    It is time to start home brewing. The temperatures have cooled, the hops are just about ready in our garden and, since I have a tiny TV in my cellar brewing area, I spent the commercials of the Patriots’ season opener getting ready for the brewing season.

    What Ales You: Barrel increase means more styles and some tweaking

    Maine Beer Co. is one of Maine’s newest breweries, and one if its smallest. Started last year by brothers David and Daniel Kleban, the company has a one-barrel brewing system in Portland, and bottle-conditions all of its beer.

Some shrubs probably will have to be removed, and others will have to be pruned heavily. I know I have said that a properly planted shrub border […]

    What Ales You: A ‘Gansett comeback? He’ll drink to that – and he won’t be alone

    Beer drinkers of a certain age are welcoming an old friend back to Maine. Narragansett Lager, which from the 1940s to the early 1970s was the top-selling beer in Maine, is now being sold at some Portland bars and some of the larger beer stores.

    What Ales You: Growlers let locavores get freshest possible beer to go

    It has been legal for almost a year now for brew pubs in Maine to sell growlers of their own beer directly from a pub. As far as my research can tell, only the Liberal Cup in Hallowell and Run of the Mill in Saco, both owned by Geoff Houghton, have taken advantage of the […]

    Maine Gardener: Lawn looking a little bare? Consider these seeds for thought

    The best time for renovations to your lawn and garden are late summer and early fall — usually from about Aug. 20 to Oct. 5, when the summer temperatures have dropped and the rains begin.

    What Ales YouBrews that score: Magic Hat and a Pats game winner

    For the past three weeks I have been drinking a lot of new beer — one of the advantages of writing this column. Some of it shows up at the office, for which I am grateful, and others people bring to me. Magic Hat, a craft brewer from Vermont, sent me three beers that are […]
