Maine: Big Size Dump

#1

Post by Longopener »

I just spent a week digging in rainy Maine with DaveNH and we struck it BIG SIZE. I swear every place we stopped had at least one of these in them. This is a precursor to what we found the rest of the week.

Why drive 12 hour one way to dig Pre-Tax Tru Blu ales, Genny 12 Horse Longopeners, Gamecock Ales, Apollos, Neuweilers Bock, and Krueger’s Baldies when you can locally drive 10 hours round trip and dig Pfeiffer, Goebel, Drewrys and Strohs?

Actually this was one of the first dumps we found last week. Things went uphill from there...

Yes we did. Was happy to find one I needed in good shape. Sadly no Canadian flats or cones.

I'm glad to hear things went uphill from there, but that photo is pretty darn close to the bottom of the hill . . .

Yes there were juice and ring pulls in the dump as well. We didn’t keep any since indoor condition examples go for $10 - $20.

@Longopener Chris....however if they were from Newark which is likely/possible...there is not one in the USBC Vol II Supplemental...

I say likely because there is one for St Louis and one for LA and each of those list Newark. I also lean towards Newark since it is closer to Maine....

I didn’t look through all the cans in the dump but the ones I did look at were from St Louis. There’s so many cans in that pile that anything is possible. There were some 16 oz Baltimore Colt 45 ring pulls and scads of common Ballantine pint flats as well.

I brought about a dozen of the big buds home from Maine last year but still haven't cleaned them. I will have to see if there is a Newark in there...
