Trust the reviews! I found out about this brewery through the Down East Magazine. I saved it on my phone and decided to stop by one day on our way to Rockland. Located in what seems to be the middle of nowhere, this brewery is exactly our type of place; they had everything we look for in a brewery, including space. I love breweries, but I hate crowded breweries where you're shoulder to shoulder with other customers. Odd Alewives has the most spacious outdoor area -- with countless tables, benches, and lawn chairs -- where you feel like you're in someone's backyard. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and pet-friendly! The beers themselves were delicious. Their stout was phenomenal. Service was also top-notch. We told them a bit about our taste profile and they had great recommendations for us. We can't wait to go back.

These days its not that easy to find a nice place to grab a beer and relax without sipping through a mask. As we traversed north on US1 though there was a brewery we wanted to try, Odd Alewives Farm and Brewery. It wasn't too hard to find, and just a little off the main route. We walked into a nice farm like building and ordered our beers. It was nice customer service and friendly as all heck. We went out back where there was a large spacious area. and grabbed a couple chairs. The place was great with different types of hangout areas with a firepit for some or some reclined chairs like we grabbed. We could look out over a field to be side and some woods to the other. Not to mention excellent people watching in-between. We went back for a second round, being sure to try a couple different varietals of suds. There were some really tasty options. They served food as well, but we had a plan for dinner already so we resisted. Maybe next time though.

Beautiful setting, great beer, fun summer menu of light appetizers. I have a feeling it's super lovely in the Fall. Had the Odd Gem and Odd Spell. Both had a nice taste. Really enjoyed the Odd Spell! Will come again!

Passing through town & searching for a relaxed dinner spot. We happened upon this place & were so glad we did! Beers & pizza were judged to be amazing by everyone's standards, and we had some hard-to-please members of our group. The outdoor & indoor seating options were lovely, this would be a great place to spend a leisurely evening! Only wish we had had more time to hang out!

This place is a hidden gem! The staff is super friendly, the beer is great, and the wood fire pizza is delicious. There is local wine as well and non-alcoholic beverages if beer isn't your thing. We built our own pizza: red sauce, pulled pork shoulder, pickles, with an orange drizzle finishing. It was amazing! We're definitely visiting again when in the area.

One of the tasty lighter summer ales

Driving through town and made a quick turn to check this place out. This is the cutest brewery I've been too. My farm ale was excellent.

Whenever I come up to Maine, the two things on my must eat list are lobsters and blueberries. I…read moreprefer my lobsters steamed with fresh drawn butter and my Maine blueberries churned into ice cream. At Lulu's, this little ice cream shack tucked away in an ally behind Fog Bar and Cafe does one of the finer renditions of fresh wild Maine blueberry ice cream. They allow flavors to be split so I decided to double up my local fruit bounty with a combination of Maine blueberry and Maine raspberry ice cream. Likely using milk churned from local cows as well, the sweetness of the fruit comes through as distinct notes of sweetness/tartness with textures from the fruit still palpable on the tongue with the rich velvety ice cream providing a lingering contrast. Like some of the other sophisticated flavors offered daily (bourbon vanilla, gingery ginger, key lime pie, to name a few), the flavor combinations tend to veer towards not being cloyingly sweet so young kids may not be their biggest fans. One of the fun things I derive out of writing these reviews is doing a little background research when I come across something which I'm not familiar, and I often pick up a random fun fact or two which stays with me. On this occasion, I noticed that in addition to root beer floats, they offered a second option called the Moxie float. Since inquiring minds want to know, I asked the lady behind the counter what that was all about, and it's a local popular drink called Moxie soda topped with one's choice of ice cream or gelato. (nerd alert) Digging further, I learned that Moxie is a popular local soda created in 1876 by a doctor in Massachusetts which contained gentian root extract, and was patented for its reported medicinal benefits for curing insomnia and other neurological conditions. The gentian root has a distinct bitter note, which unsurprisingly is why it is one of the key ingredients for Angiostura bitters which are commonly used in a variety of classic cocktails. It is not only the official soft drink of Maine but curiously is now part of the Kirin Holdings Company of Tokyo, Japan. How often does one have the opportunity to partake in a sophisticated ice cream float which boasts that kind of pedigree in the humblest of spaces? The final fun fact that I found most interesting was that the advertising slogans for Moxie soda came to create the neologism for the word moxie, which we use in everyday language to describe someone with force of courage, determination, or nerve. All this to say that this little dessert shack packs a lot of moxie dishing out some creative sophisticated frozen sweets amidst the straight-forward New England charm in Rockland, Maine. Pro-tip: bring cash since there may be a minimum for credit card transactions despite the fact that the yelp site states they accept cards.

I ordered the amarena gelato which is vanilla and cherries. What I got was definitely not gelato,…read morenot even close. It was gritty, dry and mealy in texture unlike a gelato which should be silky in texture. Furthermore, there was not a speck of cherry to be found. Waste of money. I took one bite and threw it out. Please don't advertise that you're serving gelato when it's not.
