Freeport, ME - 7% ABV

Maine Beer Company was established in 2009 by two brothers, David and Daniel Kleban. From day one, they knew they wanted Maine Beer Company to be a certain kind of company, and set a mission to do what’s right no matter what. That vision includes donating 1% of MBC’s annual gross sales to environmental nonprofits, providing generous benefits for employees, and investing in a solar energy project for the brewery. And to top it all off, of course they make a concise lineup of great beers, mostly specializing in hoppy American ales.

'Lunch' is actually the name of a local whale frequently spotted off the coast of Maine, named so because she has what looks like a bite taken out of her fin. Maine Beer Company's 'Lunch' IPA is an homage to her determination and persistence. Lunch is a great traditional American IPA, with bitter hoppiness balanced by a subtly sweet malt character.

Maine Beer Company is known for consistency, and Lunch is no exception - this beer never disappoints. You'll find tons of tropical (think guava) and citrus (grapefruit, orange, lemon) flavors and aromas, which perhaps would pair perfectly with profound year-end self-reflection. There's never a better time than the holidays to focus on what truly matters in life, and it's never a bad time to Do What's Right.

Cheers!
