Bateau – def. a light flat-bottomed riverboat used in eastern and central North America.
A bateau is a boat, but in my neck of the woods? It’s also a brewery.
.

.
Perched on the river in a turn of the century mercantile building, we met the owners recently and had to check it out. And though the outdoor seating had a great view….
.

.
It was hot, so we opted for indoor.
.

.
Which also had a good waterfront view.
.

.
I liked the vibe, and I liked the beer.
.

.
I did not like the fact that my husband and our friend found the strategically placed cribbage board and left me twiddling my thumbs for an hour .
.

.
But I joined the Maine Beer Trail and checked in accordingly.
.

.
And I drank.
.

.
It was called pucking sour… and it was, with cherry and pomegranate undertones.
