Maine Beer Company
Maine Beer Company was founded in 2009 by brothers David and Daniel Kleban, opening on Industrial Way in Portland, Maine, with a one-barrel brewhouse. The brothers set out to create a company driven by purpose — donating 1% of gross annual sales to environmental nonprofits through the 1% For The Planet program from the very start. After outgrowing the Portland facility, Maine Beer Company moved to a new brewery in Freeport in 2013 and completed a larger production facility there in 2018. Their first beer, Peeper Ale, remains a core offering, and the brewery is well regarded for hop-forward ales including the widely sought Lunch IPA.

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.
