Maine
Maine's brewing industry has evolved from early European settlement in the 1800s to become a craft beer powerhouse in the northeastern United States, featuring over 150 craft breweries despite its small population. The state is particularly known for its hazy New England IPAs, robust stouts, and creative use of local ingredients like blueberries and maple syrup, with pioneering breweries including Allagash Brewing Company (famous for Belgian-style ales), Maine Beer Company, Bissell Brothers, and Shipyard Brewing.
