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!

16 oz. can. Aroma is oranges and maybe grapefruit. Flavor is a mega ton of citrus fruits. Flavor is the bold citrus with a mild undertone of pine and herb. Maybe pineapple. A lot of juice texture. Lightly dry. Really well crafted.

16 oz can. Flavor shows bold baker’s chocolate, cocoa and vanilla creamer. Texture has a melted ice cream nuance. Body is full and ends rich. Somehow it doesn’t become cloying.

16 oz can. Aroma has aroma similar to papaya and guava fruit with mild earthiness. Flavor follows. A pretty good amount of juice with a mild bitterness. A little sweet but enough bitterness for balance. Well rounded NEIPA.

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.

Can pour from The Beer Store, Salem. Clear amber with quickly fading cap of head. Aroma is strong bready malt, suggestion of toffee. Taste is rich bready, lightly caramel malt. Smooth, fairly thin, soft carbonation. Good for style.

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.
