Amber and I went up to Maine last weekend for their Alumni weekend. This festival started ~11 years ago, but this was the first time that we visited during the festival.<\/p>\n
On Saturday night, after driving through the rain\/lightening storm and avoiding all of the fallen trees, we ventured over to da Bear’s Den<\/span> to visit with her brothers. I was quite pleased that tucked away in central Maine, they had Shipyard Export<\/span> and Casco Bay – Rip Tide<\/span> on draft.<\/p>\n The bar was pretty crowded, mostly people returning for the weekend, but there were some locals. (The bears den is a bar in a modified house. When walking up the porch entrance, we passed by all of the locals having a smoke. It was similar to walking into Seabrook Walmart.) The band was pretty good. The lead singer loved using his voice box thingy and the sax player was good.<\/p>\n On Saturday morning, we ventured into town to see the parade. I was surprised to learn that the parade route is about 2 1\/2 miles and there were over 80 floats\/vehicles participating. After the parade finished, the streets were closed. We ventured over to Abel Blood’s. I was very excited to see everyone wearing Sea Dog Blueberry shirts. What’s more exciting was their beers on draft.<\/p>\n * Sea Dog Blueberry Yum Yum. We sat outside on the sidewalk under the tent, I enjoyed a couple of tasty Sea Dog Blueberry drafts.<\/p>\n When it was time to move on, we ventured over to the pub next door to visit Josh (who was eating lunch). I am not sure if the pub’s name, but it’s situation inside an old bank. It still has the vault. I was rather excited that they offered Shipyard export<\/span> – $1.75 drafts..<\/p>\n It was a fun time in Dover.<\/p>\n We’ll definitely have to go back next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amber and I went up to Maine last weekend for their Alumni weekend.
