Maine Life

It was a big storm. Lots of trees down, lots of folks without power. The only casualty in my home was the cable, which, since we are "borrowing" our neighbor's line, may not ever come back.

But, more importantly, Allen's Coffee Brandy is ranked the #1 alcoholic beverage in Maine for the 10th year in a row.

I like this tidbit best:

Allen's is so popular that its different bottle sizes rank first, second, sixth and ninth on the Maine Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations list of the top 25 alcoholic items sold last year. Allen's is the only brand that appears more than once in the top 10.

I imagine a survey:

"So, what's your favorite kind of booze?"

"Well, I like the half-gallon. The fifth is good too. And nothin beats the pint if you're on the go."
