Maine has a rich brew pub scene—breweries that not only brew their own beer but also offer a full food menu to accompany their pours. From Eliot to The Forks, Sugarloaf Mountain to Belfast Bay, some brew pubs focus on burgers and pale ales, while others venture toward Belgian tripels and entrees that would be right at home on a fine dining menu. Many also offer growler fills or bottles to take home.
This list omits brewery tasting rooms, which are featured in a separate map. Please note: State law stipulates that a brewery can only fill its own branded growlers, which require a fee but can be refilled on subsequent visits. Also, brew pub hours and beer availability are subject to change, so it's wise to click through to a brewery's website or call before visiting.
Updates to the map for Winter 2017 include Foulmouthed Brewing in South Portland, Norway Brewing Company in Norway, Sea Dog Brewing Company in Camden, and Mason's Brewing Company in Brewer.
Note: map points are listed south to north.
