Maine’s Best Beer Bar is WHERE?
This list of the 33 Best Beer Bars In America includes a surprising entry from Maine. Not in Portland, with it’s hundreds of bars and dozens of breweries and tasting rooms.
No, this bar is in little Lovell, Maine. Population 1,140.
Here’s what the article says:
EBENEZER’S PUB
Sure, it’s a little odd to call a small Maine town with a population hovering around 1,000 a beer destination, but even if Ebenezer’s was located in the seventh circle of hell (or, even worse, Gary, Indiana), we’d be flocking. The place offers up more than 700 bottles and a Belgian-intensive tap selection in a cozy house that could easily be mistaken for one of the many farmhouses that double as bars in the Belgian countryside, apart from the uniquely Maine sight of snowmobiles parked outside during the winter. The place has so much clout that in 2007, the brewers at Belgium’s De Struise brewery took notice and developed Black Albert — a royal stout considered one of the world’s finest — just for Ebenezer’s.
