"Bangor natives Cory Ricker and Jerry Robichaud got together in the spring of 2016 to form a partnership to bring a small brewery to downtown Bangor.

After months of hard work and renovations, we opened our doors at 80 Columbia St. on Oct. 13, 2016 with six craft beers on tap, and a selection of baked finger foods.

Our signature beer is the Barn Burner, a roasted jalapeno-ghost pepper saison made by Cory that is hot, but it’s not “in your face” hot -- it’s just delicious. We have heard numerous times over the last year about how the Barn Burner is the best in its league.

The Mada Porter, a porter made with Madagascar vanilla, and Jerry’s Java are two favorites made by Jerry, who specializes in the darks but also makes a killer Downtown Quencher, which is a grapefruit shandy.

While we keep Barn Burner on tap all the time, over our first year we’ve made nearly 40 different brews, including a couple sours, and several unique beers that include the Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Stout we call “I’m a little pumpkin short and stout,” and a Banana Bread that will be returning. We’re also doing a “Series of Unfortunate IPAs,” so there is usually a pale ale on tap for all you hop heads.

“We have something for everyone,” Cory says."
