Loons and lager: birders, brewers form flockSABATTUS, Maine--In the worlds of birders and craft beer lovers, there's a new paradigm, and it involves searching for ales along with the eagles, pairing stouts with swans and enjoying some bocks in tandem with buntings. One of the more successful tours is "Birds On Tap Roadtrip," located in beer-loving, bird-rich Maine and now in its second year. "There happen to be a lot of people who like birds who like beer — we've analyzed this," said Derek Lovitch, who leads Birds On Tap Roadtrip tours. Birds On Tap Roadtrip is coordinated by Freeport Wild Bird Supply, which is run by bird nut Lovitch and his wife, Jeannette. They partner with Maine Brew Bus, a lime green bus that shuttles people to the state's many breweries and serves as a kind of Mystery Machine of Maine beer.
