Boothbay Harbor is a lovely little town to explore.

.

.

And nestled down near the water we found a new purveyor of beer.

.

.

Footbridge brewing is small and quirky.

.

.

And they don’t take themselves too seriously..

.

.

It’s a laid back, rustic space.

.

.

And as with any new brewery we visit, we sampled a flight.

.

.

But as much as we wanted to, we can’t really recommend their product. Flat and tasteless, their beer needs a lot of tweaking.

.

.

Giant googly eyes aside.

Just as we were about to leave, a fellow Marine joined us at the bar and a 45 minute conversation ensued. Thankfully for me there was a small cocktail list.

.

.

And a poison apple kept me occupied.

.

.

I’d never had Reaper’s Revenge before but oh my. It’s a spicy cinnamon liqueur that made my tongue tingle happily while my husband endlessly chatted.

After our brewery visit we drove out to East Boothbay….

.

.

A gorgeous but little known area.

.

.

Lovely old homes…

.

.

And water views.

To be continued….
