I was typing up my thoughts on Allagash Night this morning too, but it seems you beat me to the punch. I stopped in for about 45 minutes last night. The beer was fabulous (though I was driving, so I could only try the tripel rosalare) and the cheese selections quite interesting as well.

My only complaint was that it was very warm inside, and raining outside, so I couldn’t really go out to cool off. Perhaps a few large window fans to move the air through the space would help. I know that’s a fairly minor detail, but hot, humid conditions make for a less-than-optimal cheese experience.

I’ll certainly be there next week for Sam and the Dogfish crew. I’ll line up transportation too, as I’m sure I won’t be able to resist trying more than one…

Maybe stuff like Keystone Light. But the beer I drink cost more per gallon than gas does still. The stuff I drink cost about $24 per gallon. Let's hope gas doesn't ever get that pricey!</p> <p>Yet, it's a nice t-shirt. Looks good.</p> Not sure which beer you’re talking about is cheaper than gas. Maybe stuff like Keystone Light.

Small glasses afford you the luxury to try more beer. Belgium beer which is usually stronger than UK/US beers are normally served in 33cl glasses. Beer drinking needs to be a genderless sport.</p> It’s a bit sexist suggesting small glasses are only for the ladies. Small glasses afford you the luxury to try more beer.
