It seems like half the people I know took a vacation to Maine this summer. And I admit, I was rather jealous. But recently, I discovered that a precious few bottles from Maine Beer Co. have become available around Atlanta. And with that consolation, and Maine in mind, A Tiny Beautiful Something Pale Ale is this week’s Beer Pick.

Maine Beer Co., Freeport, Maine
Available year-round in pint bottles
Profile
Maine Beer says this single hop pale ale is “brewed to highlight the flavors and aromas of El Dorado hops.” On the malt side, there’s 2-Row, Caramel 40L, and Carapils, plus flaked oats, which give it a silky-smooth mouthfeel. Look for aromas and flavors of citrus peel, with tropical fruit notes of pineapple and lychee, and a touch of caramel in the refreshing, balanced bitterness.
Pair with
While A Tiny Beautiful Something isn’t exactly a summer beer, at 5.5% alcohol, it’s very easy to drink. And it pairs well with all sorts of food, from fish and chips to Nashville hot chicken to spicy Asian dishes like firecracker shrimp.
