Sea Dog Brewing

Sea Dog Brewing

The original Sea Dog Brewing Co. was founded by Pete Camplin, Sr. on May 17th, 1993 in the historic shipbuilding town of Camden, Maine, starting with a 240 seat brewpub and kegging brewery overlooking the dramatic waterfall of the old Knox Woolen Mill. On March 8th, 1995, Sea Dog opened a second facility, this time a 540 seat restaurant and brewery on the banks of the historic Penobscot River in downtown Bangor. The Sea Dog Brewing Company and our beers are unique within the American craft brewing movement. Our beers are formulated and brewed in a traditional style using regionally appropriate ingredients such as imported English two-row malted barley for the ales and imported German hops and grains for our lagers. Fermentation is also done in a traditional manner using a British top-fermenting yeast in open fermenters to create a balanced and fruity flavored ale with a crisp finish, unique to true top-fermented beers. We are one of the few craft breweries in New England brewing both traditional ales and lagers. The Sea Dog in Topsham occupies a scenic spot on the Androscoggin River. The Bangor location overlooks the historic Penobscot River. Both locations serve a full menu of handcrafted ales and creative pub fare with a flair.
