Description
Oxbow is a small farmhouse brewery located in rural Newcastle, Maine. The brewery is nestled in an enchanted forest amongst rolling farmlands and winding tidal rivers, of which the ebb and flow provide a constant reminder that the coast is near.
The name Oxbow is inspired by the bends in these rivers, the Dyer in particular, which features stunning horseshoe-shaped oxbows where the river covers tremendous ground to travel what could otherwise be a very short linear distance. We employ a similar approach when crafting our beers, taking months or years to create a beverage that is commonly produced in a matter of days.

On tap at Proletariat, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma has bright, dry apricots, wild bugs, hay, and some light acidity. Flavour is dry and gently acidic, with tons of juicy, dry apricot, hay, and finishing citrusy. Nice use of the apricot without being too acidic. Excellent.

Grapefruit bretta. Golden pour with decent soap bubbles. Light tart finish. Pleasant, easy drinking beer from reliable saison factory.

Single from Churchkey. Pint glass at home. Hazy honey gold pour. Strong, off-white, lumpy head. Herbal, spiced, floral, very Wit-like nose. Bittersweet herbal, grape ale, wax, chewy grain, lingering clove. Fuzzy, waxy, yeasty texture, a bit of heat. Just a little too heavy. Good-ish.

Pour is a complete black with a large mocha tan head. Aroma is a nice combo of roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Flavor is a super bitter chocolate and roasted malt. Not a huge mouthfeel but the flavor is all there. Another flavorful beer from this brewer.
