Monday November 8th we release the first batch of Little Whaleboat IPA, our beer named after the Little Whaleboat Islands, a cluster of three small islands and ledges in Casco Bay, that Maine Coast Heritage Trust is raising funds to purchase and conserve. Little Whaleboat IPA is a new addition to our lineup meant to further support MCHT’s fundraising and to raise awareness for their work protecting Maine’s coast.

Little Whaleboat is a 6.5% IPA featuring Citra, Mosaic, Columbus, and Talus hops, and local Maine Malt House and Blue Ox Malthouse malted grains. The result is a light-bodied IPA with notes of tropical fruit (mango, pineapple), grapefruit, pine, and floral aromas of rose and chamomile. It will be released in bottles and on draft exclusively from the Maine Beer Company tasting room.
