After 10 years you get a little dusty, so we are hitting refresh on the draft lineup this Saturday. Stay tuned, because there is more to come tomorrow.

Feeny - DIPA - 8% - Cryo Mosaic and oodles of Citra. This one taught us a thing or two.

Heirloom 45 - Malt Liquor - 6% - We used heirloom corn from our friends & to create the malt liquor we all wished we could drink in our 20’s.

Hai Ikki - Rice Saison with secondary fermentation in neutral white wine barrels with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis for months and months and months - 6% - Funky pineapple and the good part of coconut. Very limited.

See you Saturday!

Certain things you can’t put into words. Things like the gratitude we feel coming on a decade in the beer biz. Fortunately, our living isn’t putting things into words, it’s pouring them into steins and stanges, packing them into kegs and cans. Fortunately, you’ve always been there to walk through our doors, sit on our benches, and enjoy those things. More importantly, enjoy each other. For TEN years, you’ve been doing it and that’s something to celebrate. Which we will.

We start on Saturday. We’ve got special things in the works.

Cheers to 10 years. Thank you for getting us here.

**One One-of-a-kind Zine from the illustrious

**And one 4-pack of the featured Brown Ale

All for twenty-five smack-a-roos (which is to say, dollars)

📝FLASH POETRY COMPETITION 📝

As we kick off , we are excited to reprise our collaboration with celebrating the prolific South Berwick poet and novelist, Sarah Orne Jewett, with our second annual Flash Poetry Competition. A noted realist and regionalist, SOJ captured Maine’s coastal life through richly drawn characters and natural settings. Her writing emphasized nature and human connection, and we are calling on all inspired poets to create a work exploring this year’s theme, “Strangers,” in 65 words or less.

This year’s judges include the infamous and Portsmouth’s Poet Laurete . Winners will receive cash prizes and the Grand Prize Poem will be featured on the 2027 can design of Deephaven, a helles lager brewed with New England-grown malt and hops.

The Flash Poetry Competition is part of a broader effort to spotlight overlooked voices through art and storytelling. Follow the link in the bio for the submission form. Deadline for submisions is April 20th and all entrants are invited to attend our Poems + Pints event on April 29th, where finalists will not only be announced, but encouraged to read their submissions.

It’s collab time once again with the head master himself . This friday (3.27) we’ll be throwing a Zine & Beer Release Party (woohoo!) featuring a limited-run, one-of-a-kind Russ Pope art zine, and a limited-run, one-of-a-kind brown ale, The Beer You Can Drink All Day & All Night…which is precisely how we intend to spend our Friday.

Swing by anytime, day or night, and you may even catch Russ to sign your print or sketch your noggin.
