about bigelow brewing

FOCUSED ON OUR COMMUNITY, DOING WHAT WE LOVE

LOCAL AND LOVIN’ IT

Bigelow Brewing Company believes that beer should be about a place. We make beer for our community, from our community. We strive to use all local ingredients from local providers, in harmony with our patrons’ pride and sense of ownership of where we live. We are deeply committed to brewing beer from products grown in Maine, resulting in beers whose unique flavors can be replicated nowhere else. Our hope is that this commitment will not only strengthen our local economy, but that our beer’s unique character will draw customers to seek us out.

THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

Who We Are

Founded in 2013, Bigelow Brewing Company is an equal partnership with Jeff as brewmaster, Pam as the visionary, and together, taking care of everything in between. Our brewery filled a void in Somerset County for a community-focused, friendly, and accessible craft brewery dedicated to locally sourced products and superior quality. We believe that success begins at home. Bigelow beer is brewed with pride in Maine from products grown right here in Maine and the desire to support our community doesn’t stop there. From the landscaping materials, wood fired pizza oven, our signature, locally sourced spent grain pizza dough and locally sourced ingredients, we strive to support Maine businesses whenever possible. Though brewing started as a hobby for Jeff, Bigelow has blossomed and flourished over the last seven years to become both a warm gathering place, and a successful craft brewery distributing to over 700 locations across the state of Maine.

Great experience and great atmosphere!

Dana – Digital Marketer

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BIGELOW?

I was originally hired to fill a kitchen position but I also was able to fill the not-yet-established social media/marketing position, which was my end goal anyway!

Favorite style of beer?

I don’t discriminate. I gravitate towards hoppy ones, though.

Favorite Bigelow Beer?

Dementia Dog but it makes me make too many typos when I’m trying to work. Jailbreak Chocolate Chili Stout is my alternate when I’m in the mood.

Favorite non-Bigelow Beer?

I like to try whatever is most funky, unique, or new to me when I’m out and about. Boomsauce by Lord Hobo is usually my go-to otherwise.

Most Likely to be overheard?

“WAIT. Lemme take a picture!”
