Just arrived in time for summer Number 4- Meadow Road Wheat Beer.  It is true to the Hefeweizen tradition of being unfiltered.  It uses only malted wheat, lager malt, a top fermenting Bavarian yeast, and is lightly hopped with Tettnang.   It has a beautiful medium-golden yeasty haze with a bright palate.  The nose has notes of clove and honeysuckle coming through a background of bananas.

Our brewing history and info:
It was started in January 2009 and our first batch was bottled appropriately on March 17th,  St Patty's Day.  Old Factory Whistle , our signature ale, is patterned after red ales that have a rich Scottish heritage.  It has 6.2% alcohol.  This ale utilizes crystal, pale, chocolate and Munich malts with a dose of roasted barley resulting in a complex mixture of the toasty flavors of caramel malt and sweetness, and a classic rich red color.  English Kent Golding hops add to the depth and help produce that pleasing balance.  Our following batches have been well received and enjoyed.   Come sample some and take it home for you to continue the flavors.  Old Factory Whistle - 3 Long Toots and You're Done For the Day.
Our second ale we have is great for summer but refreshing any time - Whig Street Blond Ale.   It's name is derived from the street that our building is on in downtown Winterport but it's character is taken from the soft and delicate flavors and aromas it has.  The artwork on the label, done by our daughter-in-law Rachael Anderson is evocative of a summer night walk and a cool refreshing drink to enjoy with it.  It has 4.2% alcohol. The taste is uncomplicated and clean,  It is made from pale malt, a handful of malted wheat and finished with Perle hops for bittering and Cascade for aroma.  It's an easy drinking, comfortable ale for those lazy days and laid-back nights.

Try our our third brew - Half Moon Stout.  It is at 5.5% alcohol and is based on a old porter recipe described as brave, proud or "Stout".  A one hour mash of pale, crystal, chocolate and wheat malts, and a large portion of roasted barley yield this dark, full-bodied stout with a heavy aroma of fresh roasted coffee.  The mild Fuggles hops balances the bitterness.  It is smooth and has a long lasting creamy head - an outstanding stout.
