D.L. Geary
38 Evergreen Drive Portland, Maine, USA, 04103 (207) 878-2337
David Geary is considered by many to be the Father of brewing in Maine. Highly respected in and out of his circle of peers, David Geary set a standard for the many behind him to follow. I hope he's proud of what's happened to craft brewing in the last 25 years and his contribution to it.

A Pioneer in America's Brewing Renaissance
The D.L. Geary Brewing Company was incorporated in October, 1983 by David and Karen Geary who shared the vision of producing world class products on a small scale for local and regional consumption. At that time, there were only 13 so-called microbreweries in the United States, almost all of them in California and the Pacific Northwest. In the winter of 1984, David Geary began a period of training and research in Scotland and England. With the help of Peter Maxwell Stuart, a Scottish nobleman and brewer who arranged introductions and itineraries, he worked in a half-dozen small commercial breweries from the highlands of Scotland to the south coast of England. |
