Sea Dog brewing again at Bangor restaurant<\/strong>
\nBy Jessica Bloch<\/em><\/p>\n

BANGOR, Maine \u00e2\u20ac\u201d For years, the Sea Dog Brewing Co. was known for its brewery in the back, its bar-restaurant in the front, where cold beer was served along with burgers, sandwiches and a helping of town gossip. But when Portland-based Shipyard took over beer production about six years ago, beer-making at the Sea Dog ceased.<\/p>\n

For the past few months, however, the Bangor brewery has been back up and running, making a few of its own beers at its Front Street location.<\/p>\n

Customers seem to like knowing their beer was brewed just a few feet away from their table.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153For people, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just the novelty of the thing,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Sea Dog general manager Larry Killam.<\/p>\n

Brewer Josh Horton has been in charge of the brewing facility since last summer, Killam said, after training in Portland with Shipyard and also with Kennebunkport Brewing Co.<\/p>\n

Horton has been brewing four basic types of beer \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Windjammer Blonde Ale, Old East India Pale Ale, Sea Dog Pale Ale and Extra Special Bitter \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and a seasonal beer since last summer in the brewery\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s seven-barrel system, which was originally in the Sea Dog restaurant in Camden. There are 31 gallons in one barrel.<\/p>\n

Unlike the operations at facilities such as Black Bear Brewery in Orono, Sea Dog beer isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stored in kegs but in serving tanks, which hold a whole batch of beer.<\/p>\n

The beer brewed in Bangor is served at the Sea Dog\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Bangor and Topsham locations.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is hoping to move into other areas, too, with its revived brewery.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153As we go forward we want to expand to [half-gallon glass jug] growlers and do brewery tours,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Killam said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve already done beer [tasting] dinners, and we may do more of those, too.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
