Bangor Greendrinks at Hampden Natural Foods

June 9th, 2010

Black Bear Microbrew attended Bangor Greendrinks last night at Hampden Natural Foods.

From Maine Buzz:

Greendrinkers were tempted with food by Ann Marie’s Kitchen and locally produced Cupelo wine and Black Bear Brewery beer. It was a great turnout and I for one look forward to attending more of these fun events. If you love the environment mark your calendars for the next Greendrinks event: July 6th. Place is TBD. Check out the Bangor Greendrinks on facebook and get involved!

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

holding fresh hopsJust 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 BREWERY002_2.  Growlers available at Burby and Bates.

Harvest IPA will be available soon so don’t miss it!
