 Gritty
McDuff
's
Real
Ales
Ever
since
we
opened
our
first
brewery
in
Portland,
Maine
on
December
21,
1988,
native
Mainers
and
visitors
from
around
the
world
have
enjoyed
our
fresh,
handcrafted,
traditional
ales
that
never
travel
more
than
thirty
feet
from
the
brewery
to
your
glass.
We
brew
in
the
traditional
English
fashion,
using
only
barley,
wheat,
hops
and
pure
water.
Our
yeast
culture
is
a
centuries-old
strain
developed
by
monks
in
the
north
of
England.
Gritty's
ales
are
brewed
in
accordance
with
ancient
purity
laws
-
no
additives
or
preservatives!

Original
Pub
Style
A
Classic
Maine
Pale
Ale
-
Now
in
6-Packs!
Gritty
McDuff's
Brewing
Company
is
pleased
to
announce
the
release
of
Gritty's
Original
Pub
Style,
a
classic
pale
ale
from
Maine's
original
brew
pub.
Original
Pub
Style
harkens
back
to
the
very
first
brews
Gritty's
produced
at
our
Portland
Brew
Pub
back
in
1988.
"We
wanted
to
make
a
beer
that
captures
what
made
people
fall
in
love
with
craft
brewing
in
the
first
place;
a
fresh,
classic
pale
ale
with
plenty
of
hop
character."
says
Brewmaster
Ed
Stebbins.
"This
is
the
kind
of
beer
that
really
started
the
whole
Maine
brewing
revolution."
Original
Pub
Style
is
a
light
copper-colored
medium-bodied
with
a
nice
dry
bite
at
the
finish.
A
subtle
combination
of
Cascade
and
Willamette
hops
give
this
ale
a
fine
floral
aroma
and
a
slightly
fruity
aftertaste.
The
taste
captures
the
freshness
of
a
hand-crafted
brew
pub
ale
that
goes
right
from
the
conditioning
tank
to
your
glass!
Original
Pub
Style
is
a
year-round
release
available
in
six
and
twelve
packs
all
over
the
great
state
of
Maine,
and
on
draft
at
Gritty's
Portland
and
Freeport
brew
pubs.

Halloween
Ale
Halloween
Ale
started
out
as
a
small
batch,
cask-conditioned
seasonal
in
our
Portland
Brew
pub
back
in
1990.
The
response
was
overwhelming
and
production
has
increased
every
year
since.
With
the
opening
of
our
Freeport
brew
pub
in
1995,
we
started
brewing
Halloween
Ale
in
both
cask-conditioned
and
draft
styles,
as
well
as
packaging
the
ale
in
mini-kegs,
22
oz
bottles
and
kegs
for
off-premise
and
retail
distribution.
In
2002
we
revamped
the
logo
and
released
Halloween
Ale
in
six-packs
all
over
the
great
state
of
Maine
Halloween
Ale
is
rich,
full-bodied
E.S.B.
that's
just
a
bit
sweet
and
toasty
on
the
palate,
with
a
medium-dry
and
slightly
floral
finish.

E.S.B.
(Extra

This

a
lovely,

and
a

our

this

Scottish
Ale
Gritty
McDuff
's
Scottish
Ale
is
our
interpretation
of
the
robust
brews
native
to
Scotland.
Generous
quantities
of
Pale
malt
along
with
Munich
and
Caramalts
give
this
ale
a
deep
and
complex
profile.
Scottish
Ale
is
just
a
shade
darker
than
our
Bitter,
with
a
rich,
slightly
sweet
first
impression
on
the
palate
that
rounds
out
to
a
satisfying
maltiness
and
a
medium-dry
hop
finish.
At
6.3%
ABV
itıs
hearty
but
not
overwhelming.
Sure
to
please
the
Braveheart
in
all
of
us!
(Available
on
draft,
in
22
oz
bottles
and
5
liter
Mini-kegs
from
Januray
through
April.
Kilt
sold
separately.)
