About
Barreled Souls Brewing Co. is owned and operated by Chris Schofield and Matthew Mills. Chris and Matt both grew up in Wells, ME and have been friends since the fourth grade. The idea of opening a brewery together came up many times over the years, usually while imbibing on some stellar examples of the craft. The conversation got serious in the summer of 2012 and two years later Barreled Souls was open for business.

Matt and Chris set out to create the kind of beers they would want to drink and the kind of brewery they would want to spend time at. This meant focusing on making a large variety of beers, using unique ingredients and processes paired with a large, comfortable and professionally run tasting room that carries 12 varieties on draft.

The brewery operates a fifty gallon brewing system. All of the beer produced at the brewery undergoes primary fermentation in oak barrels. The fermentation system is based off of the Burton Union system, which was a method of fermenting beer developed in England in the 1800’s. The benefits of this system are really three-fold.

4 oz. draft at the brewery. The flavor has tons of tropical, long lasting fruit, earthy/ danky galaxy, green leafy hops. Appropriate lighter body and juicy texture! Active engaging carbonation level. The best beer of the taste of flight hands down.

4 oz. draft at the brewery. Aroma and flavor are pretty good. Flavor is mild floral, tropical fruit, mango, medium pine like bitterness. Steady bitterness that also is complemented by lots of bready malt. Bitterness is borderline astringent. Honestly, about average overall.

Superman Punch from Barreled Souls Brewing Company

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
4 oz. draft at the brewery. Bright red color that does indeed look like Kool-Aid. Aroma smells identical to Tropical Punch Kool-Aid. Interesting Gatorade flavor (sort of like the powdered Gatorade mix). Lots of salinity. Lighter body, It kind of works. But with such a high amount of salt, probably could drink a 16 oz. can alone.
