    Hello folks,
    I've seen a recent thread about The Lion's Pride and the brewing endeavors happening there. So here's what we can tell you so far:

    Soon we won't be The Lion's Pride anymore. We'll be Ebenezer's Brewpub instead! Lively Brewing Company abuts our building, and we'll be serving their beer in the brewpub.

    There are several people and friends involved in the brewing process. Mike LaCharitie is the Chief Brewer in Charge along with Craig Dilger, Chris Lively, and Ken Smith along with some other breweries.

    Our first beers will be available Feb.21st : "Butch" our Mild Session Beer, Proper English ESB, Little Black Nuggets Porter, and Lemon Haze our Saison. 3-4 weeks afterwards we'll release our Red IPA made with 5 C's, Super Lemon Haze (our Super Saison) and then AL. After that, the Belgian Monsters will come out followed by a Ninja or maybe a Unicorn from Chicago. We think.

    Prices for most of our beers will be $4 each by the pint, and we're going to start a very limited Snifter Club.

    And our first bottle release: The East Coast Wonder...... will be very delicious, extremely limited, and even more controversial. You're going to want one of these bottles. Trust us.

    Can't wait until next week, this has been a long time coming! Now if you only bring back the Allagash pulled pork sandwich and the Roquefort lamb burger...

    Hey guys, unfortunately our brew schedule got pushed back due to some labeling issues..BUT.. that's only going to delay us by a couple of weeks I think.......we're working on the lamb burger again.....and yes, the Allagash Samich....so let's look to around March 8th for the first releases....as for the bottles release we haven't quite figured that part out yet...its gonna get messy. Btw, Aliens are coming.

    Enjoyed Butch and Hester, but really hoping to see an American Wild Ale along the lines of Prairie 'Merica or Allagash Interlude. Any such plans?

    Thank you for the compliments, we think they came out very nicely. Going on tap next is our ESB and Lemon Haze Saison...followed by our Super Robust Porter....and man it's ROBUST!!!

    We've added 4 Oak barrels that Allagash was kind enough to clean and sell to us, so yes, their will be some barrel aging and we plan on working with a Brett strain or 2.

    We'll be brewing our "Super Saison" and a Trippel in the very near future along with more classic styles. We understand in this day and age that Hops, barrel aging, Wild-sour beers, and hybrids are important to beer drinkers, but we are indeed focusing on bringing sexy back with the classic styles too. We looooooooveeee the classics.

    And if you do stop by the brewpub...don't sleep on that ESB :wink:

    The taste of Lemon Haze was inspiring - looking forward to you guys really bringing it. Congrats on the first batches, and cheers to your collective future!

    My driveway is almost clear of snow, so perhaps I can make my way to Brunswick.
    Is any of this available in Lovell?
    Cheers

    Hey Jeff,
    We are starting to keg tomorrow, so start looking for those beers at Ebs in another week or two.
