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!

Can picked up from somewhere, but forget where, Beer Republic webshop Breda Netherlands maybe? Had this at home Sunday 8th August 2021 whilst cooking Goats Cheese, Clams and Chorizo it's our take on a Yottum Ottelenghi recipe. Pours hazy warm gold with a white head, hoppiness throughout though noting that this was canned 31.12.2020 the intensity has diminished somewhat I guess. Fruity, soft moutheel, good but a little safe.

Can (6/11/21) from Brewtopia. It's an opaque orange-light brown with light sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and fair lacing. Aroma is strong apricot, grapefruit and melon. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp finish with very mild bitterness. Overall, decent juiciness and fair complexity. A little too carbonated.

Can (5/28/21) pour from the brewery in Portland. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple, candied fruit, citrus. Taste is strong coconut over pineapple and fruit. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick, smooth texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol warmth and sweet fruity finish as taste. Overall, really nice all around with some interesting difference between aroma and taste.
