BANDED BEERS

Veridian

IPA // 6%

With us since the very beginning, our flagship IPA balances everyday drinkability with a full-flavor hop profile. A hazy and heavenly experience with a soft, smooth mouthfeel.

Banded Pilsner

German-style Pilsner // 5.4%

Snappy, crisp, and refined. We took our time developing this one. We sampled countless hop varietals, traveled to Germany to find just the right malts, and balanced everything to suit our Saco River water. A style this classic leaves no room for error, and we have fine-tuned this recipe into a beer that we are incredibly proud to call our Banded Pilsner.
