Buttle's from upstate New York, an area that could give Maine a run for its money when it comes to cold and snow. He's reviewed some great beers on his site and I'm jealous of the variety he is able to come across at his local beer store! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and letting me know about loving beer in "lake effect" country!
Cheers Buttle!

(RHP) Where do you live and what are some of your favorite local places to get a beer?
(B) Rochester, New York. I buy retail beer at the renowned Beers of the World. Bars? MacGregor's; there are a few locations that have a great selection. Often I don't call the shots wind up at "civilian" bars drinking Sam Adams if they have it.
(RHP) What made you decide to start a beer blog?
(B) I think I just wanted to blog about something. Instead of choosing a topic I was already into, I chose one I was still developing an interest in, and have been using the blog to facilitate that interest.
(RHP) Other than blogging, how else are you involved with your love of beer?
(B) Trying to encourage friends/relatives to try craft beer, without being a pest. I'll probably try homebrewing someday, but I can't keep up will all the bottled beers I want to drink, let alone my own. Also, I'm intimidated by any hobby that begins with lessons in proper sanitation.
(RHP) If you could visit one brewery, that you've never been to, which would it be?
(B) One of the Belgian Trappist ones. In the US, maybe Victory.
(RHP) What comes to mind when you think of Maine?
(B) Allagash is the first thing that comes to mind. Other than beer: lobster, that accent, Stephen King settings, cheap jokes about Bangor, liberal Republicans.

Beers of the World is a great place. RHP needs to make a trip to Rochester to visit that store, see the Amerks, and enjoy some Genny. Actually, forget the last part.
Mike from Rochester
