July 19th Beer Options: Scheldt Belgian Pale Ale 5.7% Juicebox (CMA) 6.5% Pixelator Doppelbock 7.7% Wilsner Bohemian Pilsner 4.9% Beer Descriptions: Scheldt Belgian Pale Ale: Named after the river that flows from Northern France through Antwerp, Belgium into the North Sea. We attempted to match the water profile of Antwerp for this beer to make it as true to style as possible. Historically, this style has roots that go back to the mid-1700’s and is similar to pale ales from England with a different yeast character. You will find this copper-colored ale moderately malty, somewhat fruity and easy to drink. 92% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine farmers. Juicebox (CMA) IPA: You like ’em hazy and juicy??? Well here you go Hop Lovers…This one’s for you. A slight change to our New England Style IPA recipe…We substituted the hops for Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo (CMA). This IPA is low on hop bitterness but high on the flavors and aromas of all things citrus. We use 3 pounds of hops in this 1-barrel recipe. Named for a beloved member of the FBB family who is otherwise known as “The Juicebox Guy”. 97% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine Farmers. Pixelator: A Doppelbock by style, this beer is a strong, rich, very malty German Lager that is a Bavarian speciality and was first brewed by monks of St. Francis of Paula for them to drink during Lent as “liquid bread”. The original Doppelbock, “Salvator”, was brewed in 1634 by Paulaner brewery. Fun fact: Most brewers name their version of this style with “ator” at the end of the name out of respect for the the original. 91% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine farmers. Wilsner 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

In collaboration with the Belfast chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA), join us for an “old school” mountain bike ride (8 miles) that starts and ends at the brewery and rolls over blueberry hills and snowmobile trails on the upper west side of Belfast. All riders are welcome. If you are feeling like biking isn’t your thing, join a crew on a run to the top of the blueberry hill (2.9 miles round trip). Ride/run departs the brewery at 5:30. Bring something for the grill for the post-ride/run “grill and chill”. Cheers! -FBB
