After a few years of home brewing in our garage, my brother and I decided we should open a brewery so that we could share our beer. In 2009, we started with a one barrel system and worked on a single recipe, over and over, until Peeper was born.

And now we have enough to share.

Aromas of peach, orange, lemon, grapefruit, and melon. Notes of pine, raspberry, and strawberry. Underlying malt grain sweetness.

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.
