Black Bear Microbrew Video
Chris Bagley, a student at the University of Maine’s New Media program, recently finished a video he made about Black Bear Microbrew. We are privileged to share this video with you. Please enjoy it, and let us know what you think!
Cheers!
Black Demon Stout available
If you haven’t had any yet, stop by your local Black Bear retailer and pick up a growler of our popular winter seasonal, Black Demon Stout. This dark and roasty ale is sure to keep you company on these cold winter nights.
If you’ve already seen Black Demon Stout in the store, make sure you pick some up. This beer is only available in the winter, and spring is just around the corner.
Cheers!
Fresh Hop Ale
Just brewed a fresh hop ale with organic, locally grown Cascade hops. 15 pounds of hops were picked and delivered on brew day and then went straight into the beer. This beer can only be brewed once a year during harvest and will always be unique. It is best when fresh. Harvest Ale will be available locally on draft and in Growlers and 22 oz bottles FRESH FROM THE BREWERY. Growlers available at Burby and Bates.
Harvest IPA will be available soon so don’t miss it!
