Locavores and beer lovers will come together tonight at the Great Lost Bear when Sebago Brewing Company unveils this fall's single batch series, Local Harvest Ale. If you read the story I wrote for Switch magazine a couple weeks ago about cooking with beer, you'll recall that Sebago brewmaster Kai Adams promised this beer was coming soon.

Should you want to sip some of the local, limited edition brew, head over to the Bear from 6-8 pm tonight.

In other local beer news, Peak Organic has launched an Espresso Amber Ale, brewed with organic, fair trade beans from Coffee by Design.

"As foodies, we've always appreciated hand-crafted coffee roasters," says Geoff Masland from Peak Organic. "So we jumped at the opportunity to work with our friends down the street at Coffee By Design, who craft amazing micro roasted coffee. We feel like this is more than just a delicious craft beer, but also a positive experience from start to finish, farm to glass."

Peak Organic Espresso Amber Ale is the first Fair Trade Certified beer brewed in the United States. Look for it wherever Peak Organic is served or sold. Or sample some at the Time of Rivers Festival at SPACE Gallery this weekend and at Greendrinks next Tuesday.
