maine beer company

We were in Portland on a brew weekend and hubby had to try this beer. About a 20-30 min trip outside Portland, but if you are a beer person, a must try...lots to sample.My only complaint, and its just not my style I suppose, its very plain..very sterile looking, different from the breweries I have been to.

Went in for a visit after passing by and discovering its existence. We went with the ALL IN which was a generous 5 oz pour of each beer available on tap that night. I would have like a little cheat sheet to take with me as I had to search around for a listing of the beers and descriptions that was in a plastic insert on the bar. They were too busy for the server to do anything except pour and take our money. In addition to needing little explanations to take with us, they need to offer a snack with every 4 beer sampler I think. Needed a crunchy dry or salty palette cleanser between samples.A good mix of people in the crowd, super busy, good beer (bought several to take home), and worth a visit when in the area!

By random chance, after getting some fresh lobsta off a buddy's boat and driving to a friends to make dinna, we past this place! Detour ensued. Low and behold, this stuff was actually good. The brewery was new, clean, and fun! Of course, where there is beer there is usually a good time to be had. So we enjoyed it. All three of us Cali kids got the sampler to start and picked out 6 different selections. All tasty suds quite comparable to some out here in San Diego. Loved them all. Very drinkable ales. We ended up purchasing some to bring and share back home with those who appreciate them. Do what's right!

A new brewery in Freeport, I dropped in to sample their brew. The staff offered me a few samples so I could choose some of their beer. I was able to find a couple. Their Zoe Amber ale was excellent. Their store was well laid out and nice and clean. A good choice for local craft beer.

A wide selection of beer. Nice tap room. They offer some local farm fresh products to eat while you enjoy your pint. A nice plus. A good view of the brewery with large windows from the tap room. It seems like the staff was preoccupied with other things than the customers. Did not seem to want to answer questions about the beer and the history of the brewery.

My husband bought a Maine Beer Company beer at a small beer shop in the Hudson Valley where we live. Since we were in Freeport we decided to check out the brewery. Great tasting room with full glass walls looking down on the beer making facilities. We shared a flight of four beers. Loved them all. Very different, clean flavors, great noses. We went home with a case and a couple tshirts. I agree with other reviewers that some light snacks would be great. A bag of popcorn isn't all that filling. They have a couple cheeses but no crackers (that I could see.)

We stopped in to try Maine Beer Co. because so many people raved about it. They do have great beers (we got a flight and loved them all) however, the only snacks available were sweet. Pretzels, chips, regular popcorn...anything salty would be better with your beers than caramel corn or kettle corn. The website said there were snacks so we didn't eat before getting there. Next time, we'd bring something or eat prior to arriving.

I love Maine Beer Company. I will always visit coming through and drink/try a few. So happy they had Dinner on tap! Our bartender/expert was great. Nice outdoor picnic tables so we can sit and have a beer with the dog outside.I love this beer. I would have given 5 stars but the other guy working (wish I got his name) was a little rude when we asked about A Tiny Beautiful Something that we had tasted a month earlier at our local gastropub. He said it was so not available anywhere local to Freeport in such a rude way- made us feel stupid. I could tell the guy helping us was embarrassed. I will go back and keep buying their stuff- but if I see this guy, I will look to someone else for help, or comeback another time. Booo to you Mr. Beersnob. Sorry I asked about a beer I thought was outstanding when I visited your place of employment.

Maine Beer Co. has been producing excellent beers for a while, but their new (2013) brewery and tasting room finally gives them the venue they deserve. The brewery is immaculate and the tasting room is comfortable, clean and outfitted with 8 taps of some of the best beers made in the great State of Maine. The "Lunch" IPA is a must-try, but nearly as good are "Another One", the elusive "Dinner" and "A Tiny Beautiful Something". Pours are generous 5 oz. and pints are also available along with cold bottles to take home. It's hard to understate the importance of freshness to their beers, and this is as fresh as it gets.

The delicious beers, generous pours, and comfortable/airy atmosphere really made Maine Beer Co. stand out. A little pricey for a tasting room, but the beer is worth it. Try "Lunch," you won't be disappointed!

I've sampled a few of their beers, and they are great. My favorite, however is King Titus Stout! This is a very nice tasting room for beer . Don't expect something more!! You will not, however, be disappointed!

This is GREAT beer. It's hard to find where I live, so I stopped by the tasting room ready to drop $100 bucks on beer. I left after a $2.50 sample, and, I'm sorry to say, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I've become so accustomed to warm friendly informative people in the craft beer business, it was a real surprise to run into someone who could barely be bothered to wait on us. Maybe she was having a bad day. Maybe she's just sick of the tourists at the end of the season. But that's really no excuse. I'll buy the beer locally when I can find it, but I don't think I'll be going back to the tasting room.

Love this beer!! Tasting room is clean and has a good view of the brewing room. Tastings are nice sizes and there is plenty of room to sit and enjoy them. We were worried because we arrived just as the brew bus tour arrived. But, we had no problem getting tastings, bottles to take home, and tshirts in a reasonable amount if time. It was fun! And the beer is so good.. Did I mention the beer is awesome?Enjoy!!

After a hard day of shopping at the outlets up there we stopped in for some beer. The full tasting of all 8 on tap was excellent. The staff was knowable and suggested the order to taste the beer in. I don't think that they make a bad beer.

Came here on part of our brewery passport adventure. Tried 8 different beers which some were good and some were interesting! The service was great and they knew what they were talking about. It was a good time with my boyfriend!
