One cabin has the brewery, one has the actual bar, and there's another where the owner lives? We were driving by and saw a brewery sign. We figured we would stop by, especially since we didn't realize there was a brewery here. When we entered the "bar cabin," we were greeted by the bartender. I ordered a small pour of their sour drink. I almost paid cash, but I realized they did have internet out here for their POS terminal. There's a large pinboard map where all the visitors have come from. That was pretty cool to see. The bartender was friendly, and the building was clean. We were one and done as we were passing through. However, this place gives off total scary movie-type vibes (come check it out it for yourself if you dont believe me). It's not rundown by any means. It's well kept and clean.

We were not sure about the ordering process, and after a few minutes started trying to find the pub website and look for a menu. Eventually a menu was brought to our table, and we put in an order for beer. Turns out, half of the items on the menu were not available. When we did figure out an order, more items were made not available. We settled on a NY style pizza. We did not get the toppings we ordered. Good news: the crust was very good, and worth another try! Even the leftovers were delicious the next day - not all pizza can do that. They do not know how to pour a Guinness - which is too bad, because that is a favorite beer of ours. We switched to another tap and had a local red. The tap selection is decent. The place has a very casual atmosphere, and many locals come and go and seem to have great conversation and know each other's business. Overall, a place with great potential, especially for regulars. Hopefully, another visit will be more successful for exploring the menu which sounds good.

My sister and I passed it on the road during a roadtrip last year and made a note to plan time for a visit during our most recent coastal Maine adventures and it was a highlight of the trip for both of us. We're both big foodies and always try to learn about the local food scene and the Maine Tasting Center is intentionally designed to do just that. We participated in their Flavors of Maine 101 tasting class (offered daily at 2pm but make sure to book by 1:45 day of) and it was SO GOOD. We also opted to do the additional drink pairing with the day's tasting board and I would highly recommend. Our wonderful teacher took us through three themed courses that paid homage to the state's native influence, the modern day dairy industry, and of course seafood. Everything on the board was delicious (okay maybe the seaweed salad wasn't my favorite but it was still super interesting to try and learn about). We'll definitely be returning on future trips and I can't wait to try some of their other class options I saw them advertising (especially the cheese class!)

Another nice aspect was the free recipe with spice packets, free chocolate tasting and free coffee grounds. All these were very tasty.

One tried the spirit flight and the other the mead and kombucha flight. Nothing was good to either of us. I've never left a spirit behind, but this time I had to. The offerings were just terrible to taste. Hopefully they'll get some better local businesses to support their drink offerings in the future.

We had been planning our rehearsal dinner at Back River Bistro for months, and it was truly a…read morefabulous evening from start to finish! We had a very large group of 31 guests, and the restaurant did an incredible job accommodating our celebration. With Corinna's help we planned a seasonal menu with oysters, appetizers, main courses and dessert. We started with oysters; a small table was set up near the bar where local oysters were shucked in front of us, presented on the shell with house-made mignonette and cocktail sauces. Very delicious and a great pairing with wine and beer. The bar area was cleared, so that mingling was easy and spacious. After that we were seated at three decorated tables. Then the food started rolling out of the kitchen; house focaccia with maple butter, Bistro Caesar salad, mushroom toast and additional appetizers, all delicious. The focaccia with maple butter and mushroom toast were group favorites. For entrées, the kitchen was killing it with sweet corn risotto, monkfish, and short ribs. We had never had monk fish, so we decided to try it, and boy are we glad we did - outstanding, with lentils, lightly seasoned to let the fish shine through, cooked perfectly. The sweet corn risotto is a plate I will be back for, the gruyere a nice backdrop for the corn. Following up with a simple but elegant dessert of sticky toffee pudding with brown butter-bay leaf ice cream and blueberry ice cream, sweet toffee with a cool, creamy finish; a great combination. Really, really an exceptional meal, our guests are still talking about it a week later. Service was excellent; friendly, efficient and always present, with a smile. The food and the portions were top notch. We can't say enough about it, the atmosphere was laid back but refined, the restaurant was neat and clean and Corinna was flexible, accommodating several last-minute requests. Most importantly, Back River Bistro provided the perfect setting for such a special family celebration. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our rehearsal dinner such a memorable evening. I would absolutely recommend Back River Bistro for a special occasion and especially for the incredible food! 5+ stars. We highly recommend!
