Howdy friends! We are just a few days away from celebrating 8 years of brewing happiness with y’all. This Sunday, October 18th, we will raise a pint to community & friendship the best way we know how…The festivities will kick off at 2:00 at the brewery and we hope all of you can join us. We have a few requests to help us make this a total success: 1. Parking: As you know we have limited parking available at the brewery. If you park on the road, please park on the same side of the road as the brewery. Please do not turn around in our neighbor’s driveways, but rather drive up the Hunt road to where you will see a place to turn around on the right side just before the pavement ends. Alternative parking/camping options: Our good friend, Sasha Brewski, has ample parking at her property located 1 mile form the brewery at 83 Jesse Robbins Road, AKA Alley Cat Lane (look for the little free library). You can drive up the dirt driveway and park in the field. from here you can bike, walk or car-pool the 1-mile to the brewery. There is an outhouse on the property if you decide to camp. We would encourage flashlights/headlamps if you plan to park here. 2. Food: FBB will be roasting a pig and making some bean-hole beans. We plan to pull all the pork for tacos and we will provide the soft tacos to accompany the pork & beans. We will also have all the plates/bowls & utensils. Please bring your favorite side and/or sauce to share. 3. Beer: We will have 6 beers on tap for this party, including 2 new beers “All Good Things” and “Last Call” (collaboration with Marshall Wharf Brewing) for you to enjoy. We will do our best to have enough glassware available but we strongly encourage you to bring your favorite beer glass to use. 4. Camp chairs: We will have limited seating options, so please bring a camp chair. Please reach out with any questions. Thanks! -FBB

Howdy, Friends. If you are still owed beer and would like to have some growlers pre-filled and left for you in the cooler outside the brewery door, we will happily do this for you tomorrow. Please send us your pre-fill orders by 5:00 for pickup anytime after 5:30 @ the brewery. Please remember to check your name off on the chalkboard so we know you picked up your beer. Please remember to bring back any empty growlers you have…Thanks! October 7th Beer Options: OMT IPA 7.2% Dog Island Dunkel 5,4% Scheldt Belgian Pale Ale 5.3% Postcards from Helles 5.5% Beer Descriptions: 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. Named after the Godfather of FBB. 95% of the grains used in this beer come 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. Dog Island Dunkel: This is the first of two beers this year influenced by our trip to the Bavarian Region of Germany last October. Of the 130 beers we sampled, Dunkel was the most common style across the 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 Corner is in Belfast. 90% of the grain 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 soft, dry finish. Created in Munich in 1894 to compete with the Pilsner-type beers. Named after The Wood Brothers song by similar title. 98% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine Farmers. Cheers! -FBB
