About
Definitive Brewing was formed in 2017 when we came across lightning in a (beer) bottle. After months of planning, we were introduced to our now Director of Brewing Operations, and found an ideal location, all in a single week. Our investment group is made up of friends and family all with ties to Lake Cobbosseecontee in Manchester, ME. After 6 months of tireless efforts to transform an old scaffolding company into a production brewery and tasting room, we opened May 19, 2018 on the legendary Industrial Way.

After two years of operation in Portland, our team chose to open a second tasting room on May 22nd, 2020 in Maine's southernmost town, Kittery in the heart of the shopping district. Kittery is pillar in Maine's food and beverage scene, and the opportunity to become part of this phenomenal town was one that we could not pass up.

At Definitive Brewing we strive to provide a memorable tasting room experience for all of our customers. This is culminated by our wide variety of beers, including our Kolsch (Contee), Session Ales, IPAs, Stouts and Sours! Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see you soon!

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8
16 oz can. Aroma a d flavor are a mirror. Some citrus and mango upfront, with a mild dinkiness toward the finish. Very light herbal bitterness that balances the fruit. Lighter mouth feel and a soft texture. Overall, as expected.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you buddy. Aroma is rich with toffee, spice and earthy grain. Flavor has nice malt depth. The aforementioned toffee, earthy grain are here and ends on mild spice. Highly drinkable.
