Instead of the 21-plus-bracelet I was hoping for at the gate, I received a polite request from the ladies to return with my license. During the cow-patty laden walk back to my car to fetch my ID, I remembered the severity of Maine’s underage drinking laws — something I learned growing up there — and how good a fresh beer tastes in crisp September weather.”
