This week’s beer comes from way up north in The Pine Tree State.
Orono Brewing Company is located in Orono, Maine, a small town of 11,000 that is also the home to the University of Maine Black Bears - who, incidentally, are scheduled to play at Ball State in early September.
Since their inception on New Years Eve of 2014, they have built a distribution across Maine, New Hampshire, and New York and even opened a second location in Bangor - just eight miles south of their original brewery.
Today I have one of their mainstays and what is, by far, their most popular beer - Tubular.
