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.
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.
Back of Beyond: Is an American Amber Ale by style, which offers a hoppy, moderate-strength beer with a caramel malty flavor. This style was developed as a variation from the American Pale Ale and is often referred to as a Red Ale in some regions. 92% of the grains used in this beer come from Maine farmers.
Prost! Altbier is a well-balanced, well-attenuated, bitter yet malty, clean, and smooth, amber to deep copper colored German Ale that is the traditional style from Dusseldorf. This beer offers a rich malt character reflective of traditional German base malts, with nutty-toasty bread crust notes, with low hop aroma. “Alt” refers to the old style of brewing (top-fermenting ales) that was common before bottom-fermenting lagers became popular.
