Haven't been here since the first year the new location opened, but the beer here is still great!…read moreWe tried a few different things off the food menu and those were all pretty decent. Note - when you get a sandwich/burger, they give you an insane amount of fries to go along with it. Service was great and I like the quirky brewery atmosphere. A great place to stop before a UMaine hockey game

So much to do at OBC... Board games, corn hole, basketball, video games, televisions and fire pits!…read more Award winning beer matched with farm fresh food (now offerings that aren't deep fried) The new menu is really really good: The blackened haddock tacos are so so flavorful (wish they offered a slaw/salad) instead of ff/tots Shrimp cocktail with a delicious cocktail sauce along with tortilla chips to dip too, the crab cakes with spicy aioli veggie blend and the burrata with tomatoes and pesto all AMAZING!! I eat there at least twice a week now

This place was fine. Stopped on a drive up north and stayed for one but it was pretty forgettable…read more The food was not great, the bartender seemed annoyed I was there. The beer was drinkable but nothing great. Small spot, very local-y which I liked. Lots of kids slamming on tables and screaming and stuff so if thats your thing probably fine. There was nothing offensive about this spot but really nothing to make me remotely interested in going back

It was crispy, perfectly sized pieces, very flavorful (I think it was teriyaki) and the portion was generous. We had the pizza special of the day (elote) with vegan cheese and it was decent. The breaded cauliflower app would have been better with some salt/flavoring in the breading and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and texture but they burnt them a bit and it took away from making them a 10/10. The environment was a little loud but the view of the river was nice and the server was pleasant even if a little busy and absent at times.

Wow wow wow! I think this was the overall best brewery we visited while in Maine! The beer and the…read morefood were incredible! Add in the ambiance and you get this gem in Ellsworth. We walked over from the main strip of downtown and loved the vibe as soon as we arrived. Walking down the stairs to get to the brewery versus the glass blowing shop was so cute. With apples on the ground from the apple trees, it couldn't be more "Maine". When walking in, you order at the bar for both food and drink and then there is a booth/trailer out back where the food comes out. The inside is set up for open mic night and then outside they have a full stage where they host live music. There is plenty of seating outside at the picnic tables as well. We ordered a couple beers, the Margherita pizza, the potato chips, and the Carrot Top salad. I cannot tell you howwwwwwwww amazing the salad was!! I have never had a salad like this and I ate every last bite. The roasted carrots were so good, combined with the crispy onions and the dressing; it was heaven. The chips were incredible and the dip that comes with it just elevates it that much more. I believe it was a pickle dip of some sort? I can't remember specifically, just that I needed a vat of it. Then the pizza?! We couldn't finish it but man did we want to! Add all this tasty food to a beautiful backdrop and we were the happiest little foodies in Maine. Hands down best stop in Ellsworth!

I really dig Bangor Beer. They're not located in "downtown" Bangor but just a few minutes out near…read morethe big box shopping area. Let me tell you, there is nothing "big box" about this place. It's quirky and fun. Outside is a garden area for nicer weather and I believe they have live music at times as well. Graffiti-style murals including Rick & Morty (can't find my exterior pics anywhere) and other fun stuff. They even had a bouncy house when we were there. And yep, we bounced around like kids. The interior of the brewery is also pretty quirky, chill, and fun. The employees and clientele are super cool & welcoming. They have a decent food menu that includes stuff from Oriental Jade (Asian restaurant that served Chinese and Japanese food). Oriental Jade had been around for decades. If you're a Stephen King fan, you know all about it. Their food is yum. Anyway, Bangor Beer has a lot of other offerings like fish & chips, burgers, typical fare that tastes anything but typical. The drinks: Yes they're a craft brewery and they also offer cocktails and mocktails. I've only had beer (did try the NA beer that had & it was good). Their pours are of the highest caliber. The taproom has 12-13 different beers on draft at any given time. And of course, beers to go (cans). Draft beers in growlers too. Oddball is probably my favorite. It's an oat stout that sits just right on the tastebuds. The 10-12 is a great IPA with just the right amount of hops. Total A+ spot.

Concert nights are not easy and I appreciate you and the entire staff. We enjoyed our conversation and pre-concert meal. (BTW - Melissa and the Girls - amazing. I saw Melissa in the 90's and she is just as talented as ever. A true musician and entertainer.)

There are a variety of beers to choose from, each named for one of Cody's tattoos, each more satisfying than the last. I recommend a taster for each to pick your favorite. They host events and live music on the regular, so check their website to see which of your favorite local bands are lined up for the weekend. Great prices, family friendly, and good company that makes you feel welcomed! There is parking available, but can be a bit tight on a busy night. The owners are rectifying that soon by creating a large lot on the property, leaving no reason to stay home!

Orono Brewing Company was a brewery that I had on my list for a long time. So in the sense that I…read morefinally got to try their beer I am grateful for it. But the beer wasn't quite what I was hoping that it would be. I had the Tiger Style Fierce Pale Ale and thought it was just fair. Main thing was I didn't find it all that memorable and it was just hard to get into. Flavor features with this beer are juicy, citrusy, hoppy and sweet. It also has a smooth body to it. Unfortunately I wish I could have gotten into it more and maybe the pale ale wasn't the best choice here but alas that is how it all shook out.
