I visited here on my Maine vacation in August 2002. I was surprised it wasn't listed, but didn't want to add it and show up my New England Beer advocate friends. (I actually just found the price sheet I stuffed into my duffel bag.)
A very impressive selection of Maine Beers. I picked up most of my loot here. I remember getting the Atlantic Brewing Co. Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale, Gritty's Halloween Ale the day it came out, and some sea dogs. Also offered the mixed 6-pack option, really nice for the beeradvocate types that like to sample different beers. The guy working was nice and wearing a flannel shirt in August, that's something new to me.

This is a nice little place down by the waterfront in Portland. Yesterday VENOM, JohnnyP, LondonPride, Davo and myself made a raid on this place. They have a real nice selection, with good emphasis on local Maine bier as well as some very nice Belgians like Piraat and Gulden Drak, among other things. As I said, they have a wide array of Maine bier, including Cadillac Mtn Stout. You can make a mix-six of Maine 12oz bottles for $7.95. Stop by if you're nearby to stock up on some good, fresh Maine bier!
