery dream team-up? And why?
This is my Bangor-selfish Collab: I would like to see Geaghan’s team up with Allagash to create an Andrew-Rob Belgian-style IPA. Given Geaghan’s obvious drinkability in their brews, and Allagash’s real command of the Belgian style, I think they’d produce a wonderfully drinkable, food-friendly (it is for a pub, after all) beer that I’d selfishly love to grab one or three of next time I’m chowing down on Special Reserve wings.
Question 2: What would your Maine + U.S Brewery Team-up look like?
I’d like to see Ommegang (an old fave) team up with Oxbow and craft a saison style beer that could be in regular production for Ommegang…Oxbow does a fantastic job, and Ommegang needs that sort of beer in their line-up.
Question 3: What would your Maine + International Brewery team up look like?
I’d love to see Weihenstephaner come and give some lager-love to Maine through a collab with Baxter. Baxter has shown proficiency in fairly large-scale canning of drinkable brews, and for them to learn from one of the best would benefit all of us canned-beer lovers, especially with summer on the way.
Question 4: Free for all! Anything goes here as long as there is 1 Maine brewery involved.
I’d like to see Rising Tide join up with Pretty Things (husband and wife teams) for a Valentine’s Day brew to celebrate the good, the bad, and the reconciliation inherent in a workplace/home. Two awesome breweries that haven’t made a beer I don’t enjoy. Maybe include rose in it or something…
