Friendsgiving 2021!
It’s Friendsgiving season! After a challenging couple of years, in which we didn’t get to spend nearly as much with our friends as we wanted, it’s time to raise a glass to the family you choose while helping a great cause.
We’ll be celebrating Friendsgiving at both of our tasting rooms on Saturday, November 20th. A list of beers from friends of ours all over the Northeast will be pouring:
From Vitamin Sea Brewing: Greetings From Weymouth IPA, Due North IPA
From Hoof Hearted: Dragonsaddle Triple IPA
From Equilibrium Brewing: Double Fractal Gosper Island Double IPA
From Proclamation Ale Company: Proc Circles American Lager
From Other Half Brewing Company: Mosaic Dream
Because any holiday ending in “Giving” should include just that, we’ll have a special coat and food drive set up at each tasting room to benefit organizations that support those in need in our communities. Bring in a donation item and get entered into a raffle to win swag! Please make sure donated items are in good, useable condition.
In Freeport, donations will go to Freeport Community Services, an organization that provides essential and emergency relief services to community members in need, in total confidence, without question – food, fuel, transportation, referrals, free medical equipment.
Freeport Community Services has requested donations of hats, mittens, socks, jackets, and canned food.

Collections from Westbrook will support Maine Needs. Maine Needs strives to help individuals and families in Maine meet their basic, material needs by providing donated clothing, hygiene products, household items, and other necessities.
Maine Needs is looking for winter coats and boots, snowpants, waterproof mittens, warm hats, wool socks, and new underwear.

On the food side - of course, we’ll be ready for you. In Westbrook, Chef Tim will be getting festive with specials from the Mainstay Kitchen, and our food partner in Freeport, Nighthawk’s Kitchen, is another friend of ours that will be joining the celebration with their wonderful creations.
Above all, Friendsgiving is an earnest celebration of our community. Through great times and hard times, we stick together, and you all have shown us that as we’ve navigated every twist and turn of the past 5 and a half years. We look forward to raising a glass with you while giving love back to those around us. Cheers!
