Tributary Brewing Company

Timeless Brewing Crafted with Family Passion

10 Shapleigh Rd, Kittery, ME 03904, USA

Tributary Brewing Company sits in Kittery, Maine, a modest town that somehow produces beers with the gravitas of a cathedral organ. The operation began as a marriage of ambition and yeast when legendary brewer Tod Mott joined forces with his wife Galen. Today their son Woody steers the ship, keeping the family vibe intact while adding a dash of youthful daring.

From clean‑cut pale ales that sparkle like a freshly polished surface to lagers that wander into territory most breweries avoid, the lineup refuses to be boring. Dark beers flow from the taps as freely as conversation, and the flagship Mott releases are treated like royal appointments. The tasting room, with its warm ambience, doubles as a stage for live music and jazz ensembles (because nothing says “sip a stout” like a sax solo). Outside, a tidy patio offers ample seating, perfect for watching the world go by while nursing a perfectly balanced brew. The staff greet you like old mates, quick to explain subtle hop nuances without the pretension. In short, Tributary delivers quality craftsmanship with a grin.
