What’s special about brewing beer in Maine, and what’s the Maine beer scene like?īrewing beer in Maine is phenomenal-we have such great colleagues at the other breweries around the state, all brewing top notch beers, we have incredible water, and most importantly because we have amazingly passionate and supportive beer drinkers. (You can find Rising Tide Brewing on 103 Fox Street in Portland) Our brewery has always been in Portland, but we moved to our current location in March of 2012. How long have you been in your current space in Portland?
At any given time we might have as much as 412 barrels of beer in fermentation-that's about 100,000 pints of beer. Now we have a team of 20, brew 15 barrels at a time and up to 45 barrels in a day. I started the brewery with just myself and a 1 barrel (31 gallon) system-I could brew only 1 barrel of beer at a time and had fermentation capacity for about 12 barrels of beer. When you first started in 2010, how big was your operation/team/brewing capacity? What’s it like now? One of their most popular seasonal beers, the Maine Island Trail Ale, releases tomorrow. Nathan had been experimenting with brewing for more than a decade before setting out on his formal adventure at Rising Tide, and now has a sizable production going on. After stopping by Rising Tide Brewing in Portland earlier this winter on a drive up to Sugarloaf, we decided to chat with Nathan Sanborn, founder and director of brewing there.
