Maine Beer Co. was started with a goal to “Do What’s Right”

Dan Kleban and his brother David founded Maine Beer Company with a single recipe and the goal to “Do What’s Right.” That mantra carries through in every aspect of running their business from the beer they brew, to employee relations, and how they support and give back to their community.

Dan joins us this week to talk about that philosophy and the passion he has to see it through. We enjoy a few Maine Beer Company beers as the conversation moves on to a discussion about the collapse of DME, a large brewing equipment manufacturer, and how that could be a nail in the coffin for some new brewers. Of course, we talk about brewing hoppy and balanced beers and teaching craft beer neophytes that hoppy and bitter are not the same thing. Dan also shares his passion for environmental causes and how their pledge to 1% For The Planet supports those causes, as well as the impact that brewing with local ingredients has on our environment.
