Maine Big Night is a community science project with eyes on responsible stewardship of the amphibian ecosystem. After a long winter of hiding beneath leaves, soil, and logs, many amphibians will re-emerge when night temperatures reach approximately 40°F and the ground is soaked in rain. Each year, hundreds of volunteers assemble across the state when the conditions are right, to ensure safe highway crossings for species like Spotted Salamanders and Spring Peepers. mainebignight.org

Our Story 2025 4

In 2009, we opened shop on Industrial Way in Portland. We had a one barrel brew house. The term nano brewery was not even around yet, as far as I know. A brewery had not been started in Maine for a long time.

Our plan was to do one beer really well to start. Make only beer that we want to drink, period. No market research. Do it, do it well. If they drink it, great. If they don’t, we go back to our day jobs.

We worked on a single recipe. Over and over and over and over. Spring Peeper Ale (now Peeper) was born.

I hit the streets with a small, cheap cooler filled with our beer.

Door to door I went. Sometimes my young daughter, Zoe, would come along.
