    Don't drive too fast down Bath Rd, because you'll miss a fun and tasty time at Black Pug Brewing! The staff here are some of the nicest brewery staff around. It's like you are hanging at their house and they're just being the best hosts around at a fun happy hour party with new friends you're meeting for the first time. I love the simple/easy atmosphere here, with people of all ages and and backgrounds. All are welcome. The variety of beer here is great too, something for any of beer friends, and that's saying a lot. The swag they sell is fun and animal friendly as well. I happened to go during their anniversary party and it was packed! So many fun brews to mark the occasion and to celebrate, I bought myself of their hoodies...one of the softest hoodies, I have ever had. Loving it during the fall/winter temps. The Untapped Board is fun!! I have never seen this in the area breweries. Beer social media is the most fun :) There is a food truck outside for most weekends..they also sell delicious bagged snacks inside. For those not drinking beer, they also sell locally made Green Bee soda. There is a pinball machine as well...bring your quarters! :) The parking lot isn't that big, so if you can carpool with friends. Whatever you do...get here! support this great brewery and great people. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet the Pug of Honor :) He's adorable.

    Gracious host. No flights during Covid but owner was happy to give us tastings of all his beers. At 1 year old these guys know how to make great beer. Surprised only 9 reviews. The Fudgeline Miami stout was fantastic smooth and and solid chocolate undertones ThaiPA a tangerine IPA was our favorite. Look for great things from this small batch fledgling brewery

    Big space, good beer, pin ball, and a cute logo

    Black Pug is always worth a visit! Ambience is nice, beer is good (they have n.an options too) and the owners are very kind.

    Not on Yelp yet? The newest brewery in town also happens to have the best beer. Run don't walk, it's a phenomenal operation.

    Their beer was excellent, I highly recommend the THAIPA, which manages to blend ginger seamlessly into a citrusy IPA.

    We first came to Moderation when they first opened a few years ago. Have not been back since (not…read morebig beer drinkers - but we love a good brewery vibe) and have been waiting to try the new former Brunswick Fire Department location. It was awesome! Welcomed by the owner and found some yummy beer options. My sister was visiting and she isn't a beer drinker at all but tired (and liked!) the fruity spritz - it is frankly a great option to serve in a brew pub. I had the Oyster Lager - dark but not heavy tasting. Wayne went for their1856 Lager and my brother in law opted for the Champs Lager. All good - and bonus - Dog Haus was the food truck so we enjoyed the following: Wayne had the House Dog with sauerkraut, mustard, grilled onions & celery salt. I had the same but with caramelized onions instead and no sauerkraut. Bill totally enjoyed the OG dog, with maple mustard & curry ketchup, They also allow you to substitute a red snapper (you know, a traditional Maine dog!) for the beef one. All in all it was a great afternoon, sitting in the doors of the brewery, chatting and enjoying hot dogs and beer!

    This is a very small brewery, with about 6 tables and the bar. They had 4 beers on tap and a…read morecouple of ciders and spritz to try. We liked that they had flights to try different beers.

    We took advantage of Flight Deck Brewing's Air Show package and spent most of Saturday camped out…read moreat their ample picnic tables, enjoying the air show. Our Pesto Caprese With Chicken sandwich was more than enough for two hungry people: Delicious, visually appealing, and arrived quickly. We included two on-tap beers with our order (P3, Hazy IPA) that were also delicious and poured ASAP when we placed our food order. There is ample parking and lots (and lots) of outdoor seating (some of it covered for Sun protection and for cooling off.) There was a misting fan running, too. Service was very hospitable, and no long lines for food or beverages. The cost of eating and drinking here (on a special event day no less) was very welcoming: Our tab surprised me, and I more than made it up on the gratuity (which I hope you do, too.) These people are working hard, and some of them are in front of a blazing pizza oven. My only regret: I forgot to purchase beer to take home. I will remedy this shortly.

There are so many seating options inside and outside, and the outdoor space is especially great. They have covered areas that keep you comfortable in rainy or cold weather, and there are always fun activities happening outside. The beer is consistently good. We haven't tried one we didn't enjoy. The pizza and sandwiches are also really solid and perfect for grabbing a quick lunch. The service is always fantastic. Every person behind the bar has been friendly and welcoming each time we've visited. One of the things we appreciate most is that they allow dogs inside. Our puppy loved relaxing while we enjoyed our food and drinks, which makes it such an easy spot for dog owners. The location on a former military base adds a really unique atmosphere, and they do a great job leaning into that theme with thoughtful details throughout. Overall, it's a great place with great beer, great people, and an inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend. Cheers!

    This review is for their food and customer service for in-house dining…read more Like a fine wine - this place gets better and better everytime we visit. We probably dine here once a quarter. Service has always been consistently great. Friendly, prompt, detail oriented and caring about our experience. We have never had a bad interaction with any of the staff members. They are hardworking customer focused team. Good with children and elderly folks. The food has been consistently good, temperature, quantity, flavors, textures and presentation. We have tried their burgers, pizza, bowls and appetizers. We really like their brussels sprouts, including our 3 and 6 year old family members. There's a wonderful sweet savory flavor, a nice crisp to the outside and very tender inside. The burgers and fries are very satisfying and flavorful. Most recently I discovered (realized) you can add mac and cheese to a burger. It was yummm!!! The wings, are plentiful, crispy and juicy. Be careful, because the internal temperature is VERY HOT when they first arrive. The past few times we have been the restaurant was very comfortable, not too cold or too hot. They have the ability to accommodate the 6 of us with ease on the times we have gone. This is definitely one of the core options when we are in town. Great for our whole family.

We ordered a flatbread pizza and then overheard our waitress tell others they were out of one of the main ingredients of our ordered pizza. Our waitress came back and said sorry we are out of flat bread so no pizza. We had a pretzel and a pickle flight. The pickles were good and the idea a neat one. I think the waitress did not want to be there as her first line to everyone after us was "the kitchen is backed up at least 30 minutes and we are out of many things". Not sure why the kitchen was backed up as the dinning room was almost empty. I had a coke and due to the backup I ordered another... no free refills of soda. Needless to say when the bill came and was $60 I asked her to review it since our main item was cancelled. The bill was correct. Never again.
