Holy smokes. And Olde Main wanted to/is building a rooftop bar? LOL.

Well, maybe this puts a nail in Olde Main, and a quality brewing operation can move in there.

Sucks for DG's and Corner Pocket though.

Crazy because Ole a Maine was ahead of the craft beer wave but could never capitalize. If I’m not mistaken they don’t bottle or can and it’s almost impossible to find it anywhere BUT on tap at Olde Maine.

Yowsa, if he isn't paying all his taxes, he will have bigger problems than losing the liquor license.

Also, Olde Main brews were underwhelming at best.

Donkey Wheat wasn’t that bad, but wasn’t great either. Their IPA (Clone Ale?) tasted like I was drinking Pine Sol

I was happy Torrent and Alluvial opened up when I was living in Ames as a post grad

Alluvial gets better with every new beer they brew. Torrent is making progress. Heard they got a new head brewer.
