Small Batch Brew – Gritty’s Dunkel Lager
Gritty’s Freeport Head Brewer Greg Sansone is pleased to annouce this year’s small batch lager, Gritty’s Dunkel. Dunkel is a German-style dark lager, true to the kind of beers that have been brewed in central Europe for centuries. Gritty’s Dunkel has a rich, brown color and a full flavor with just a hint of hops. Head to Gritty’s Freeport to enjoy this handcrafted small batch brew while it lasts!

The Gritty Silo Arrives in Freeport
A big day for our biggest brewery! After months of bureaucratic wrangling and burnt offerings to the gods of paperwork, Gritty’s Freeport brewery has installed its own grain silo. What does this mean for you and your humble pint? More economical and efficient production helps us hold line on costs; an increasingly important concern with worldwide grain prices going through the roof. Check out the pics>>

New Small Batch Brew - Rye PA
Brewer Ben Low’s latest small batch creation is Rye PA, a strong, deep amber ale made with 12% rye malt for a truly unique flavor. Here’s what Ben has to say about it:
“It’s got about 12% Rye Malt, which should give a really distinctive flavor. I’m expecting some pepper-like spiciness. It’s a pretty strong beer, finishing up somewhere around 6.3% ABV. It’s also a fairly hoppy beer, with a lot more late-addition aroma hops than we usually use. The aroma hops are Cascade and Saaz (the Cascade is to give it some American IPA flavor, the Saaz to complement the spiciness of the rye). It will also be dry-hopped in the conditioning tank with Cascade and Saaz.”

Maine has been featured as “A State of Bliss” in Saveur magazine’s 100 Favorite Foods, Restaurants, Drinks, People, Places and Things.
Among the highlights were local chef, Sam Hayward of Fore Street and Gritty McDuff’s Best Brown Ale. “It’s nice to see Portland receive recognition for its rich culinary community,” said Mayor Ed Suslovic. “Perhaps one of Maine and Portland’s best kept secrets is the availability of fresh, locally-grown produce and it was good to see that the prevalence of farmers’ markets in the area did not go unnoticed by Saveur,” said Suslovic. Published by the Bonnier Corp., Saveur, a food and wine magazine, each year produces a top-100 magazine.
