According to the Freeport-based brewery’s Facebook page, the limited release brew commemorates the August establishment of the national monument with flavors of pine and citrus, and uses Maine-grown barley and wheat from Lisbon Falls-based Blue Ox Malthouse, with plenty of American hops for IPA lovers.
