"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

Our Black Barn Program is about creativity, learning, and challenging our team to brew the highest quality beer.

Stemming from our pilot program, this series of beers allows our brewers to work with new styles/recipes, new ingredients, and new processes.

Each beer goes through extensive lab testing and our robust sensory program in order to comply with our belief in quality over quantity. Black Barn beers are brewed on our 15BBL brewhouse and will be available in bottles and on draft exclusively in our tap room.
