Keep up to date with this weeks talks from the brewery. Here’s to you.

- Saturday (9/27) Growler Fills & Downtown pickupHowdy Friends, We will happily fill some or all of your September share tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be the last “official” day of the 6-month beer share. We are taking a few weeks off as mentioned in a previous email and we will be in touch with you all once we return about bonus beer time. Pre-Fill Orders: Send us your requests by 9:00 for pickup in the cooler outside anytime after 10:00. Please remember to mark your name off on the chalkboard. Drop-in: Feel free to stop in from 10:00-12:00 to have your growlers filled and chat with the brew crew. Downtown Pickup: Send us your requests by Noon for pickup 19 Franklin Street (cooler inside the carriage house) after 1:00. September 27th Beer Options: Smokin’ Rope Porter 7.0% OMT IPA 7.2% Festbier Marzen 6.6% Willsner Bohemian Pilz 4.9% Beer Descriptions: Smokin’ Rope: is one of our favorite recipes that has taken on several variations (and names) over the years. An American Porter by style, this is a robust porter that is brewed with Chaga mushrooms to offer earthy notes and finished off with hint of smoke from Lapsang Souchong tea. 80% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine farmers. OMT (Old Man Time): This is our flagship beer and one of our first recipes. A stronger version of the American Pale Ale, this style is bitter and hoppy, showcasing American hop varieties that balance nicely with pale and crystal malts. Our creative hop profile offers the bitterness and flavor of a West Coast IPA with the aroma of an East Coast IPA…We call it a Midcoast IPA. 95% of the grains used in this beer come from Maine farmers. Festbier Marzen is our version of the original Oktoberfest style that was first served in 1872. This elegant, malty German amber lager offers a clean, rich, toasty and bready malt flavor, restrained bitterness and dry finish that encourages another drink. 85% of the grains used in this beer come from Maine farmers. Willsner was inspired by the Light Lager movement of 1842 in The Czech Republic (formally Czechoslovakia and before that Bohemia). Brewed with Pilsner and Vienna malts from The Aroostook County, along with a traditional variety of hops from The Czech Republic. “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” 95% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine Farmers. Cheers! -FBB
- After September 30th Plans…And Thanks!!!Hey all, As we approach the end of the 6-month beer share we want to take a moment to thank all of you for supporting our small brewery. It’s hard to believe that this is our 7th year of operations here at FBB and because of you, we are able to continue this labor of love. I also want to thank the “brew crew”; Jon (OMT), Zafra, Eric, Vic, Stan, Timbo, Aaron, Gabor who help make this magic happen with their contributions. We recognize that 6 months goes pretty fast. Some of you have not been able to get all of your allotted beer…we get it…life is busy. We are going to continue to offer beer beyond September 30th, not only because we want you to get all your beer, but because we have some beer in the pipeline that we want to make sure you have the opportunity to try (it’s really good). That’s right…we haven’t stopped brewing…it’s just too much fun! After Saturday, We are taking a little business trip for the next 2+ weeks. We are going to hop on a plane to Germany, party in the Oktoberfest beer tents, bike around Bavaria visiting all sorts of breweries and brewers in hopes of learning a thing or two to help make your beer that much better next year. Upon our return, we will be open one day each week (either Wednesday or Saturday) to fill growlers until the beer runs out. As always, we will send out an email the day before to let you know. FAQ’s “FBB, I’m not sure if I’ve take all my beer?” No problem…Send us and email and we will check the books and let you know where you stand. “FBB, I’ve taken all my beer, can I still come and get more?” Absolutely! We will happily sell you growlers if you’ve taken all your beer shares. The cost will be $10-32oz and $20-64oz growlers. “FBB, what about 2026?” We are currently planning another 6-month beer share from April 1-September 30 next year. If you are interested in continuing next year, please let us know and we will guarantee your share for another year. A reminder of this will come out later this Fall for those of you who have lost interest in this email because it’s way too long… “FBB, I love the Wednesday bike rides, will they continue?” OMG…Yes! We will ride bikes as long as Mother Nature allows us. Thanks again for all your support and cheers! A. Roy Curtis, Owner Frosty Bottom Brewing Belfast, Maine 207-323-2964 frostybottombrewing.com
