It’s Red Claws Season!
The season is underway and we’ve got the perfect beer to match. Gritty McDuff’s Red Claws Ale, the official beer of Maine Red Claws Basketbal. Gritty McDuff ‘s Red Claws Ale is a what the Brits call a fine session beer: a smooth ale, not too strong and full of flavor. Red Claws Ale has a dark red-amber color; a full, round malt palate; nutty and roasted accents, and a delicate hop flavor that whispers with just a hint of floral finish. The perfect ale for a long afternoon in the pub with good friends and traditional fare.

Abram’s Ale is back! Smooth and cold like the snow on Mt. Abram’s! This nitro-charged red ale is one of the season’s best beers. Going on tap after Thanksgiving at Mt Abram’s and at a handful of bars in greater Portland and in the mid-coast area! www.mtabram.com
