Definitive Brewing Company was founded in 2017 by a group of friends and family, all with ties to Lake Cobbosseecontee in Manchester, Maine. What began as a shared passion among a close-knit circle has grown into an independently owned and operated craft brewery with a recognizable presence in the state of Maine. The brewery is known for its creative and eclectic approach to brewing, offering a rotating lineup that spans a wide range of styles. Guests can expect everything from IPAs and sour ales to pale ales and malty lagers, with new releases dropping weekly. Signature beers include the Kolsch-style Contee — a nod to the lake that inspired the brewery's founding — as well as adventurous releases like a Vanilla Superdome Milkshake DIPA brewed with lactose, vanilla sugar, and extra vanilla beans. Definitive Brewing operates cozy taproom locations in Portland and Kittery, Maine, as well as an outpost at Sunday River. Their taprooms offer around ten draught beers on rotation, making each visit a fresh experience. Whether you're after a sessionable lager for a summer day on the lake or a bold, experimental double IPA, Definitive Brewing Company has built a reputation for delivering both approachable and boundary-pushing craft beer.
