Hemp Based THC/CBD
Maine has a new way to take the edge off — and it doesn’t come with a hangover. Bow Street Beverage carries a curated selection of delta-9 THC seltzers, iced teas, and cocktail-inspired drinks that deliver a real, hemp-derived buzz in a familiar, easy-to-enjoy format. We stock both 5 mg and 10 mg options, so whether you’re looking for a light social lift or something a little more noticeable, there’s a dose that fits. 21+ only.
What Is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 THC is the same compound found in cannabis — derived here from federally legal hemp, keeping it under the 0.3% THC threshold set by the 2018 Farm Bill. The effect is real and recognizable to anyone familiar with cannabis: mild relaxation, mood lift, and a loosening of the edges. The difference is the format — a cold can instead of a joint, with consistent dosing and no smoke.
If you’ve been curious about cannabis but don’t want to navigate a dispensary, or you’re simply looking for an alcohol alternative that actually does something, delta-9 beverages are worth trying.
What We Carry
Long Coast Seltzers Clean, crushable hemp-derived THC seltzers made for Maine. Light carbonation, minimal sweetness, and a consistent 5 mg dose make these a natural swap for a beer or hard seltzer. Available at both our Portland and Wells locations.
Mystic Cove by Sebago Brewing Sebago Brewing’s entry into the hemp beverage space brings craft brewing credibility to the category. Mystic Cove combines Sebago’s brewing expertise with hemp-derived delta-9 THC for a beverage that feels at home next to a craft beer — because it basically is one.

Practical Notes Before You Buy
Start low. If you’re new to delta-9, a 5 mg can is the right starting point. Effects typically onset within 30–60 minutes — slower than alcohol. Give it time before reaching for a second.
It’s not alcohol. The experience is different. Delta-9 beverages won’t taste like beer or wine, and the effect profile is distinctly its own. Most people find it pleasant; some find it’s not for them. Our staff can walk you through what to expect.
Don’t drive. Delta-9 THC impairs driving. Treat it the same way you’d treat alcohol in that regard.
21+ only. No exceptions.
