Glad Deep Creek Beverage worked out for you.  I hadn't been in before, so didn't know how their selection would be.  SWMBO told me there is another bottle shop on 42 besides Deep Creek, but I couldn't recall seeing it.

I had a 64 oz fill of the blonde and a 32 oz fill of the stout from Mountain State.  I dumped the stout after a few sips - I've very glad the bartender only charged me the single pint price for that growler fill.  I was most looking forward to the blonde, and was really disappointed by it.  It was lacking in any malt body, and tasted like stale/stressed Hefe yeast had been used. 

The Maple Ridge Porter was the most satisfying find of the trip, to me.  I live not too far from Jailbreak (pass them every time I go to get my CO2 filled), so will have to investigate if it really is reserved just for Wisp or if they have it in their taproom as well.

Good call on the Midas Touch!  :)

Yes, as I said, the wife liked the blonde. I thought it was very bland. I still don't know how they get away with selling that stout. I've brewed better beers and dumped them for what I perceived as smaller flaws. But like I said, they are in a resort town capitalizing on the whole drink local, brewery boom. And there are likely several fanboy hipsters in the area drinking that stout regularly
