Nice, how was the sunfish? Guessing you made it to Portland.

 

Cna we ban all talk about beer for the next 5 weeks in this forum please? PLEASE!

I think I can give up oxygen easier than beer.

 

I liked the Sunfish. Ive had more beer on this trip, than this whole year. So dont take my opinions seriously. But I think Im going to have more beer soon. Yes in Portland

 

5 weeks?!

Sure. Happy to help.

Just kidding.

 

So much good beer in and around Portland. Anything from Rising Tide is my most recent go to.

 

Bissell brothers is right in Portland as well.

Just checked, closed today.

 

I did paleo for awhile the meals we ate were outstanding when we followed others recipies, my one gripe was how expensive it got trying to get the freshest products, we scaled that back pretty quickly. For our coffee we ended up using real coconut milk, to me I actually like the flavor quite a bit.

 

...i realize I'm am a day behind!

 

The Shipwreck Summer is a little dark for me. Im not sure I can finish it. But it does go well with seafood

 

That does suck. No wonder mericuh is so fat. Fresh Veggies/fruit are f'n expensive, as is decent meat. Chicken isn't bad when bought in bulk, I would just rather eat red meats.

 

Definitely should have gotten 3 lobsters. Also, imo the best meat is in the thorax between the leg sockets. Just don't eat the gills...

 

How was the lobsta?

 

Shipyard Summer is too dark?

Glad I didn't recommend the Allagash Black, haha!

 

Hey, @fatfurious2
When you get back to Virginia, I'd highly recommend a trip to the Carter Mountain Orchard for the Bold Rock taproom. Maybe at sunset. It was pretty sweet when I was there this spring.
And if you like your drinks on the lighter side some of their hard ciders are pretty good.

 

OEC and Black Hog are both near the Airport.
My BIL walks thru the woods in back of his house to visit Black Hog. Lucky man!

 

Yup.
I visited Shipyard a few times.

 

It was awesome! Best Ive ever had

 

@bajatacoguy ill be in Portsmouth in an hour. Will you be around? Can I meet?

 

Yeah, a 20oz of Coke costs $.99 but a water is $2. A bag of angina at Mcdonalds costs $5 but a lousy basic salad is $7 at Subway. A frozen pizza is $5 but a rib eye is $14/lb, grass fed is $25/lb....

Also power everything, smart phones...

Odds are it was picking up scraps on the floor of Casco Bay yesterday. Credit where it's due, one thing that can be said about most of the local seafood places is that their stuff is fresh.
