Margherita Pizza
Delaney A.

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!

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

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.

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.

Fantastic beer and pizza! Family jam and flagship IPA were delicious. Get the pizza with the ricotta! Staff were all lovely and helpful.

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.

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!

Food Menu

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.

Bar area to order your flights!

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

Outside seating

Plenty of dog friendly outside seating, excellent service and great beer and food. The menu is very creative and everything we ordered was delicious. The beer was outstanding!

Chicken and Rice pizza, exactly like the bowl - the sauce was too hot, also accurate!

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.

It was fantastic. Possibly the best meal we had on vacation . I would strongly recommend this place if you are in town.

I like the Blackened Haddock Tacos and the pretzel sticks. Pro Tip: get BOTH the "beer cheese" and the "beer mustard" and get extra of both. You might have extra, but you can use the extra on sandwiches tomorrow. The extra mustard is also great with cheese and crackers as a snack. The blueberry cobbler is fantastic! The peanut butter pretzel pie did not impress my husband; he said the pretzels themselves tasted cheap, like grocery store pretzels. I have been trying to get them to add a vegetarian pasty to the menu. They have almost nothing vegetarian in there, and a Greggs style cheese and onion pasty would also be extremely traditional and surely wildly popular. PLEASE ADD A VEGETARIAN PASTY!! And/or a fish pasty, which would also be very traditional. Oooh, what about a Stargazy Pasty with leeks and cream? Now, THAT would be traditional and would certainly get some media attention. I will raise my rating to 5 stars as soon as this place adds a good vegetarian or fish Signature Entree (preferably a pasty!!). That is literally the only reason they're not getting 5 stars, that it's way too oriented towards meat eaters. (They do have a grilled cheese toasty and a vegan garden burger, so I would still go there if you are vegetarian or vegan, but keep your expectations low when it comes to selection.)

If you're looking for delicious cider, this is the place to be! Both Winterport Winery and…read morePenobscot Bay Brewery are located in the same building and share a bar. Inside you'll find a warm, cozy atmosphere. There are a few tables decorated with a collage of wine and beer bottle labels along with a number of chairs. The wooden bar also has seating and there are some sofas off in the corner if you're looking to lounge a bit. Along the walls you'll find displays and shelves with beer cans and bottled wine, all for sale if you find something you enjoy. The flights are very affordable and great for sampling the different beers and ciders. The server was very friendly and made several good recommendations. The beers are on the hoppy side (still good, but not the style I usually go for). The ciders are what won me over. I highly recommend getting a cider flight. On occasion, they will host live music - so keep an eye out on their social media to find out about upcoming events. This is going to be a spot that I bring friends and family when they come up to visit. I highly recommend Winterport Winery and Penobscot Bay Brewery!

I don't know why this business comes up as a suggestion, the place is closed every time I drive…read morepast. I have been by at all hours and seen no cars outside and no lights on inside. The place is closed up tight as a drum and has rickety wooden steps to get to it. Certainly not to ADA standards and not worth the time to figure out if and when they are open.
