Description
The Atlantic Brewing Company began as Acadia Brewing in 1990. At first the brewery was located inside the Lompoc Cafe in downtown Bar Harbor and had a maximum capacity of just one barrel at a time. Within a few years the demand for our beers had grown so much that we moved the brewery two doors down from the restaurant and increased our capacity to seven-barrel batches. However, by 1998, we had outgrown that facility as well and so we moved again – this time to our current location on the Knox Road. Our estate brewery was built on the grounds of a 19th century Maine farmstead, that employs native vegetation and local stonework.

Atlantic Brewing Company has created a site to develop new and exciting small batch beers only seven barrels at a time. This pilot facility allows fellow brewers from around the state, country, and world to collaborate on unique recipes and formulations in a shared environment. These brews, together with Atlantic small batch beer, are offered in a tasting room setting. Flights, large pours, and growlers are available for purchase at the bar.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark ruby color with a small head. The aroma is odd, with maybe some infection notes... tart, nutty and with a bandaid note. Taste is caramel, nuts, toffee and that bandaid thing. Medium bodied.

12oz bottle. Pours a thick amber brown color. Great blueberry aroma. The blueberries are in the forefront of the taste, but there is a solid malt backbone as well. A nice, classy East Coast Blueberry Ale.
