Katahdin Brew Works

Opened in January 2022, Katahdin Brew Works is a nano brewery in Patten, Maine that offers family-friendly tasting room welcoming locals and tourists alike.

Joel started brewing in the early 90s when his brother Pat spent a semester at Newcastle upon Tyne, UK and brought home a lovely wife and a love for brewing. Joel picked up on Pat’s new hobby and has been intrigued and amazed by brewing ever since. Like many homebrewers, what began with cans of malt extract syrup progressed to kits and then to all grain recipes.

A few years ago, Joel’s wife Jona also discovered a passion for brewing and the craft beer community. Today, Jona serves as President of KBW and she and Joel brew small batch beer using a using the Spike Brewing 1BBL Nano system.
