The food was amazing, who would have thought that a hefeweizen shrimp shooter would have been so good(or that&#8217;s what I heard). Kai Adams and all of the folks at Sebago were great hosts and they let us try their new Bonfire Rye which hasn&#8217;t hit the stores yet &amp; they had only been bottled the day&nbsp; before.<\/p>\n<p>Our post dinner shenanigans brought us to a Patriot Craft Alliance event at the Thirsty Pig and then we capped off the night at Novare Res.&nbsp; Friday we stopped in Portsmouth to have lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery on our way to Boston.
