(Portland, ME) – Baxter Brewing Company announced a change to its summer ale on Wednesday. More below from the brewery newsletter…

Last year, we introduced our first seasonal beer, Celsius Summer Ale. This year, we’re bringing the crisp, citrus taste back to cans, now with a new name: Summer Swelter. Eliciting feelings of refreshment on sweltering hot summer days, Summer Swelter will quench any thirst. Look for Summer Swelter on shelves beginning in late April.

In late January, construction began on the 400% capacity expansion at Baxter Brewing Company, and we’re happy to report that things are moving along well.

A few weeks ago, workers poured the concrete foundation for “The Bunker,” a ginormous concrete cave where the bases of six 240-barrel fermenting tanks will rest. This week, workers are scheduled to pour concrete for the roof of the bunker and begin adding in electricity and piping.The new 25-foot-tall fermenting tanks should arrive and be installed in the first week of April.
