Portland, ME
Pete - This brewery is between Allagash and another building that houses 3-4 breweries - always new ones popping up, all within 1/4 mile of each other. I went here on a Friday afternoon around 3pm and stayed for 2-3 hours. It's very new, having opened in late spring 2018, and I went early summer 2019. They have a bunch of styles, a very large taproom with outdoor space, and a food truck stationed outside. You can get small or large pours, and you will most definitely not be disappointed. Somehow managed to stand out in a city of amazing breweries. They also have video games.

Definitive 35 w/Blueberries & Mango
Session IPA - 3.5% ABV Pete As you can tell by the picture, I got pretty far into this before even considering taking a picture. It's super super drinkable (was much needed low alcohol for me at the time), but also pretty fruity and delicious. Basically a fruit beer with some hoppiness. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Definitive Baby Steps
Milk Stout - 7.2% ABV Pete Pretty sweet, but it actually gets balanced nicely by coconut flavor. I usually don't love coconut, but it works really well in this one. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Definitive Bushwa
Imperial Milk Stout - 8.2% ABV Pete Awesome, awesome beer. Tons of spices, a little sweet, and quite rich. It's like a complex dessert. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Definitive Orbit
Imperial New England IPA - 8.1% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. I know a beer is going to be good when it looks like that. This one is a bit creamy with a touch of coconut from the Sabro hops. Don't love the coconut, but it's still a very good beer. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Definitive Sensitive Ears
Pale Ale - 5.6% ABV Pete Described as smelling like lemon meringue pie and tasting like clementines. Absolutely spot on. The pie part might be a slight exaggeration, but definitely lemon. Excellent beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Definitive Stuffed
Milk Stout - 7.2% ABV Pete This just straight up tastes like an oreo. Obviously, that means it's really good. Definitely on the sweet side though, probably could've benefited from a touch of booziness (maybe throw it in some bourbon barrels). Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Definitive Vanilla Superdome
Imperial Milkshake IPA - 9% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. Wasn't quite prepared for how much vanilla is in this "IPA". It really is just a dessert smoothie. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
