Wow! I can't believe that I am just now discovering this place only 35-ish minutes up route 26 from…read morethe Gray turnpike exit. Fantastic and creative brews (and "guest stars" like a Absalom cider), a very relaxing and chill vibe, a nice open space inside, and incredible seating options outside, even in the winter. Lots of outdoor activities, including x-country skiing free of charge, and plenty of parking. Not having been here before, my friend and I appreciated the clear signage of where to go for food vs. gear. We were fortunate to get to the barn before all the morning skiers arrived for lunch and were able to order and seat ourselves pretty quickly upstairs. We looked at the menu and went back downstairs to order food and drinks. The drinks we carried upstairs, but the pizza we ordered was brought to us. To pay and to order more drinks, downstairs you go. And with the free x-country ski trails, on a nice day, this place jams up pretty fast. Soon tables are packed, there are lines to get food and drinks, and to use the 3 individual non-gender restrooms. Just a few things I found a bit odd or inconvenient - 1) They have a wonderful beer selection, but don't do flights :( 2) The hybrid service model is a bit confusing and certainly inconvenient. Technology could certainly help smooth this out. 3) To pay, you either have to pay in full (and tip) when you order, or have to wait in line at the same line where people are ordering in order to pay, 4) 3 single bathrooms are not enough for the peak capacity Aside from the wonderful beer selection, the highlights were free x-country skiing with a warming hut, plenty of parking and friendly staff. This is my new go-to winter refuge :)

They have fireplace, picnic tables, high tops etc. I ordered a Pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and it didn't disappoint! My wife ordered a cheese pizza. For dessert we ordered the Zeppole which were fresh and sugary! Stop by! We didn't get a beer as we don't drink, but great food and super dog friendly as you can hang outside.

The menu is expansive and inclusive, but ovewhelming and the food that I've had the few times I've ventured that far has not been as good as I was anticipating.

They make their own everything. Including the gelato. I was met with exceptional service. The menu was big and the food was really well done.

I'll be back for more.

This was hands down one of the worst meals I have ever had out at restaurant…read more The waiter was great but frazzled. He was the host, server, bartender and walker and had 7 tables seated. It was my birthday so I redeemed a grey goose martini and it was watery and had stuff floating in it like pine needle pieces? The olives were tiny and as shriveled as my exes heart. There was no bread without a charge or other pre meal taste which was disappointing for the price point. My risotto meal was actually inedible. I took one bite and had my husband try it and put down my fork. The risotto had the consistency of a dollar store bag of instant rice and the flavor of a watered down packet of chicken ramen seasoning. The steak was not like any other flank steak I have ever had. It was overcooked and still cold and the texture was off. It had a weird balsamic sauce that did nothing for it. Husband got a chicken parm and ate it all because he was starving but the sauce tasted old and had an aftertaste. I have never done this before in my life but I ordered a pizza while I was sitting waiting for the check. I had waited all day for a special birthday dinner and was left hangry in the end. There were a lot of people there and they seemed to be enjoying their food and the ratings were good. This may be a case of being a small town 8/10 but a 1/10 in Portland. Big nope on the books for this one.

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.

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!

Their menu creatively and humorously describes the offerings, which we really enjoyed. We visited in the dead of Winter, but there were still a decent handful of diners in the joint.

We were the only customers that arrived right as they opened which allowed us time to chat with one of the owners. I forget his name, but he was so welcoming & fun to talk with. We pulled up a seat at the super long bar & took in the atmosphere. There was another associate that was prepping for the daily taco bar (?) they do. From what we understood, they don't serve food until 3pm or 4pm. The location is so unsuspecting for a brewing company. We found the place on our GPS but it's definitely not a building you'd easily see when passing by. It's very industrial in appearance & getting to it was a bit different. Outside there are chairs & cornhole boards. I believe there was a fire pit & they had lights strung throughout. We only stayed for a beer but we'd love to come back in the summertime & hang out outside & get a better feel for the live entertainment they have & meet some other beer-loving people!
