Maine has maybe the best under-hyped craft brew scene in New England. My niece's boyfriend is head brewer at Foul Mouthed in S Portland.
I loved Hidden Cove when I stopped in back in October.
A friend of mine fished Cranberry Pond in Sunderland/Leverett and told me 4" of black ice. That's pretty solid. It's also been real cold here this week, today was first day above freezing and it's already back down in the mid-20's.
