Look, I know Applebee's isn't a craft bar by any stretch of the imagination and the food is generally bland and unexciting except for an appetizer or two. But these servers won't work anywhere nicer unless they learn a thing or two about alcohol. I assume that those who do move on to one of the better locally owned places.

We get a few more Mainestream craft beers from up north here; Shipyard and Seadog products show up. I've had beer from Allagash and DL Geary that I would like to taste again but I don't see them in the liquor stores or on tap handles in the Panhandle. Eventually, I suppose.
