This take on a beer spritz was inspired by the Spaghett cocktail, which typically features lemon and Aperol—a bitter orange-flavored Italian botanical aperitif—added to a light lager. Our version is brewed with a range of bittering botanicals, including rhubarb, red cinchona, angelica root, and gentian root. We add lemon and orange zest for a citrusy pop before fermenting it with a Belgian lager strain. Deliciously drinkable and refreshingly complex, this one pairs perfectly with springtime. Available on draft and to-go in 4-packs of 16oz cans, only at the brewery.

Brewed to pair with island beaches and forest explorations, we created this beer with Chardonnay grape must and tropical hops from New Zealand, then co-fermented it with French saison yeast and wild yeast from Maine. Waves of grape and melon notes dissipate into its dry, floral finish. This 4.7% beer will be available both on draft and to go in 4-packs of 16oz cans.

Join us for the release of From Maine, With Love #13, the latest in our series of small-batch, brewery-only pilot beers. This wheat beer spent time with cherries and honeyberries that had previously been used to age one of our wild beers. Using the fruit a second time is not only more sustainable, it adds layers of flavors to this wheat beer that we couldn’t get any other way. The result is a tart, berry-filled, multi-layered, and deliciously balanced beer. This 5.3% ABV beer will be available on draft and to go in 4-packs of 12oz cans.
