Tasting paddle: vanlife hauling oats tubular ozone golden Grove   kolsch
Sharon R.

@@ road trip post @@ This place is SWEET! I dare say Orono's beer would do well in any market, and I hope to see them in DC one day. Notes: * I recommend getting the tasting paddle. All beers were worth the try. * Favorites included the Haulin Oats IPA, Kolsch, and Witbier. * The Haulin Oats IPA was (imo) the most interesting, very smooth, malty but still citrusy. The Kolsch is v refreshing. * Friendly people behind the bar. * It's a long narrow shop. Still plenty of seating in the bar as well as tables/chairs. * Selling growlers and soon cans as well. * Good artistic eye. Like their logo (even left the taproom with plenty stickers), beer label designs, and the shop itself, with exposed brick and large posters for their various beers.

Menu on the blackboard. Oh, you can get slices too.

Bangor Beer Co. in Bangor, ME for a few pints & some easy eats for the last of four breweries on…read moreour trip in & around the city. Another new brewery for me, I was barely familiar with the brand other than enjoying the DISCO SASQUATCH DIPA in can back in mid 2025. These guys were established in late 2017 & will be celebrating ten years next year in 2027. This area is beyond flooded with taverns, restaurants & a good amount of breweries, but with a name like Bangor Beer Co. it felt appropriate to check it out while staying in the city. The brewery is attached to the Oriental Jade restaurant which also doubles as a kitchen for the brewery with a mix of American & Asian/Chinese food. A good amount of different styles represented on the menu with a emphasis on various IPA's, some lighter beers like a Kolsch, Lager, Gose, Cream Ale, Seltzer & more. Let's check out the three pints I scooped & get into the beer a little more here. I started off with a pint of the BRITE Lager, a excellent light bodied Helles that brought just the right balance of malts & hops. This was a great crisp & smooth starter with a subtle sweet honey finish. I then grabbed a 10oz pour of the HABITAP Kolsch, it was another solid light offering with a malty, bready & sweet flavor. Even at a light 4.5%ABV it still had a good amount of layers & was something you could crush a few of for sure. I finished with a pint of the delicious JURI IPA, this was a super hazy New England IPA that brought the juice at a perfect 7.3%ABV. Theres some guava & passionfruit gimmicks here with a ton of tropical flavor that easily made this my favorite beer of the visit. We ordered the Totchos, which if you have followed my pages you know I'm a tot slut. These were as good as expected with cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado & savory sauce. Then came the Bao Buns with Pork Belly which changed the game. There was a lot of food stuffed in the buns with the pork belly, pickled vegetables, hoisin & cherry chili sauce to finish it off. I left devastatingly stuffed along with the beers & couldn't have put anything else in my body if I tried. All your usual seating options here including tables, hightops & bar with a patio area outside. Plenty of beer to go for home or tastings with friends later. Great spot & definitely BEERGASM worthy with those light beers & dank IPA standing out. Cheers!

Oh, this was close to a five-star review. I had arrived in Bangor in the early afternoon, and was…read moreglad to find this place to be walkable from my hotel. It had a nice, friendly vibe, and the beers I tried were all good. The Catchphrase IPA packed a ton of flavor into a relatively low ABV gem. A festbier was also good. Though a walkable distance, I didn't want to carry two four packs the mile-ish walk back to my lodging, so I figured I'd just pick the cans up the next evening when I was finished with my day trip. All good. The bartender was very nice but under the weather. At one point, she turned away from us at the bar (thank you), but ended up sneezing toward the tap handles. Still, though, I am glad to have some cans of the Catchphrase in my fridge...
