#156 KATAHDIN GOLDEN BEER - CASCO BAY BREWING CO.
This beer is no longer being produced but several others are:
Riptide Red Ale
Our flagship, this Irish-Style Red Ale proudly won a gold medal at the 2000 World Beer Cup. A combination of 5 different malts and 3 hop varietals, carefully blended, results in a perfect balance. Full-flavored and medium-bodied, the Riptide Red provides surprising complexity for such an easy-drinking brew. The Riptide Red has an original gravity of 1.056 and a 5.4% ABV.
Summer Ale
Our hugely popular Summer Ale exploded onto the scene just two short years ago. Light, yet flavorful, this brew complements seafood, steak or salad equally well. Balanced, with an aromatic hop finish, the Summer Ale brings sunshine to your stomach.
Winter Ale (Old Port Ale)
The Old Port Winter Ale has brought inner warmth and happiness to both Mainers and those from away for the past several winters. The 7.3% ABV makes our winter seasonal a Strong Ale by style. But the deep mahogany color, thick foamy head, solid malt body, and assertive hop flavor make it a worthy reward for reaching the end of another Maine winter's day.
Oktoberfest
Brewed to coincide with Germany's famous fall celebration, our Casco Bay Oktoberfest is a truly authentic UR-MARZEN. We use a special Munich lager yeast, liberal doses of Munich and caramel malts and noble hops to produce this smooth, balanced and imminently drinkable beer in the great German tradition. PROST!
Casco Bay Pale
Maine's first and only bottled year-round American Style Pale Ale. By style, American Style Pales tend to have a slightly lighter body, a more assertive hop flavor and a crisper finish (the best example of an American Pale Ale is the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale).

#151 JAMAICA RED ALE - MAD RIVER BREWING CO.
This beer was originally brewed for the world famous Reggae on the River festival that happens every year here in Humboldt County. A malty American Amber style ale, this mahogany hued ale brings an intense spectrum of hop flavors from the spicy aromatic to lingering bitter, all underscored by a full- bodied caramel richness.
Try this brew with a little Jamaican Jerked Chicken.

#149 ISLANDER PALE ALE - MARITIME PACIFIC BREWING LTD.
Apparently this beer is made in two varieties:
Islander Pale Ale 5.0% alc/vol
Light blond in color with a gentle malt flavor and subtle hop character. Islander is a blend of malted barley, wheat, and a combination of Yakima and Czech Republic hops.
Islander Pale Ale Dry-Hopped
The same wonderful recipe as described above, but with an extra bag of whole leaf Cascade hops added to each keg.

According to BA this beer was recently served as a special but is not included on their regular roster. That's good enough proof of it's existence for me.
