Bissell Brothers Brewing Company
Bissell Brothers Brewing Company was founded in 2013 by brothers Noah and Peter Bissell in Portland, Maine, after Noah's homebrewing hobby grew into a commercial vision. The brewery sold its first kegs of its signature Substance Ale at The Thirsty Pig on December 7, 2013, quickly generating a fervent following in the Portland beer scene. In 2016, Bissell Brothers moved its production into a renovated 100-year-old former railcar repair building at Thompson's Point, which also houses a large taproom. The brewery has grown into a multifaceted hospitality destination and is widely regarded as one of Maine's premier craft breweries.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
