What a view! If you follow me, you know I am not into beer... but my husband is! (I am also pregnant.) It was a hot summer day and we were staying in Sebago. It was only a 15 minute drive- pretty easy. All current seating during Covid is outside. We scored a picnic table that overlook the woods of Maine- just beautiful! They do have 2 people taking orders but with how many people were there and the space they had to cover it was a little slow. But hey, Maine is laid back! we were 2 adults and 2 kids. The kids were thrilled to get Snapples and we ordered pretzels with beer cheese. What an odd pretzel shape but it tasted good. Served warm but I wish it was larger based off the price. Can share that the beer cheese was a total win with the family (the kids had chips and dipped the chips in too! Went inside to use the bathroom and just love the pure wood look inside the building. Spacious bathroom and very clean. Read that the owners met at a river and fluvial means found in a river. Nice story- name now makes sense. Overall a cute place and glad we checked it out.
We were invited to join friends are this adventure. Fluvial is in a beautiful scenic location of Harrison, Me. Mostly beer, which I do not do but they did have a cider on tap! They have a handful of beers on tap, cider and wine. Light fare to snack on. Full pours or flights. Once you have ordered step outside to the beautiful hill side for some outside seating or into their cozy Yurt to protect from the elements. My husband found a new stout, Cosmic Eclipse Cosmic Eclipse, it is a wonderfully smooth stout brewed with a heavy dose of locally produced dark wheat partnered with some of the finest European Malts available. We lightly hopped this stout to allow for the fermentation flavors of the Irish yeast strain to shine through as the star. We then layered in a healthy dose of peanut butter that shines through on the back end. **Produced with Peanuts for those with allergies** I got myself a sweatshirt. They have cans to go and growlers. The bonus of being there was food truck onsite, Iron clad had some amazing tacos to go with Fluvial's on tap selection. They had live music while there and we found trivia cards to play.
Fun place with a beautiful view. Seating outside but it if is rainy totally go in the yurt. Mainly beer but they offer a cider and wine. They have some snacks and if you are lucky a food truck will be visiting. If you find yourself in Harrison it is worth the stop. My husband found his new favorite stout.
Wonderful craft beers, gorgeous location. Nothing like a Thirsty Thursday at a local brewery. We enjoyed our visit and appreciate our friends introducing us to this place. There are tables outside or if you want to sit indoors there is a yurt where you can relax. You can purchase basic snacks and swag inside at the bar. We had an enjoyable visit with an assistant brewer and his wife. Great day, lots of beer!
Loved this little brewery! We drove out on a whim, looking for something different than the Portland scene. It was a beautiful drive out and we found it easily. Parking was limited near the main building but we found out after that there is a large parking lot out back. Signage would have helped with this. The Maine building is cute and provides some seating and some games as well as a bathroom. They had about 5 beers on tap. They offer pizza and other snacks but we just had a beer. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming. Out back is the real gem - the view! There are many seating areas including picnic tables, seating around multiple fire pits, a covered table area and a heated yurt! So cool! They also had a ton of yard games and more board games in the yurt. I would not consider this place accessible if you have limited mobility because it's perched on the side of a rocky hill. The vibe was cool and relaxed though. We will definitely be back!
Staff was safe, friendly and helpful though there could have been more of them on a busy Saturday with live music. Got popcorn (a few ounces of four different kinds) and pretzels (flaming hot!) Not much to really satiate you if you are there long. The beer I had (all IPA) was ok. I liked Valley Rise the most but I'm really a hops fan and none hot that mark for me. Tasters were small for $4. All non-alcoholic drinks except water were sugary. Sweet tea OR Snapple?! Lol High Roller Lobster was there. Photo of their menu included. I'd go back for the view and friends but not during music- we had to scream and with Covid, that meant wearing masks while at our table.
In Maine from out of state and heard word of this great little micro brewery in Harrison ME. So proud to have visited within the first few weeks of opening. The owners are fantastic and friendly and built the whole place by hand. Main bar area cozy and bright. There is a open field of rolling hills out back with Adirondack chairs and tables chilling and playing. Already a good following - good for them as it is well deserved with a current flight of 4 great brews. Roll Damn Rye was our fave - all were tasty. Snacks available including cheese and charcuterie. I know they are going succeed big-time. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Welcome to the sweetest little hometown bar, you guys. I'm so happy for the sweetest little family. The sweetest little brew house. Sweet sweet sweet. I love how simple and thoughtful this place is. Everything is beautiful. The landscape. The view. The building. It's wonderful. I love to support anything from Harrison and although I don't drink- I will take 3 quotes from 3 patrons at my next stop to Fluvial and post them, verbatim. I did overhear "I've been here everyday since they opened 2 weeks ago." And, "Wow, that's a good beer." Both from unsuspecting non-Yelpers. So, I'll take their word for it (literally, I took their words, they have no idea I've quoted them! HA!) EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET TO MENTION-- THIS PLACE IS FAMILY FRIENDLY!!! Bring the babies, y'all!!
I was visiting the area and looking for breweries, and this was pretty far out of my way but looked really cool so i made my way out after a hike one day. I had such a good time that I ended up making the drive and coming here two nights in a row! The view is so cool. Just sitting outside looking at the mountains, especially near dusk is so relaxing. They have really good beer -- better than some of the others in the area. There are lots of IPAs of course, but some other styles too. I always love a flight! Only the Outdoor seating is open during the pandemic, but that's great. As it gets later they light up the fire pits and it's the best. They serve snackish food, nothing I would consider "real" food right now, although apparently they do have food trucks come sometimes according to the owner. I purchased a little trail mix style snack flight and it was fun, came in a flight like my beer. My one complaint was that the second night I came I was starving and so stopped to get a burger on the way to eat there with my beer, since they don't have anything like that. One of the owners, a woman (I believe it's a husband and wife team that owns the place, as I also talked to the male owner, who just seems like an awesome person) came over to tell me that outside food wasn't allowed because they served food, and they could get in trouble with a food inspector. I don't know regulations well enough and I don't mean to judge, and I'm not one to break rules for the heck of it. but that seems unlikely that they would be responsible for people bringing outside food in, especially considering the picnic style atmosphere and the fact that they sometimes have food trucks, and that every other bar in the nearby town encourages it even though they also serve bar snacks (the burger place i found was a recommendation from one of these bars). It felt more like they just didn't want outside food because they want the business, but I really couldn't just have bar snacks after a long day of hiking and it was the perfect atmosphere to have dinner in. What about parents who bring the kids snacks and food? It does seem like a shame because I could see people hanging here for hours and drinking lots of beer if there was real food available. Anyway, seemed strange and wasn't a great start having to scarf down my burger before buying my beer and some snacks (they were getting the business either way! I'm not a light drinker and I tip well ;) ) The second night they had live music- I think it was a friday- and that was awesome. Again: Mountain View, good beer, fire pit, live music. And I brought a book because I'm a compulsive multitasker. Perfect night. Other notes: Nice clean bathroom inside, parking in the front and back (I didn't realize there was more parking in the back the first time and parked very weirdly on the front lawn. Which was fine because it's very casual). Would definitely go back! #hiddengem
I almost don't want to review this brewery because I want it to stay a hidden gem! I hadn't heard of Fluvial before, but when I saw it pop up on the map while in the area I knew I had to check it out. I'm so glad I did -- it's gotta be one of my favorite breweries in Maine. Definitely top 5. The views here might just be the best in the whole state. You get stunning mountain and hill views, which were especially beautiful during our fall visit. There's plenty of outdoor seating with tables, chairs, fire pits, and even some covered spots. The indoor space is small but cozy. The beer pours were fantastic. The menu was a bit limited, but there was something for everyone. Their NEIPA and DIPA were incredibly smooth, and my partner said his pumpkin ale special was amazing. They also offer food, which was a nice surprise. We ordered the pretzels (3 pieces for $10) and they were delicious. I can't wait to go back. read more
We are on a New England self-guided beer tour, and Fluvial is stop #4 on day 4, so we have some context for comparison. (How? Small quantities.) What a great surprise. It's off the beaten path, but with a great vista. The beers are fantastic - smooth and flavorful... we are getting sick of bitter IPAs, and the selection here has the hop flavor without the bite. Fluvial hits home runs on several styles, and to top it off, live music that I actually like. What a great place to spend a warm Saturday afternoon! read more
We stop here while on vacation every year. The couple that owns Fluvial is very nice and welcoming. We have chatted with them on several occasions. The grounds are gorgeous and the taproom is very clean and well put together. They have an ever expanding offering of food, they added pizza this year. It was great. A great spot to lose an afternoon. read more

So excited to have discovered this brewery! It is a very charming, family friendly atmosphere with great beers. I especially enjoyed the River Haze IPA. Nicole was super welcoming, very knowledgeable about beer and she also provided great hiking recs for the area. Can't wait to go back to try out the skating rink! read more

Such a relaxing, peaceful afternoon at Fluvial today. Only 3 choices for beer today due to one being sold out but they didn't disappoint. Sat outside and enjoyed the amazing view while listening to great live music. Anyone who wants a laid back afternoon enjoying a beer, this is the place for you! read more
