Welcome to Portland Beer Scene

Portland, Maine. Early adopter of the craft brewing frenzy, home (and starting point) to world renowned brewers, cold fucking winters. Everything that a beer lover needs*. Portland has many beer blogs covering the city and even a beer writer’s guild. So why would anyone start a new blog? Simply, of all the folks in this town writing about beer, no one really covers the beer. The ABV, cost, coolness factor and more importantly – is it worth your time? These are the things that I look for and find lacking in the local beer write-ups.

*maybe not the winters.

My purpose is to write about beer and beer related events, but to give you the real scene. If you are the sort of beer drinker that enjoys reading about the nose and other distinctive qualities of beer, there are plenty of places for you to read up. If you just want to know what sort of shit is going down around town and what the details are, this is your place.

So in the coming weeks, I hope you’ll check out this blog and join me for some fun.
