Bob,
You are definately doing something wrong and I challenge Moose to help me out
find out what it is and change the bad habbit forever....:)
You cant settle on one or two kinds of beer when you live in a place where
there are the most microbreweries per head of population in the entire world.
I am not sure how the distribution works, but in my liquor store I can find
only the "limited edition", which comes in a 22oz bottle and costs around $10.
Aidan's is one of the best pubs around here:

They have it on draft, thats where I my first encounter was...
I am going on my annual Maine trip at the end of the month. The in-laws
requested that they see Baa Haabah this time...fun. I can bring you a six pack
if you want.
Got back to Europe last year for first time in sixteen earz and had a Tuborg
somewhere, but didnt like it that much, I dont remember why. Breweries change
formulas all the time, I drank beer and wine that tasted completely different
from what I remember...

Glad to see you defending us, Boris! I confess to being lax in my beer roving,
having settled on Pemaquid Ale and Shipyard Summer Ale pretty much to the
exclusion of others.

I see it's distributed in Maine, but by only one distributor. I'll see if I can
track it down. "Best in my entire life" is a pretty strong recomendation.

When stationed in Asmara, Eritrea, back in the early 70s, we often drank a
locally brewed Italian beer. Melotti, I think it was. Pretty good, as I recall.
We also frequently stopped during road trips for a big bottle of Tuborg, which,
I think, was Danish(?) Eritrea was where I learned to enjoy beer at
temperatures that wouldn't produce frostbite of the tonsils.
