What a cool place! I've know of Lunch for a while and decided to finally stop by the brewery and it was beautiful inside. We just stopped for some drinks before dinner, and I did indeed get a wine, and it was very yummy. The server was also super friendly and let me try the wine before! read more

This place is cool! The water feature, mossy walls and giant whale skeleton create such a unique atmosphere, plus having delicious pizza amidst it all makes for a great evening. I went for the community pizza night to benefit Maine Audubon, and ordered the margherita pizza. For $18 it's a decent size, and super yummy. I ate the whole thing myself, so not a huge pizza, but I was very hungry which helped. The staff were friendly and fun to talk to, and the food came out quick! Bonus points for bathrooms with entire "rooms" for stalls, and feeling very clean. And even more bonus points for an Inciardi Mystery Print machine! read more

Such a cool brewery to visit and it's a must if you're a beer lover who's roaming the area. The facility is massive. At first, I was like, "am I in a museum?" Immediately grabbing your eyes will be the whale skeleton suspended at the ceiling of the building. It is a real and the staff shared the story behind the skeleton. This shouldn't come as a surprise but they have an expansive beer selection. For my west coast beer lovers, Pliny the Elder is to Russian River, as Lunch is to Maine Beer. The Lunch IPA is a solidly crisp and daily drinker; it is Maine Beer's flagship product. Out of the other IPAs, I kept going back to Lunch. read more

Maine Beer Company in Freeport is a delicious stop (or destination!) that consistently delivers on both food and drinks. Their sausage and Calabrian chili pizza hits the perfect balance of savory and spicy, the honey is not overpowering, which I appreciate! The beers are really impressive, with IPAs and pale ales that are clearly crafted with care and attention to quality. They have usual favorites and some seasonal specials on tap. I love that they welcome dogs in their outdoor area, so my pup can relax along with me. It's perfectly positioned as either a great lunch break when driving further north or a nice escape from the nearby outlet shopping scene. You can tell they actually mean their "Do what's right" motto, and it shows in everything from the beer quality to the friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Freeport area! read more

What a beautiful brewery! This is a must visit for any beer lover visiting Portland. Lots of space indoors and outdoors, but I choose a seat at the bar. I enjoyed a flight of beers that were all stellar. The bartenders were friendly and nice to chat with. read more

Maine Beer is quite the Place. Their LUNCH IPA is a regional standard and highly sought after elsewhere. Ive been to the taproom twice and was doubly pleased this session. It's just so Beautiful, modern and new and so clean!! The restroom was spotless. They were cleaning the taps near closing time and the pretzel warmer, extensively. Our beer tender Anna was so helpful and all smiles. I think it was Ian cleaning the tap and offered a free pretzel since it was in the bin time to shut down. Pretzel and house mustard are highly recommended btw. [They supposedly have great pizza] Tried a few beers, IPAs and sampled the stouts, order the Tom on nitro. The Lunch just seems iconic. Just right, not to bitter, so drinkable. read more

Cute little brewery with a very laid back atmosphere. They have a lot of IPAs, which my husband loves. I am not a huge fan of IPAs, so I wish they had more of a variety, but my husband does love it here. It's cool to be able to visit a brewery that you've heard so much about. They have a wood fired pizza menu available as well. Our service was fine. You order at the bar and they bring any food you get to your table. read more

A large brewery with ample seating on multiple levels. Their motto is Do What is Right, which is on their glasses. They donate a portion of their sales to the environment. They have a no tipping policy, but you can donate to a non- profit. The indoor space promotes their commitment to the environment. We had a few flights and lunch was everyone's favorite. It is a blend of tropical fruits with onion and pine. We also had the sweet corn and jalapeño pizza , which was amazing. The black bean puree was the base topped with a chipotle crema, corn , cheese and micro cilantro. I often do not like a lot of cilantro, but the micro cilantro was less leafy than usual and added a subtle flavor. We purchased a bottle of each beer - Breakfast, Lunch and a Dinner to go. Definitely worth a short drive from Portland. read more

We were in Freeport to explore while on vacation, and we wanted some beer and dinner. This place exceeded all expectations. The stout I got was delicious, and the pilsner my wife got was one of the best pilsners we've had. The pizza we got (sweet potato and nduja) was absolutely amazing. We got it because it looked unique and fun, but it was perfect. All the flavors blended perfectly together, and the nduja sausage was incredibly flavorful. It had a good amount of spice as well. On top of all that, they don't do tips here, because the workers are paid well! All "tips" instead go to nonprofits. All in all, this place was amazing, and I would definitely recommend. read more

Well this place was awesome ! It sucks I had to carry all my flights of beer upstairs as the bar wasn't opened up there. Would have tried more beers but there wasn't much room to drink upstairs or downstairs. Waited about five to ten minutes to even get in the place. Parking lot was at capacity after lunch time. Got some bottles and beer art to go !!!! 4.5 Stars read more

Visited on a trip to New England area and found the taproom to be cool and unique! There's a (I assume model) of a whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling and tree fountain right in the middle of the taproom! I tried their beer called 'Lunch' and was pleasantly surprised how easy drinking it was. I found it on many menus around the area as well. They also had their values and contributions to wildlife and such posted around the building which was an awesome thing to see! read more

My husband and I are new to Portland and this place was highly recommended to us. It did not disappoint. It's a very family friendly atmosphere with friendly staff. John was our bartender and he was awesome! We tried the sausage and Calabrian chili pizza which was delicious. I really enjoyed their lunch beer as well as their little whaleboat, both are very approachable IPAs even if you aren't someone who normally drinks IPAs. Highly recommend on your Maine visit! read more

A little bit like Burger King. Order at the counter, get your drinks and wait. When your pizza takes over an hour to show up, you don't have a wait-person to help you. Beautiful! Beautiful fountain, planters, beautiful building! Loud! So loud! Kids running up and down the stairs, kids running between the tables. It's always fun until ... read more

A fantastic stop whether you are heading here as a destination or are just stopping by when traveling along I295 in Freeport. Easy parking, great pizza and a pet friendly covered patio area. I admit I am a Lunch fanatic so this place is a must stop place for me. Beer is amazingly fresh. Seating indoors is in an open area on beautiful Picnic style tables. We always get a pizza and salad to share. The pizza is delicious Neapolitan style while the salad maybe my favorite salad anywhere. Super fresh. Get the feta add on, it is worth it. Most of the time I just get a Lunch as my beverage but getting a four pour flight once in a while is also fun. Be sure to check out the Merch area. I like the hats and beer glasses. Very nice, clean rest rooms. Kid friendly! Friendly, helpful service. read more

Biggest disappointment on our brewcation. The locals love it. 1. All the beers are IPAs. I'm sick of hoppy beers after sampling so many. 2. It's a mass operation. Queue for a table. Queue for beer. 3. Gorgeous venue, a little uppity, but they seat you and didn't ask of we wanted outside or upstairs- and we didn't know to ask. Thanks for the help. Nice beertenders, but overall, we were not impressed. We LOVED Stars and Stripes, just up the road. Go there instead unless you're a hop head who likes to queue. read more

Must-visit spot in Freeport that's even a must-visit if you're staying in Portland. Clean, modern, upbeat, two levels, indoor and outdoor seating. You order food at the bar and they bring it to you. Seating is spacious, comfortable, and well spread. Besides having great beer, they have great beer options. You can get various sizes to minimize commitment and maximize variety. They have beer flights for even better variety. Knowledgeable staff guide you through the selections and even offer small tastings if you're not sure. Wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza is surprisingly good, especially the pepperoni. The tartness of the tomatoes, the darkness of the crust, and the saltiness of the pepperoni are all great complements to the beer. It's very good pizza that I wouldn't say is the best I've had, but I'd say it's the best match for beer. Unfortunately, it's whole pizzas only, no slices. Warm olives, pretzels, and crunchy spicy pecans are additional snacks you can get to have with your beer. The salads are surprisingly good too, but let's face it: it's the beer that's the draw here and there's none better and none served better. Plenty of easy parking, which isn't always the case with other breweries. Highly recommended. read more

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner can be had here. Those are the names of some of their core beer. The place is quite big with two floors of seating and a tree water feature inside. My bf ordered a flight of beers. We also had the cheese & charcuterie to snack on. I wish we were told what kind of cheese they were when it arrived. If you want to order beer to go, be aware that they are in glass bottles. When it was time to get the check, we were told the tip goes to charity. Overall, it's a solid brewery. read more

We have had their brews before but from the tap it's amazing. So fresh. ! If IPAs are your jam they have a ton to try. My husband tried four of them and was pleased. I had their fall stout and it was delicious. If you are hungry they have snacks as well as pizza. Pizza was cooked well and so tasty. We spilt one and that was plenty. Now that the important stuff is out of the way .... The building is beautiful with a lot of tap rooms. Parking is ample and we had no problem parking. It's a well organized operation. They have pizza boxes for leftovers , menus available. We were there on a weekday but I am betting it's packed on the weekends. It's a must stop if you are in Maine and love good beer ! read more

I would highly recommend adding this brewery to your stop if you are traveling in the area or even if you live in the area! The brewery is very clean and modern and they also give back to the community and do environmental work as notated on paintings throughout the brewery. The beers are mostly IPA which are not my favorite but from the flight we got, I could tell it was quality! We did not get any food but the kitchen was churning out pizzas which smelled amazing and ample sized salads. There is also an upstairs area as well as a gift shop. read more

Maine Beer - Tasting time! - Breweries Near Me - Freeport, Maine

This brewery is a must stop when you're in Maine. It is located close to the interstate and isn't too far from Portland, so it's an easy uber. I ordered the flight of 8 beers added an extra taster to get all 9 beers options on tap. All 9 beers were excellent and you cannot go wrong with any choice (I personally recommend the Dinner double IPA). They had a good variety of beers to choose from, but they're mainly known for their IPAs. Service is very quick and friendly. They have wood fired pizza and pretzels. The pretzel is really good and is served with beer mustard. The brewery has a good selection of merchandise and beer to-go. Very cool place to hangout as well! read more

Came across this place to stop for an early lunch. They open at 11am, which was convenient for us. We were the 1st customers to arrive; several others filed in behind us. The hostess was upbeat & explained the concept of how to order, where we could get water & where the restrooms are. The place is MASSIVE - there's an entire upstairs with another bar. They have large windows in the tasting room where you can see the brewery. Everything is so new & modern with high tops w/ stools, seating at the bar & lower tables. There's a really cool tree fountain that I had to take a picture of. The concept is that you order your food & beer at the bar; the food is delivered to your table but you pick up your beer there. They offer 12" pizzas, some salads & snacks. They had plenty of people on staff in each area. Our pizza arrived promptly, but it was burnt on the underside. It was still okay, we just didn't eat the crust. Definitely a cool place to hang out for a bit. They offer starting a tab if you'd like. They have napkin dispensers at each table. If the table needs clearing, someone is quick to act & take care of it. Curious to see if it's the same during busier times. read more

Food was very good. Atmosphere was welcoming and they allow four legged friends. I would recommend stopping in, when in the area.

One of Maine's best beer companies, with a focus on IPAs and a DIPA - sort of the opposite of Allagash flavor-wise. My favorite is Mean Old Tom, a delicious vanilla stout! Try the flight if you don't know which you'd prefer, and then get a glass or two. Their pizzas are some of Maine's tastiest - not a wide selection but each is so good. Share a house salad and you'll have a full meal. read more

Beer + pizza + nice people/staff + clean atmosphere = great time. I'm not a huge fan of IPAs, but every bar on our trip up thru New England, people seemed to be ordering this brewery's Lunch beer so we had to check it out. Lots of different beers, but the cool thing was that they had a wood fire pizza oven and it was so good. I wasn't sure was the Calabrian chili was, but beware, it has a kick to it! read more

Stopped here for lunch after a long morning on the road. Greeted by the friendliest host ever, who gave us a mini-tour on our way to our table, which was in their beautiful outside area. Everyone was beyond nice and welcoming, and I LOVE their all-tips-go-to-nonprofits policy. We had a mushroom pizza and the warm olives and it was all delicious. Did not try the beer because we had a bit of driving to do after but what we saw around us looked great. Rare is the restaurant I wish we had in D.C. after a trip (we have almost everything), but this is at the top of the list. Don't miss it while in Freeport. read more

One of my favorite breweries in Portland. Gorgeously spacious and airy, with equally fabulous brews. "Lunch" of course is a fan favorite, but definitely branch out and try the IPAs that they only offer in-house. "Dinner" is not to be underestimated! While you're sipping on your IPAs, grab some bites to share. My picks are the sausage and calabrian chili pizza or cheese bread sticks doused in their marinara sauce. read more

Great spot with plenty of seating inside and an outside patio to match. It was getting crowded around 1pm on a Saturday, but there was still plenty of space and the staff kept things moving quickly. The beers were decent and prices were reasonable with a flight of 4 running $12. They had a good selection of food - sandwiches, pretzels, and pizza (this was really good and cooked in a brick stove). While this was a bit out of our way, it was worth the trip. read more

I've been coming for years (since the days of the tiny tasting room up top), but realized I'd never written a review! My husband loves their beers, and their "tap room" aka restaurant is awesome!! The pizza is so good, we especially love the pepperoni. Their soft pretzel is also delicious. I appreciate that they offer other drink options (wine / soft drinks) besides beer. I recently came to celebrate my birthday and they had no issue allowing me to bring in my own cake, and brought plates and forks for us as well :) Service is great!! They're not a hidden gem or anything since they're so popular, but well worth the praise they get! Definitely make yourself a reservation and prepare for some goodness read more

Maine Beer - Pizza, salad and candied pecans (added them to the salad and it was so good!) - Breweries Near Me - Freeport, Maine

This has been on my to-do list for quite some time, so while I was in Portland, I decided to take the trip to Freeport with my husband to finally try this place out. In general it's a very nice brewery, and very sleek in modern inside. They allow dogs outside which is nice and they also have darts and corn hole available as well. The service we received was amazing- I did not catch our name but she was great with telling us a little history about the brewery along with explaining some of the beers she was serving us. We decided to get beer flights because we wanted to try them all. The only downside to this brewery was that most of the beers tasted the same (but they were all really good!) and they did not offer any tours. They also do not do shipping of any kind so if you need to pick up something, I highly suggest getting what you can there and brining it home with you! If I was ever in the area I wouldn't hesitate to return, it was a memorable experience. read more

I went to Maine Beer company last night for a fundraiser and had a great time. It's much bigger than I expected. Lots of inside & outside seating. You probably never have to wait to be seated, which I love! The bartenders are very attentive, knowledgeable and nice, a huge plus. We got pizzas for the event and it was just average, nothing special. Under cooked & underwhelming. I would not order it again. The beer I chose was the Peepers, pretty good, but I'm no beer connoisseur. It was trivia night, we played & won. It was so much fun. All in all, I'd 100% go back but order something other than pizza. read more
