    Maple mustard chicken sandwich
    Shawn H.

    Good food in cool spot. Fruitful sour was very good. Food took a bit to come out considering it wasn't very busy.

    Come for the great food and drinks, stay for all the fun! We love to bring the kids; they have a blast playing Big Buck Hunter and Mariocart and the popcorn machine while the adults enjoy great beer, food and music especially on the weekends when they have live bands. Service is always willing to solve any problems that might arise and move the line at the bar swiftly. Outside, Cornhole and giant Jenga are a hit. In the fall, enjoy propane heater tables extending the outdoor nights!

    Good selection of beers leaning on the IPAs. Facility is large with good seating options inside and out. Opted for a bit of food. The fried cauliflower was one of the best I've had and their honey garlic habanero sauce was good for dipping (although I prefer hotter) and the smoked trout dip was delicious.

    Poutine

    Great food, drinks, and service! Definitely recommend getting the poutine! Large serving to share and very good!

    Orono Brewing understands people. Have little ones? No problem - there's a nested seating area overlooking the brewing with a tv displaying kid's movies and other fun distracting activities. Got teens? No problem - teens and adults alike will enjoy the ping pong tables and corn hole. Local college kids? A mere mile away from the UMaine campus, beer, food, games, and fun! The space is wide open with various seating options including long picnic tables, round tables upcycled from barrels, and seats around the food wood stove. Food and beer is ordered at the walk up bar. You'll receive a buzzer to collect your food at the pickup window when it's ready. It's clear that they care about the environment from the upcycled tables, to the alternative heating, and through the use of biodegradable materials instead of plastic. Let's talk food! We ordered quesadillas ($6), tater tots ($5) and the Curry Chicken Naan Sandwich with fries ($12). Everything exceeded our expectations. The quesadillas were small and packed a good flavor. It wasn't plain and not overly filled with unnecessary ingredients. The taters were cooked to perfection. The Curry Chicken sandwich was filled full of flavor and hard to put down despite getting full. The beer is what drew us in. We already enjoy various Orono beers and their tasting room doesn't disappoint with the number of beers on tap. I especially enjoy that they offer a variety of their own beers, their collaborations, and other local brews. We'll be back.

    What a great vibe! Beer is so good and food was fabulous! Can't wait to visit in summer!

    I've always been a big fan of OBC, and once again Abe and Heather Furth have struck food/drink/atmosphere gold with this new location. The beer was good, the food was delish (especially the tater tot poutine and the garlic/cheese dip), and the atmosphere was wicked cool. Recommendation: The fruitsecco and the cub street ipa Avoid: the Go Blue milkshake beer. Actually very sour. However it made for a nice photo

    Great food

    Last minute decision and glad we came. Placed order at front , grabbed our drink order then waited at table. Once the beeper goes off that they gave you... you pick up your food. Great concept. Beer was great lots of options and great burgers and appetizers. Will be back

    Fake n cheese
    Amanda B.

    Amazing brewery with excellent food and awesome beer. The vibe is super chill, with graffiti art and neon colors sprawling, you get an 80s vibe with a new age twist. I was VERY happy with my fake n cheese, which is a tempeh twist on a steak and cheese. The fries were also delicious, fresh cut fries. I got a side of the horseradish aioli, which was a great decision for a fry dip. I had two sour beers and my wife had an IPA. All of the beers were flavorful and we even got some cans for take home. The outside area provided places to sit or play, with a basketball hoop and disc golf net there was plenty to keep the kids entertained. Inside they had foozball (sp?) and table tennis. The large tables and the variety of seating areas really makes Orono Brewing a class act. There is something for everyone on their wine/beer/cider list and their food menu holds it's own against any restaurant. I haven't perused much of Orono, but I'm not sure why you would go anywhere else? Highly recommend!

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!

    I really dig Bangor Beer. They're not located in "downtown" Bangor but just a few minutes out near…read morethe big box shopping area. Let me tell you, there is nothing "big box" about this place. It's quirky and fun. Outside is a garden area for nicer weather and I believe they have live music at times as well. Graffiti-style murals including Rick & Morty (can't find my exterior pics anywhere) and other fun stuff. They even had a bouncy house when we were there. And yep, we bounced around like kids. The interior of the brewery is also pretty quirky, chill, and fun. The employees and clientele are super cool & welcoming. They have a decent food menu that includes stuff from Oriental Jade (Asian restaurant that served Chinese and Japanese food). Oriental Jade had been around for decades. If you're a Stephen King fan, you know all about it. Their food is yum. Anyway, Bangor Beer has a lot of other offerings like fish & chips, burgers, typical fare that tastes anything but typical. The drinks: Yes they're a craft brewery and they also offer cocktails and mocktails. I've only had beer (did try the NA beer that had & it was good). Their pours are of the highest caliber. The taproom has 12-13 different beers on draft at any given time. And of course, beers to go (cans). Draft beers in growlers too. Oddball is probably my favorite. It's an oat stout that sits just right on the tastebuds. The 10-12 is a great IPA with just the right amount of hops. Total A+ spot.

    Love this place. Staff are engaging and quick with the witty responses, there's always something…read moreentertaining on the TVs, not sure why, but marble races are my favorite, a great variety of beer and games, but don't sleep on the food. Guilty pleasure are the Mac n Cheese bites, and their curry noodles are so very tasty. Always something new to see or taste, 12/10 will continue to do it again.
