With roots in home brewing back in the 90s, brewer Jon Cadoux set about combining his love for beer with an ethic for sustainability. Whenever possible, he would go out and find ingredients from local organic farmers for his homebrews.  It was a defining day when Jon discovered that you don’t need to sacrifice flavor for sustainability, but that better ingredients actually made the beer more delicious.

Beers in hand, we found ourselves celebrating the end of a great day outdoors, adventurous past travels, or a favorite meal with friends and family. We liked these moments so much we decided to put Peak Experience photos on all of our packaging. We invite all of you to share your Peak Experiences with us here. Send us a shot and you could find yourself on a beer bottle.

It’s an exciting time for American craft brewers, who are creating some of the best beers in the world.   Peak is contributing to this movement with contemporary takes on traditional styles of beer, and innovative flavors that have never been brewed before. If you read about our beers, you’ll see we love to collaborate with other local purveyors, organic farmers, creative chefs, and like-minded organizations to create a tasty beer in the best way possible.  In 2009, Peak helped Maine farmers cultivate commercial hops, the first such harvest since 1880.  We take great pride in the fact that these hops were organic.
