Description
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 from Half Barrel. Can doesn’t say hops used or which batch this is and I’m terrible at guessing which hops are used maybe after 5k more beers. Cloudy with some floaters fairly bright orange with a decent head. Nose is nice fruit juice and some herbal tones. Taste sof tangeringe, bitter orange peel, herbal, floral, light forest and bubblegum. Low bitterness and smooth. Quite tasty

Pours slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Sweet cracker and hay aromas. Sharp with sweet caramel and dry cracker before turning to mild toasted sourdough in the dry, lasting finish.

16 oz can from Half Time. Clear, pale golden with a small frothy head. Grainy aroma. Taste is more full flavored biscuit malts, light lemony accents and a light, dry bitter snap at the end. Pretty good example of the style.
