Strong Brewing Company

  Our third Maine Beer Trail stop from our epic beer tasting trip Downeast was located in Sedgwick, Maine. The drive from Ellsworth to Sedgwick was a breathtakingly beautiful one winding down country roads and through small villages. Strong Brewing Company is located in a quiet, rural setting and well worth the drive.

Lise, Erin and myself purchased a flight of five different beers to share and sample and headed outside on this splendid Maine summer evening to one of the available picnic tables.

While we were enjoying the setting and the fine beer, Lise noticed some tubs full of spent grains. She disappeared and came back a few minutes later and headed for the car. Erin and I watched as she walked back towards us with some plastic bags. 

She had talked to the owner/brewer and asked what he was doing with grains. She explained that my son raises chickens and she thought they would enjoy the grains. He invited her to take what she wanted and she was right. The chickens love the grains. Here she is bagging up some grain.

Getting back to the beer, Lise liked the Soulpatch Porter, Erin's favorite was the Bale O' Hay IPA and I enjoyed the Kickin Bock.
