    a glass of beer on a table
    Derek B.

    Small brewery with some great beers in the Fryeburg area. Stopped by here during my stay in North Conway. Saco River Brewing was easily one of the better breweries I stopped at in the area -highly recommend going. The beers are great. I tried their Imperial Milk Stout, Flip Flop #50 IPA, and D.O.T. Czech Pilsner. Flip Flop was my favorite, left with a 4-pack on my way out. When I went there was food trucks as well serving a few different things, burgers being one of them.

    SRB puts out fantastic NE style IPAs. They honestly do a better job than most of the big guys and I love that they distribute in the Portland area. The space is rustic and cozy. It's sort of a garage type situation, and the place was pretty packed with locals soon after opening. I got a flight of 4 pours (2 IPAs, 1 porter, 1 sour), and they were all really great. The Flip Flop ipa is their rotating hop ipa, which we ended up buying a 4 pack of to bring home. Very nice staff, really glad they opened up shop where they did and are enriching the community!

    Delicious DIPA, cool atmosphere, nice beer selection. Great place to get hydrated!! Stoping by on my next visit to town.

    Stopped here to check out the brewery and get a growler. Also, to eat lunch at the Lab restaurant that apparently moved to another town. Service- talk about service? This place had the type of service you would expect from a small hardworking brewery. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the gentleman behind the bar. He offered tastings of their IPA because I said I was interested in getting a growler. Extremely nice, and was holding court with the other patrons at the full counter. This guy could work the room. If he wasn't the owner, then he sure fooled me. He did not want us to leave without a positive experience. Atmosphere- tables with umbrellas outside. Nice and easy parking. Couple cornhole boards and bags set up outside. Inside, it is a L shaped space with the small L being the bar area where all the action is. Not the most efficient use of space, but they still make it work. Behind the bar is a glass wall separating the tasting area from where the magic happens. All the brewing equipment looks well organized, and clean. The prices, sizes, and types of beer are written on the glass, and it looks very sharp. There is a rod and reel with a fish on the wall above the taps, which is most likely a nod to the river/nearby lakes. Product- I came away with a growler of their flip flop IPA after having a pint outside. Very flavorful and balanced. Tasted fruity and fresh, but not sugary or too sweet. The growler had a very pleasing logo and same with the glasses. Overall, lots of thought went into the beer and their vessels.

    Stopped by the brewing company after a night of camping.

    Spectacular beer in a beautiful rural town. The Ancient Galaxies DIPA is hands down one of the best juicy/creamy IPAs I've had.

    The coffee stout is excellent. I love dark brews and sometimes they are hard to find in this era of IPAs.

Second visit we came after a morning hike. We loved the vibe of this place. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

The beer selection has always been amazing from the classics to the seasonal beers and everything in between. The beer flights are also so great for trying new options or to find what you like! The food selection has also developed so much since we have began going here. The pizzas are so delicious and so is the cheesy bread and they even have the new Tucks Truck that has so many new options too. One of the things besides beer and food that Tuckerman's is so good at is hosting events, there is always something fun going on. This is one of the best places, enjoying the lawn and music during the summer after a day on the lake and sitting in the brewery enjoying a beer after skiing! The staff and environment are also amazing and so friendly. They have great merch too I think all together my family owns one of everything in the store. We get something new each time we visit. The brewery is so beautiful as well and they have added on a lot in the last few years. The interior design and ambiance of the inside and outside is so well done and enjoyable. It is always very clean too. Thank you Tuckerman's for all the wonderful memories! We love you guys!

I tried the burnt ends platter which was delicious with French fries that were covered in cheese and bacon with a side Of sour cream. Yum! He ordered a large plate of full belly clams and enjoyed them very much. Place was really busy but very well run. Servers were very good and the service is great. Plenty of memorabilia to look at on the walls while we waited. You can sign a dollar bill and add it to the ceiling (or walls now) which was fun idea. You can see they have had quite a many visitors do that. We loved the vibe of this place and look forward to visiting again soon. We didn't order desserts because we were full but if you check out the dessert case on your way in or out, they look so delectable. I'll save room next time for dessert for sure.

We were told it'd be about an hour wait, so we waited on the outdoor patio with beautiful views. You can also get a drink while you wait which is nice. The wait ended up being way shorter though, and we got seated in the "house" area. It was so adorable, and all of the hostesses & waitresses were so sweet and friendly! I ordered the lobster mac & cheese (because when in Maine!) and it was so decadent and loaded with that Maine lobster. The garlic bread on the side was amazing as well. It was a little pricey but again, the amount of lobster really reflected the price. Overall a cute and tasty restaurant with lots of fun options!

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!

I'm not even sure how to describe how much flavor there was in each dish, and those truffle fries! Yum! The service was also top notch. It started with the host who apologized for the "long" wait. Haha! It was 2 minutes, if that. Our server was so kind and knowledgeable, she made dinner a pleasure, but beyond that, everyone on the floor was quick to jump if we needed anything. If there is one not-so-positive thing to say, it was the seating. Those flat board chairs are so uncomfortable, and the high-tops even more so. We accepted a high-top because that's what was available inside, (The weather was looking a bit iffy so we didn't want to eat outside) but me being on the shorter side, if the foot bar is too low, it's very uncomfortable. Luckily a small low-top became available about 10 minutes after we arrived, and thanks again to the stellar service, we were allowed to switch. It was really a minor inconvenience and next time we visit we'll know to ask for a low-top or sit at the bar with the nice padded seats. Overall it was absolutely a positive experience and we look forward to visiting again soon!
