A Broker Partnership Introduction
New England & Beyond
14 years of building a Maine spirits company from the ground up
Founded in 2012 by Luke Davidson, Maine Craft Distilling is a Portland, Maine distillery built on a simple operating principle: Farm-to-Flask. Real Maine ingredients, real craft, real place — not a marketing line. Blueshine Lemonade grew out of the distillery's house-made Blueshine Wild Maine Blueberry Liquor — the original blueberry lemonade canned cocktail, grounded in the wild blueberry barrens that shaped it.
"Farm-to-flask distilling isn't a slogan here — it's the operating principle."
