Tall Tales Told Over Beer (Wells, ME) – Batson River Brewing & Distilling which operates four brewpub restaurants in Maine, has an interesting new release that was inspired by sitting around a campfire telling stories about the adventures of days gone by. Batson River Very Tall Tales is a 7.8% ABV India Pale Ale with bold orange, lemon, vanilla, and grapefruit notes and a fun label that features some of the most famous Maine urban legends including Sasquatch and the haunted well of Sabattus.
