Giving Back
Giving back to our community
We are lucky to call the beautiful coast of Maine our home. We are able to craft high-quality and consistent beers thanks to the support of our community. We strive to give back as much as possible. It is our goal that other industries, be it agriculture, tourism, or art and culture, are able to grow while sustaining the invaluable natural resources and wildlife our home has to offer.
