It was here I discovered Bissell Brothers Substance Ale, a dank and delicious IPA that renewed my faith in Maine beers on this trip. Of course there’s tons of great Maine beers, but I seemed to be making all of the wrong choices this round. Bissell Brothers (a recommendation of our bartender Shane from 50Local) didn’t disappoint. Mamas Crowbar has a solid beer list served with a side of snark and a touch of hipster. I also discovered that Tuesday night is piano night, where the pianist will play any song you’d like for $1 and Piano Man by Billy Joel, for $50. Of course, I was let down to find out he didn’t know “I am I Said” (yes, I am a Neil Diamond fan) but he promised he’d know it next Tuesday… Quirky and snarky… My kind of bar.
