Microbrew
of the Month
Gritty's Halloween Ale
Every August marks the return of Gritty's legendary Extra Special Bitter for the season, Halloween Ale - the beer so good, it's scary! From its humble beginnings in 1990 as a small-batch seasonal in their Portland Brew Pub, Halloween Ale has grown to be one of the year's most anticipated beer releases. This robust brew has a deep amber color, a bold, malty palate and a well-rounded hop finish. The perfect beer for a crisp autumn day! Halloween Ale is available in ominous six-packs, and on draft at frightening establishments all over the terrifying state of Maine. Be afraid, be very afraid...of running out.

Non-Alcoholic Beverage of the Month
CocoZona
AriZona Beverages USA LLC is pleased to introduce CocoZona, a beverage made of 100% pure coconut water and the first on the market to come in a 100% recyclable and resealable aluminum bottle. The coconut water used in CocoZona makes it a naturally isotonic drink containing several key electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, which are all essential for rapid fluid absorption. The benefits of CocoZona don't stop there. It also contains zero fat and zero cholesterol at only 70 calories per 14.5 oz serving. CocoZona contains only one ingredient that's made from green Indonesian coconuts, which gives it a great tasting natural sweetness without any added sugars or preservatives.

Segway Donated to Barbara Bush Children's Hospital Auction
 On Friday, July 29th, The Woodlands Club in Falmouth hosted the Annual Auction & Summer Soiree to benefit The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Center. Each year, this wonderful fundraising event raises funds to help the more than 51,000 children cared for annually at the hospital.
National Distributors, along with Wal-Mart Unit 85, donated a Segway to the auction. The donation was made possible as a result of a summer long Snapple Beverage promotional program funded by the Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group. The value of the Segway was approximately $800.00.
