Howdy Friends, We will happily fill some or all of your September Share tomorrow. Just as a reminder, growler fills/pickups will occur every Wednesday evening from 6-8 and Saturday morning from 10-12. We will also offer a downtown pickup on some Saturdays each month after 1:00…So there is plenty of opportunities for you to get your beer throughout the month.
For those who have not been to the brewery, we are located at 18 Hunt Road in Belfast (red 2-story building with a garage door). There is limited space in the driveway, so feel free to park on the road.

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.
Catbird Seat Cream Ale:
An Ale version of the American Lager, with way more character. This style was originally created in the 1800’s and survived prohibition. This pale straw colored beer has
medium to low malt notes with a sweet corn-like aroma. The light hop aroma offers floral, spicy or herbal notes. It’s often referred to it as a “lawnmower beer”, we just think it’s super easy to drink and delicious. 95% of the grain used in this beer comes from Maine Farmers.
Cheers!
