The road that connects Calais, Maine with Bangor is shown as Route 9 on a map. However, it acquired the nickname “Airline” over a century ago because it was a quicker route than the shoreline.
We were rolling south on the Airline back to Massachusetts when we saw two words on a large banner: Beer and Open.
We rolled in to Airline Brewing where Andy filled us in that the owners brew more traditional English beers.
We tried their full list: Mrs Ram’s liked their Spring Cleaning which had flowery taste. Mr Ram liked the Honey Brown. We both found the English IPA surprisingly drinkable.(we are usually not a fan of most IPAs bitterness.)
We chatted with Tom and Danielle who were traveling physical therapists, then continued our journey south.
