Gritty McDuff's Brewing Company, commonly contracted to Gritty's, is a brewery, with locations in (from south to north) Portland, Freeport, and Auburn, Maine, USA.

Gritty's began as a brewpub in Portland, originally founded in 1988. In 1995, a second location with a larger brewing facility was opened in Freeport. A third brewpub was opened in Auburn in 2005.

Gritty's has frequently been awarded the titles of "Maine's Best Brew Pub", "Best Maine Microbrew" and "Best Bar" in statewide polls. In 2011 Gritty's was awarded Restaurateur of the Year by the Maine Restaurant Association. Gritty's ales have been repeat winners at the annual Real Ale Festival in Chicago and have also appeared as Featured International Selections at the Great British Beer Festival.[1]

To celebrate Gritty's 21st anniversary, the brewery released its 21 IPA. The brew was created at the Freeport brewery and originally called "Punch You in the IPA", a reference to the Phish song "Punch You in the Eye".
