In 2011, the first edition of the Nacht van de Grote Dorst took place at [[Ebenezer's Pub]] in Lovell, Maine. This Night of Great Thirst featured both lambic beers from Belgium and spontaneously fermented beers brewed in the United States. The second edition of the festival took place in 2013, again at Ebenezer's Pub. As of early 2015, there is no word on whether or not this festival will be held in the spring.
