Howdy Friends! We will happily fill some or all of your August share tomorrow. 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:
Juicebox IPA: You like ’em hazy and juicy??? Well here you go Hop Lovers…This one’s for you. Our one and only New England Style IPA that is low on hop bitterness but high on the flavors and aromas of all things citrus. 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.
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.
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. Postcards from Helles is a clean, malty, gold-colored German lager with a smooth grainy-sweet flavor and a soft, dry finish. Created in Munich in 1894 to compete with the Pilsner-type beers. Named after The Wood Brothers song by similar title.

Wednesday bike rides are back!!! Join us for an “old school” mountain bike ride 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.
Cheers!
