1. Bissell Brothers Brewing Company
Portland, Maine, United States
Bissell Brothers was born out of a desire to make something from our deepest interests and passions that would become a separate entity; greater than the individual sums of its creators. We believe that great beer comes from a commitment to be constantly challenging the perceptions of what different styles of beers can actually become. The second we settle, the second we say that a beer has been taken as far as it can go, we start losing. The proverbial mountaintop exists only in our minds. Always be climbing, always be pushing forward. The next, and equally important commitment, is to the process. There is serenity to be found in even the most menial, repetitive task. There are always ways to improve yourself and your methods, hiding just below the surface. The parties, jokes, and fun we seem to be having? We have created our own world in which to reside, and we love sharing it with all those that want to partake. I promise you, there is no greater joy, professionally. The painfully fleeting span of the human life is much too short and precious to spend it being anything less than the best you can possibly be in your chosen vocation. We love the work we do, for its own sake. We spend every day trying to get better, and we treat the opportunity to give this beer to the people of Maine every week as the gift that it is. Thank you for drinking.
2. Belleflower Brewing
Portland, Maine, United States
Belleflower is co-owned by the Page and Bonadies families. Our collaboration started ten years ago when Zach and Nick met as homebrewers who volunteered to help launch Trillium Brewing Company. After moving to Portland with his family, Zach worked at Lone Pine Brewing Company where he facilitated their expansion and brewed some great beers. Nick coordinated Trillium's expansion projects before combining creative energies with Zach, Melissa, and Katie to bring you Belleflower Brewing Company. Zach and Nick bring a combined fifteen + years of brewing and operations experience in the craft beer industry to Belleflower and co-lead both. Melissa is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition and manages Belleflower's food programs. Katie is a writer working for nearby artist studios and provides the creative direction behind Belleflower's voice. Belleflower is named after Nick’s family farm, which has been a gathering place for generations of family and friends for the past two centuries. Named for a beloved apple tree that fell many years ago, the trunk of the "belleflower tree" has since been repurposed as a decorative beam in the barn. Today it is a reminder of the enduring grit and ingenuity of New Englanders. Like the generations that came before us and the breweries that have raised us, Belleflower Brewing Company hopes to continue this legacy by creating a gathering place for many more generations to love.
