After forcing my husband to endure hours of fabric selection, I offered him a reward for good behavior.

.

.

And we headed northwest from Waterville to Bigelow Brewing in Skowhegan.

.

.

Housed in a barn on the owner’s property ….

.

.

The feel is down home rustic Maine.

.

.

We’d never been here before, but as soon as I saw who was helping keep an eye on things….

.

.

I felt right at home.

.

.

We did an assorted flight…

.

.

And my husband liked the Lying Bastard. Make of that what you will.

.

.

The tasting room has live music on weekend nights…

.

.

And table supports shaped like beer bottles.

The only food on offer is from a brick pizza oven out back.

.

.

And while my crust was burnt, the garlicky chicken broccoli Alfredo pie was quite good.

.

.

Upon leaving we noticed the Xmas decorations were still out.

.

.

But the beer was good enough to bring home, so I’ll forgive them the transgression.
