description: In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Maine was a stronghold for the temperance movement but the Pine Tree State emerged from Prohibition to create a beer culture that rivals any other in the United States. Early pioneers like D.L. Geary established the Northeast's love affair with English-style ales and today's upstarts brew unique and inventive recipes. Maine brewers create beer for every palate and Maine's unique flavors--like blueberries potatoes and even oysters--are frequently featured. Maine beer expert Josh Christie discovers the story of brewing in Vacationland by exploring Maine's large breweries like Shipyard; its local crafters like Rising Tide; the budding cider spirits and mead industries; and of course the best places to drink across the state.
