Maine Beer Company
BBE Altbier Ale

Black Barn Exclusives

LIMITED RELEASE
Available on tap & in bottles in our tasting room

Refreshingly crisp, this is no lager! An Altbier, much like a Kölsch, is a cold-stored ale that lets the subtlety of its ingredients shine with its simplicity. This is a beer for those who enjoy the crisp bite of fresh apple cider, the smell of warm brown bread straight from the oven, or the harmony of cherry and chocolate in a cordial cherry.

Brown bread, cherry, prune, caramel, walnut, red apple, pine.
Perle (GER), Spalter Select (GER)
Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner (Weyermann, GER), Caramunich (Weyermann, GER), Debittered Black (Dingemans, BEL)

Black Barn Exclusives

Black Barn Exclusives showcase the creativity of our team while providing space to learn and experiment. New recipes, techniques, and ideas are explored with the highest commitment to quality.

"I delight at the sight of the black barn as a building, as a passageway to some of the best pale ales and IPAs on the planet. But it’s also a portal to a funhouse version of this beloved brewery’s beers – a playground of stylistic interpretations executed with care and skill, as we’ve come to expect from Maine Beer Co." – Ben Lisle, Portland Press Herald
