Tintypes by Jay Gould (PLEASE NOTE: We are not normally this serious.....the pose took 50 seconds and we were very focused on not blinking). Thank you Jay for sharing your photography talents and creating such a memorable experience!
OAFB's mission is to create beer that refreshes, and sustains the hardworking body and mind. As a result our farmhouse ales focuses on the honesty of the product, variability of the seasons, locality and purity of the ingredients.
When Odd Alewives Farm Brewery founders John and Sarah McNeil decided to open a brewery, they did so with the motivation to create a unique and engaging beer experience that would combine their talents as brewers, farmers, and artists. After much searching they found the perfect farm, within the historic midcoast Maine village of Waldoboro. The newly renovated 1820’s barn, which now houses the brewery and tasting room, is surrounded by 22+ acres of gardens and forest and offers visitors a beautiful rural setting to gather and celebrate. We grow a variety of hops, fruit, herbs and even vegetables all for beer production, ingredients not produced on the farm are sourced locally within the state, so as to capture the taste of a true Maine farmhouse ale.
This means that all of our beers are at least 95% all Maine ingredients with many already reaching 100%. We think supporting local Maine farms and agriculture is the right thing to do and is at the heart of our own business.
As one of the only farm breweries in the state we are proud to be brewing Maine beer with Maine ingredients and we hope that by taking action , and being an active agent in growing and purchasing local agriculture, it will help to open more doors and opportunities for other farmers and breweries down the road.
