Maine Beer Company Lunch

Now Athletic Brewing company 

There is this really good radler by Shorts brewing that is called Melt My Brain. 

Very Smooth. 

I love milk stout beer. Especially those that mix in elements of peanut butter, chocolate, and I've even seen marshmallows. The brand I really like is made by a very small brewery. I don't think they sell at scale.

### 9. **St. Bernardus Abt 12 – Brouwerij St. Bernardus, Belgium**
   - **Style:** Quadrupel
   - **Why it's highly rated:** This Belgian quad offers a smooth blend of dark fruit, caramel, and spice with a mild sweetness. Its balance and drinkability, despite its higher alcohol content, make it a favorite among fans of traditional Belgian ales.
