From sourcing regional ingredients to uplifting farmers\, musicians\, distillers\, and artists\, they embody the spirit of the Adventure Coast and invite everyone to experience it fully. \nWhile their handcrafted ales are the heartbeat of the brewery (including their Elakha Ale using local dulse seaweed)\, 7 Devils’ commitment goes far beyond drinks. Their approach to food mirrors our own mission: honoring the coastal cornucopia and showcasing the flavors\, people\, and stories that make this place special. It’s about connections to the land\, sea\, and communit\, and creating spaces where local abundance is celebrated and shared.
