Wow wow wow! I think this was the overall best brewery we visited while in Maine! The beer and the food 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! read more

While staying in Ellsworth we wanted to try a local brewery and was not disappointed, well we were disappointed they ran out of pizza dough and we could not order pizza, which looked amazing! Located on a neighborhood street a block off main street with plenty of parking is this hidden gem. They have indoor and lots of outdoor seating. The night we were there, there was a jazz duo providing entertainment. Our group ordered a variety of beers, cider and seltzers. The blue maple selz had a unique taste, but was refreshing. Beers included fog light , Maine coast , riverbend and aqua culture- with pine and oysters. The beers were very good and we purchased some to go. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. They promote farm to table and sustainability. A perfect location to relax after a day in Acadia read more

So I'll get to it: the beer was ok. We REALLY wanted to like the beer, they sounded so interesting, but a lot of the tasted watered down.That said, we loved everything else. The staff were SO kind and fun and the space they have is super cool. We sat inside but the outdoor space has a lot of seating and heaters for if it's cold. They also have pizza which is a plus for a brewery and it was very good! Would I recommend the spot? Sure, stop in here for a pizza and maybe a drink- you'll have a good time. read more

I did not have the pizza because we just had pizza over Pats but we been dying to stop because the comfort vista from the street is amazingly irresistible! I finally found time enough to stop and man wasn't I pleased! The beer tastes just like your grandmother's fresh baked bread. The cordwood reminds me of the Best Brown Oak Pond Brew we use to brew and bottle up to Skowhegan, but better! Fresher and yum! My friends had a lighter shade of beer tastes nice good on the light side. The kindness of the staff and the ambiance of the place is beyond words. Come take a look. Taste the beer they will surely have something you'll love. read more

While visiting Bar Harbor, we drove over to the next town to go to this brewery. It is located in a neighborhood and there was a lot of street parking. We did not order any food here but we had a few samples and had a beer. The people working at the bar were quite nice and friendly. The brewery has a kind of laid back feel to it with indoor and outdoor seating and there were posters for live music. Pretty cool place. read more

Parking is spread out. Parking lot and street parking. Plenty of places to sit, mostly outside. Started with Vice (Hefeweizen), smooth and tasty. All orders at the bar. They have brick oven pizza, salads and the like. Wide selection of beers on tap to choose from and plenty to take home with you. Great place, come check it out! read more

4th of July early evening and we snagged a seat in the beer garden just before the music started. Was happy to be away from the stage so we could visit comfortably. 3 flights of 4 beers were ordered and every one received a favorable review! Lots of good feedback about the 100% Maine ingredient made. We also enjoyed a pretzel with the beers (the mustard had quite a kick) and took home 2 brick oven pizza's that were well received. read more

Fabulous place! Great beers - tried a flight and all were excellent. Great outdoor space and dog friendly. Ordered a elote roasted corn pizza with cilantro and cotija cheese and a lime crema, OMG what a fantastic combination of flavors. Absolutely one of the best brewery pizzas I have ever had. Would go back for sure if ever back in the area. read more

This place is so fun and a little less busy since it's right outside of bar harbor. I came here by myself on a Saturday evening and was treated to a lovely live band made up of a one big family. Beer- I got a flight of IPAs, they weren't my favorite of all time but that's simply preference, they were definitely flavorful and unique Food- I got a mushroom pizza which was fired outside. It was slightly charred which is fine but I felt like there could have been a little more flavor- like truffle oil or a garlic butter sauce which may have been there but it needed a little more. The mushrooms were really tasty thought and I still devoured the whole thing Service- despite it getting pretty busy I got my flight right away and my pizza promptly. The person taking orders was really friendly and cheerful read more

Fantastic beers and wood fired pizzas. I tried various 5 oz pours of various beers and each one was flavorful, as described. If you like IPAs, you're in great luck as this place has a number of them... and they're tasty. If you like spice, try the Thai beer. A perfect heat in the back of your throat. It does not matter what beer you order; it's a great quality. We tried a pork belly pizza and watched the food coming out, and the same rule applies. If you don't like it, you just don't like the flavor of what you ordered. The beer garden has a great vibe! Although we didn't bring one, pups are welcome. Give this place a whirl! read more

We love this place when we're visiting Maine. Delicious pizzas, great seating area (in nice weather), and good beer. I am somewhat of a picky drinker and I always find something I love. I also appreciate the parking lot nearby, though street parking near here isn't bad either. Ellsworth is lucky to have this spot since there's very little else like it in the area! read more

I have to say, this place was great and may have been one of the highlights of my trip to Coastal Maine. Awesome pizza and great beer but what really stood out was the vibe of this location. We went during on open mic night and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Cool venue, good beer, entertainment and pizza. What more could you ask for. read more

The space was incredibly dog friendly and waaay bigger than I thought from pictures. Everyone was really nice and they were helpful and the oyster beer was magical. Great space- great beer- pizza was a little greasy (I loved it, but it might not be for everyone) read more

This brewery was exactly what my family and I were looking for! The service was phenomenal, they seemed excited to inform us of their options and what their personal favorites were. We ended up trying every beer on the menu!! The beer was super unique and the food was delicious. We got the Cheese Bread and it was crisp, flavorful, and of course CHEESY. Beer wise I recommend trying the Thai hot if they have it in rotation! The environment was extremely welcoming and it was a great hangout spot. The outside was also stunning with its lighting and interesting seating arrangements. Overall, if you are visiting Downtown Ellsworth and looking for some good beer, good vibes, and good food, look no further. This is the place to go! read more

Pizza is ok. Was disappointed to arrive to sign up for open mic. No one seemed in charge. No emcee, no one to explain process and name erased before I even got on stage. Spent 30 bucks waiting to go on stage. Lots of kids too. Not a bar atmosphere. More like family dining. read more

I tried Night Nurse at dinner in Stonington and really liked it so I wanted to try some of their other beers. I called from Bar Harbor to ask about getting their ESB and found that I'd need to stop by to get some. I drove up and wound up getting a good supply of beer and we had pizza, lager and cider wine while there. Naomi helped me on the phone and in person and she was super knowledgeable and friendly. The pizza was very tasty and the atmosphere is very relaxed and inviting. Well worth the drive from Bar Harbor! I'll go back for sure the next time I'm in the area. read more

Had a flight of 3 beers - cost more than 3 individual 5 oz pours - when I mentioned the price difference, the young lady said they did not usually have $3 pours and changed nothing. Beer was fine, Ciders were ok. Customer Service ?? #VickieTravelz read more

WOW is all I can say! The pizza here is up there with the best, if not the best I've ever had! Absolutely fantastic wood fired pizza. I got the jalapeño popper, which was just incredible. They also have a wide variety of pepper flakes from Flat Iron Pepper Co to add on. Every level of heat and flavor profile you could want, plus a variety of hot sauces. Cannot say enough about the pizza and the very friendly guy making it (oven is outside and you actually pick up the pizza from the guy cooking it, as well as the pepper flakes and sauces) who recommended a couple of options for my desired level of heat from some pepper flakes. The beer was quite good too, and the girl behind the bar was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers they offer, and happily offered a taste to make sure it was something I'd like. Can't wait to come back to Ellsworth to visit this place again! read more

Friendly service. Good beer. The date and goat cheese pizza never disappoints! The live music was a great addition to our dinner. Maybe gluten free options more often? read more

Awesome beer and atmosphere! Had a great time hanging out at this brewery. They had a great selection of beer; not too focused on a single type of brew or anything. The ESB and Night Nurse were 2 of my favorites. They had a Double and Triple IPAs that were incredibly smooth too. Pizzas were fantastic. A bit expensive but very worth it. They were made in the brick oven around back. Parking was a bit tight, so I would suggest parking on the street rather than the parking lot. Dogs are allowed! read more

Great flights and the vibes are just right. A little out of the way but seek this place out. Good pizza and a great pretzel.

Buck a shuck oysters (Tuesday 5-7). Unique AND good beers. Amazing service (everyone is so nice and went out of their way to tie in the experience). Do I need to say much more? Fogtown brewery is a small space, but worth it if you can get a spot. Their oysters sell out quick, so if you cant get there before 6:30, you may or may not get any. Add the $5 homemade sauces. Their blueberry mignonette and spicy cocktail sauce were yummy (we shoveled the last drops into our mouths despite not having anymore oysters). If you're not a fan of oysters, or cant make it in time, the beers are worth visiting alone. We got two flights (8 beers total) and found that there was AT LEAST one beer for everyone. Make sure to check this place out if you're visiting bar harbor. read more

Fun relaxing atmosphere, and they allowed our Doodle to come in as it was raining! The cider was really good, but a bit on the pricey side. Still a nice casual experience. Very small venue inside. read more

This was one of two brewery stops my husband and I made en route to Bar Harbor. We enjoyed our beer flight during a concert Fogtown was hosting. It's worth the stop! (NOTE: If there is a concert, there may be a cover fee to enter the brewery.) read more

The best thing about this brewery is the pizza place attached to it. The beer is mediocre. The staff is TERRIBLE. They are 100% not knowledgable about the beer. They had about 10 taps, but only 5 on the board. When I asked if they had other beer she didn't know. Except then other people ordered beer that wasn't on the board. It was the weirdest thing. And they were so rude when asked questions about the beer. The only good thing about this place is the seriously amazing pizza. It was delicious. We will not be back here for beer but would get pizza here again. read more

Fogtown is a small, cute brewery in the heart of Bar Harbor that also seems off the beaten path probably because people haven't discovered how good the beer AND the food are. We tried 7 different beers, and they were all excellent. We also had the street corn salad and chicken bahn mi sandwich (ask for and apply liberally extra kewpie mayo). Both were outstanding; the salad was one of the best I've had in a long time. With the jalapeño dressing, it was actually quite spicy, which I LOVED! The service was also really great. I probably won't come back to this area anytime soon, but I'd definitely go back to Foghorn. Cheers! read more

Good atmosphere great people excellent variety of beer, Took some beer with us before leaving. Especially enjoyed the night nurse beer. Try it. You'll have a good experience. read more

I would give the pizza a four-star review. Maybe even five star. But my review is only two stars because of the really, really bad service. OK I got the story from the people at the restaurant. Somebody was out with a broken leg. Check. Somebody was out with Covid. Check. Somebody had a birthday and didn't come to work for their birthday. Check. OK, then why don't you tell me when I order the pizza that the wait is likely to be well over an hour? If you had told me that coming in, it would've given me options. Maybe I would've left. May be able to take in a walk and come back with the pizza was being prepared. But instead, I'm sitting there waiting for about 70 minutes to get my two small pizzas? I love the laid back Gen Z vibe and the whole counter culture feel, but it doesn't have to include bad service BTW, the beer is pretty good too! read more

Great pizza, great beer!! My favorite is Night Nurse or Double Shift. When your there you feel like you are in a different town. I love that. Staff is super friendly and ready to answer any questions. Even if your not a beer fan.. they have wines, and ciders. Who doesn't love pizza? Not just your run of the mill pizza either. read more

Excellent pizza. Great selection of brews. Fast service. Lovely outdoor setting. A great place to hang out!

We pulled up and couldn't find parking since the place is on a side road across from residential homes. We got cheese and pepperoni pizza which were fantastic, and a lobster pizza that was just okay. The cheesy bread and pretzels were great. The only beverages were beer, seltzer, and water. No ice and no straws either. The place is pretty, just some picnic tables in a garden. Overall a good experience, nothing special. read more

Great atmosphere and a good selection of beers. I was drawn to this brewery as I was searching for nearby breweries for our trip to Acadia because of their hilarious video about how to social distance properly, and I'm happy to say that their standards lived up to the video. Their menu is IPA heavy, but they do offer a couple of sours and a very strong cider read more
