A look into local cider production🍎 We pressed these apples featured in this story into what will be our hot mulled non-alc. cider for FOGTOBERFEST, Oct. 3rd “The importance for me is that it’s the unique flavors of Downeast Maine, not only hyper-regional but also hyper-seasonal,” Stein explained. “Especially in a world where so many things are mass produced or produced very far away from where they’re being consumed — to have something that is a closed loop system within 10-miles radius, it just feels very special and important, and I try to do my best to communicate that and get people to be excited about tasting something that came from so close.” Fogtown Owner, Jon Stein Photo cred: Emily Niedermeyer @ellsworth_american More info at EllsworthAmerican.comFOGTOBERFEST IS NEXT WEEKEND! In the meantime, enjoy some highlights from Fogtoberfests past. Fogtoberfest 2026: Oct. 3rd 11am - 7pm VIP tickets still on sale (fogtownbrewing.com for more info). #octoberfestWe have a Beer Garden Library! Special help to the various builders and volunteers: @scientistelli @ihardy @corey.smelley @cushion_works_and_friends @fogtown_jon Thanks to the @ellsworthpubliclibrary_maine for helping to stock books!Golden Hour | Tropical Sour Now in cans & on draft. Naturally lacto-soured with mango, passionfruit, pineapple, strawberry & pink guava. No artificial colors or flavors…duh! Label art by the incomparable @artzwirkOk, so realistically it’s about 80% cleaning. But aside from that, the head brewer at a small craft brewery & cidery has a quite varied list of duties and tasks to keep the beverages flowing. From plumbing maintenance, to quality control checks, to sourcing curious local ingredients like oysters, coffee beans, spruce tips and blueberries. Thanks to our head brewer, @clintinmaine - He really is a good sport about it! #smallbrewery #localbeer #acadiaHave we mentioned our wood-fired pizza? Just thought we’d share a little reminder here for the leaf peeping season. Everything housemade & fresh; local farms, Maine grains, you know the deal. 🍁Oh, and Autumn harvest specials to come! Stop by the Beer Garden, we love to see your smiling faces 😉 #leafpeeping #acadianationalpark #woodfiredpizza #maine Photo Credit: @peterloguephotoCome try your luck. Test your prowess. Make friends, win prizes. Exercise the ‘ol brain muscle. (Wait, is the brain a muscle ⁉️ - This & other important trivia questions might just be on the list tonight). Something for everyone in the Fogtown Beer Garden. See ya there 😉 #trivianight #downeastmaineWhat does it mean to be a local business? At Fogtown, we really get a kick out of using Maine ingredients, and working with other local businesses and farmers. The Foglight Maine Pilsner really epitomizes this: The grain in this beer is 100% Maine grown & malted by our friends @mainemalthouse and @blueoxmalthouse Brewed in Maine-made stainless tanks, at our humble Ellsworth taproom. Spent grains go to local farms and compost facilities like @peggy_rockefellerfarm who uses it as feed for their chickens and lambs, and @chickadeecompost who turns it into compost! Thanks for supporting us so we can keep doing what we love and supporting our community! #smallbusiness #smallfarm #maine #spentgrain #compostPeach Special is here! 🍑 Now that @fogtown_jon ‘s young peach trees are finally starting to ripen, we’re so excited to share this pizza special with you! Maine-grown arugula, ricotta, pancetta & burrata. Finished with fresh rosemary from the Beer Garden and an enchanting house reduction of choke-berries from our Aronia bushes. Available until all the peaches are gone.
