Sometimes the hardest beers to get are the ones that say the least.

No neon cans.
No exploding fruit smoothie names.
No twelve paragraph hop breakdowns.

Just Maine Beer Company quietly making some of the best beer in the country while the rest of us fight over a single case allocation.

And when we say limited… we mean LIMITED.

We’re currently allocated ONE case a week.
That’s basically one bottle per person before Blackbeard starts hiding them from the us.

Straight out of Freeport, Maine:



Lunch
The legend for a reason. Orange, papaya, grapefruit, floral hops, and that unmistakable savory edge of onion and garlic that old-school hop heads chase. Firm bitterness, sturdy malt backbone, and ridiculously balanced for how much character it packs in.
ABV: 7.0%

Peeper
Bright peach, orange, lemon, grapefruit, and melon layered over a soft malt backbone. Crisp and refreshing with little flashes of berry and pine that keep it interesting all the way through. Incredibly easy to drink and dangerously easy to finish.
ABV: 5.5%

Woods & Waters
Melon, pineapple, and pink grapefruit up front with soft pine, subtle dankness, and a clean grain sweetness underneath. Bright, crisp, and outdoorsy in the best possible way. Feels like drinking a hiking trip without the sore knees.
ABV: 6.2%

Some beers scream for attention.

Maine Beer Company never really had to.

Cheers!

It’s the first of the month.
Rent’s due. Fridge is empty. Morale is questionable.

…so we fixed it.

Other Half showed up like it always does, loud, hazy, and not here to be reasonable.

These aren’t “grab it next time” beers.
These are “grab it now or think about it later” beers.



Let’s get into it:

All Citra Everything:
Exactly what it sounds like — Citra turned all the way up. Mango, bright citrus, and soft pineapple glide through a pillowy haze. Smooth, juicy, and dangerously easy for the strength.
ABV: 8.5%

Broccoli:
A shop favorite for a reason. Big pineapple, citrus, mango, and white grape wrapped in a creamy, plush body. Smooth, saturated, and drinks softer than it should.
ABV: 7.9%

Chilly Bin:
Tropical chaos in the best way. Peach nectar, apricot, ripe pineapple, and mixed berry notes with a pop of passionfruit. Juicy, expressive, and finishes clean enough to keep you going back.
ABV: 7.2%

DDH Blue Crab:
Mango and pineapple lead with a hit of orange zest to keep things bright. Juicy, fruit-forward, and balanced with just enough bite to keep it honest.
ABV: 6.5%

Green City:
Classic Other Half energy. Citrus, tropical fruit, and a touch of pine with a balanced bitterness. Clean, refreshing, and built for repeat sips.
ABV: 7.0%

Green Flower:
A clean West Coast IPA. Citrus, pine, and subtle stone fruit with a crisp, snappy finish. Bright, balanced, and cuts clean through the haze lineup.
ABV: 7.2%

Proving Ground:
A collaboration with New Trail Brewing! Soft tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of dank intrigue layered into a smooth, plush body. Juicy but controlled, with a clean finish that keeps it dialed in.
ABV: 6.8%

Snaps
Crisp, clean, and here to reset your palate. Floral notes, lemon zest, and a light herbal snap. Easy drinking in the best way.
ABV: 4.5%

First of the month or not…
this is the kind of lineup you don’t overthink.

You just grab it and figure everything else out later.

Cheers!

It’s dangerous to overthink it. Take this.

Claremont Craft Ales x 8 Bit Brewing Co. present The Legend of Citra — a 7.5% hazy IPA built on Citra and Riwaka.

A Hazy IPA forged in golden haze, unleashing a triforce of citrus, mango, and guava with bright tropical melon shining through like a sacred relic. Pillowy and smooth with radiant juice and a soft but mighty bitterness that lingers long after the quest is complete.Juicy enough to save the kingdom.

Some potions are stronger than others.


Cheers!

And yes, that mask.
Handmade years ago by the insanely talented . Still haunting. Still perfect.

Whatever mission you’re on now, we wish you the best. We’re always grateful you left your mark on our world.

It’s raining like Massachusetts out here.

Which feels appropriate… because Trillium showed up.

No fog machine. No dramatic entrance. Just six very serious beers from Canton doing what they do best.

Guys! It's Trillium!


Fort Point
Fresh-cut citrus, underripe pineapple, and soft peach lead the way before a gentle bitterness settles in. There’s a clean malt backbone underneath that keeps everything structured and crisp, finishing dry and refreshing without lingering sweetness. The everyday IPA that still feels intentional.
ABV: 6.6%

Pilsner
Aromas of whole grain bread crust and fresh cracker open up into balanced malt sweetness with a subtle herbal snap. Medium-bodied but never heavy, with a crisp, snappy finish that clears the palate and resets you for the next sip. Clean lines. No fluff.
ABV: 4.7%

Stillings Street
Grapefruit zest, ripe kiwi, lychee, and mango layered over soft effervescence. There’s a delicate peppery note on the back end that adds lift, while the malt stays light and supportive. Juicy but polished, with a clean finish that keeps it from drifting too sweet.
ABV: 7.2%

Congress Street
Peach and clementine up front with tropical fruit rolling through the middle. Moderate bitterness keeps it honest, and a light biscuity malt character anchors the haze. Soft body, balanced sweetness, and a finish that leans crisp rather than syrupy.
ABV: 7.2%

Legroom
Candied pineapple, ruby red grapefruit, papaya, and mango nectar burst out immediately. Dense haze, plush texture, and a remarkably soft mouthfeel. Bitterness stays low so the tropical fruit remains front and center from start to finish. Big aromatics, smooth landing.
ABV: 8.0%

Irish Stout
Deep roast coffee and milk chocolate on the nose, followed by toasted biscuit, caramel, and layered roasted malt. Dry, roast-forward finish with just enough body to stay smooth without feeling heavy. Dark, clean, and quietly confident.
ABV: 5.2%

Rain outside. Structure inside.

If we’re going to get Massachusetts weather, we might as well drink Massachusetts beer.

Cheers!

Some people build great breweries.
Others build great communities.
Jonas somehow did both.

From day one, Radiant Brewing has felt intentional — thoughtful beers, a clear vision, and absolutely zero ego. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when the people behind the scenes actually care about the craft, the team, and the community they’re building.

Five years in, Radiant is firing on all cylinders. The range, the consistency, the collaborations — it all reflects a brewery that knows exactly who it is and where it’s going.

The beers speak for themselves… but the heart behind them is what makes this anniversary hit a little harder.

And sure — not every brewery founder ends up on a throne next to Blackbeard.
But on Radiant’s 5th anniversary? That one feels earned


All The Things We’ve Done: Year 5
DDH West Coast Double IPA
Radiant’s fifth anniversary beer and the foundation of the entire release. Built on Mosaic in every advanced form alongside Nectaron, Krush, and Simcoe. Explosive guava, melon, mango, and white grapefruit ride over a clean, dry backbone. Bright, confident, and dialed — a five-year statement poured loud and clear.
ABV: 8.6%

Some campaigns require strategy.
Some require patience.
This one required a bourbon-barrel aged elixir.

When the rolls go bad, the party turns on each other, and the Game Master starts sounding a little too smug… you don’t rage quit.

You reach for Dragon’s Milk x Dungeons & Dragons: D20 Silver Dragon.

Born from a collaboration between New Holland Brewing and Dungeons & Dragons.

A double bourbon barrel-aged stout infused with Indonesian and Madagascan vanilla that pours obsidian black with thick tan foam. Huge waves of oak, dark chocolate, rich vanilla, and deep bourbon warmth roll across the palate with velvety sweetness and roasted malt backbone. Bold, delicious, and powerful enough to restore morale to even the most cursed campaign.

ABV: 20%

Morale restored. Quest resumed. Dice forgiven.

This isn’t a beer. It’s an endgame item.

Roll for flavor.

Cheers!

How does Blackbeard keep getting new outfits?
We’re guessing he’s just that excited about Great Notion’s 10 year anniversary.

And honestly… fair.

🎉 HAPPY 10 YEARS, GREAT NOTION! 🎉


Project West (10 Year Anniversary Beer)
The headliner for a reason.
West Coast IPA stacked with Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, Lupomax, and Phantasm.
Bright citrus, white grape, tropical fruit, and pine snap hard across the palate. Crisp, dry, clean finish. Bold but balanced. An anniversary beer that actually drinks like one.
ABV: 6.8%

The rest of the lineup holds their own:
Baked Fruited: Peach Pie (Contains Lactose)
Ripe peach and apricot with cinnamon and vanilla. Soft tartness, gentle sweetness, cozy dessert finish.
ABV: 6.0%

Orange Creamsicle (Contains Lactose)
Orange and tangerine up front, vanilla and coconut cream smoothing it out. Plush, creamy body with nostalgic citrus sweetness.
ABV: 7.0%

Mango Fluff
Juicy mango, light vanilla, a touch of cotton candy sweetness. Bright acidity keeps it playful instead of heavy.
ABV: 8.5%

Berry Pusher
Blueberry and strawberry over soft acidity. Light, refreshing, dangerously easy to drink.
ABV: 5.5%

Northleft
Juicy hazy profile with tropical fruit and citrus. Smooth mouthfeel, balanced hop character, easy everyday IPA.
ABV: 6.8%

And yes, the Doom mask is cardboard.
We own a real one. We were just too lazy to go home and get it.

Cheers.

Guys! It’s a collaboration post!!

We rarely get enough collabs at the same time to justify one of these posts, but this week everyone decided to team up. Except one but they don't need to. 
Mammoths returned, pumpkins smashed, and Stone Cold crashed the party the only way he knows how, with a stunner of a beer (Not sorry).

× – Son of Sapping Mammoth: A crisp and bright collab IPA bringing pineapple, guava, lemon, and grapefruit, layered with that classic subtle grassy snap and a touch of savory onion/garlic complexity. Super clean, super crushable, super dangerous. ABV: 6.5% 

× × – Twilight to Starlight: A lush, expressive double hazy IPA steeped in tropical citrus, ripe stone fruit, and soft herbal lift. Brewed with a tea blend for a dreamy wave of juiciness and mellow sweetness. A celebratory brew honoring

× — Broken Skull 10 Year Anniversary: An anniversary West Coast IPA built on big citrus flavor, clean pine aroma, and a crisp, lively body. Smooth malt keeps everything balanced and refreshing, a straight up no nonsense crusher. ABV: 7.0%

Not a collab, but this Speedway Grand Prix 4-pack is basically the Avengers of dessert stouts, so it’s joining the lineup anyway!


Dutch Apple Pie Edition: An imperial stout with warm baked-apple sweetness, soft cinnamon spice, and a rich dessert-leaning body. Smooth fruit and gentle spice roll into a cozy pastry-like finish. ABV 12.0%

Chocolate Pecan Pie Edition: Deep chocolate and roasted pecans lead the way, wrapped in vanilla warmth and a thick, silky stout body. Sweet cocoa and nutty richness settle into a lush, decadent finish. ABV 12.0%

Blackberry Pie Edition: Ripe blackberry adds bright berry pop to a vanilla-forward, creamy stout base. Dark fruit sweetness blends with soft roast for a rich, pie-like finish. ABV 12.0%

Banana Cream Pie Edition: Fresh banana meets vanilla cream in a velvety, dessert-smooth stout. Sweet fruit tones lift the richness and roll into a soft, lingering pastry finish. ABV 12.0%

Cheers!

11/26/2025

After years of friendship, trash talking, bad decisions, and even worse accents, our buddies at Against the Grain vanished from California distribution. P**f. Gone. And honestly? We missed them more than we’re comfortable admitting.

And since they’re finally back, it feels like the right time to share this:
the second picture was taken seven years ago, back when they first visited the shop. Within minutes they roasted me for pronouncing the “s” in Louisville. Which, apparently, is a war crime in Kentucky.

So naturally, in the spirit of international diplomacy,
We got them absolutely, unapologetically trashed.
Friendship established.

Today the universe realigned, the beer gods smiled, and those lovable Louisville degenerates are officially back on our shelves.

And yes, we’re just as shocked as you are.



Starting with the two legends.

CITRA ASS DOWN – Double IPA

Bold citrus dominates — think orange zest, grapefruit, and a little tropical punch — lifted by floral hops. The body stays smooth and balanced, with enough malt to hold the bright fruit intensity. Energetic, layered, and unapologetically citrus-heavy. ABV 8.2%

35K – Milk Stout

Dark roasted malt blends with cocoa and coffee aroma, wrapped in a sweet, creamy body. Milk sugar softens the edges, boosting the chocolate richness and creating a velvety, comforting finish. Smooth, rounded, and endlessly sippable. ABV: 7%

LOO A VUHL PALE – Hazy Pale Ale

Juicy peach, strawberry, and mango burst out of the glass with a bright tropical aroma. The hazy, pillowy body gives everything a soft round feel, letting the fruit ride through with vibrancy. It ends with a gentle sweetness and a glowing tropical finish — playful, lush, and refreshing. ABV 5.5%
