Howdy Friends! Here we go!!! I hope you are as excited as we are about kicking off the 2024 beer shares tomorrow. For those of you who are new, you can expect an email such as this one to arrive the night before growler fills. Our intent is to ensure you know what the current lineup is prior to stopping in. It also gives you the option of pre-ordering and picking up in a cooler outside the brewery door. Just as a reminder, growler fills/pickups will occur every Wednesday evening from 6-8 and Saturday morning from 10-12 (During the summer months we will modify the Wednesday pickup from 7-9). We will also offer a downtown pickup two Saturdays each month after 1:00.
THE BEER: We will kick off this year with a great lineup of fan favorites…OMT (Old Man Time) is our flagship IPA. One of our first recipes, it is an American IPA by style with the hop bitterness and flavor of a West Coast IPA along with the hop aroma of an East Coast IPA…We like to call it a Midcoast IPA. 95% of the grains used in this beer come from Maine farmers. Chompski is a recipe inspired by the great Belgian IPA, Houblon Chouffe. A Belgian Golden Strong Ale by style, this pale, complex,
effervescent ale is highly attenuated and offers hoppy and fruity notes of lemon and grapefruit. 100% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine farmers. Dog Island Dark is our Winter Lager from the Munich Region. A Munich Dunkel by style, this rich and malty dark beer offers bready-toasty flavors with hints of chocolate. Bonus points for those who know were Dog Island is in Belfast. 90% of the grain in this beer comes from Maine farmers. 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.
