“Community Brewhouse is the kind of place that keeps us coming back again and again. The beer is consistently excellent, with a thoughtful rotating selection that always has something fresh and fun. On our most recent visit, I had the Alien Space Juice (a hazy NEIPA at 6.4% ABV that was raw, juicy, and bursting with hop flavor), while my wife enjoyed the Squirrel Chaser (a 5% golden lager, crisp and classic). Both were fantastic. The service here is truly off the charts. Gabe and Ernie are behind the bar and are warm, welcoming, and the kind of people who make you feel like family the minute you walk in. Jose is also outstanding, attentive and genuinely friendly and a marketing genius. That level of hospitality sets Community Brewhouse apart. We also have to give a shout-out to Gary, one of the brewers. Once we tried his Beerless Shadow beer, which comes with one of the best backstories we’ve ever heard. The name comes from a real brewery mishap: a pipe opened and blasted a pressurized stream of beer across the room. Gary happened to be standing in the line of fire, and when it stopped, the wall behind him showed a perfect silhouette where the beer hadn’t landed. That outline became “Gary’s Beerless Shadow.” We love grabbing a pint and sitting outside for a game of cribbage. On 9/24 we had the chance to attend their wine & cheese kickoff event. It was a wonderful expansion of what they offer: Tom, the “Sanford Sommelier,” curated a lineup that included Cava, Loire Sauvignon Blanc, Mencía, Chilean Carmenere, and a reserve Cab/Carmenere blend. These aren’t the typical value wines you’d expect to see at a brewery. Real thought went into the lineup, the prices were very affordable, and the cheese pairings were spot-on. It’s exciting to see them growing beyond beer into wine, while still keeping that neighborhood, community-driven vibe. Highly recommend Community Brewhouse, whether you’re into craft beer, good wine, or just good people!“

“Wonderful beer, the best staff, very welcoming!“

“This is my favorite place in Sanford. The owners have created an incredible space for community that welcomes all. They have a weekly run club, trivia, game night, and yoga. They also have other weekly occurring clubs as well as events like book swaps, craft clubs, plant swaps. They host regular art shows with themes displaying local artists. It also helps that the beer is delicious. They always have a cider, Selzer and at least one sour option. They have kombuchas and also have non alcoholic options in the cold case. They have juice and soda as well. They an area with toys for children and a lot of regulars have young children and come with their families.“

“We stopped there last week and loved the place! Friendly people, amazing beer selection. We ordered the cheeseburger flatbread and it was delicious . Highly recommend visiting this brewery“

“Flavor stouts and chicken wings My favorite stouts are Smores & Christmas. Bartender Grayson is amazing! He takes good of my friend and I when we go to Mama’s Comedy Show.“

“Brewland Maitland has nice atmosphere and is well decorated. There is plenty of indoor seating and a lot of shaded outdoor seating. No complaints about the service. All of our needs were taken care of in a timely manner and our server was very attentive. Everyone in our group of 8 enjoyed their meals. A few of the light eaters decided to take the remainder of their meal home with them.
We’d eat here again.“

“This is the place to go. Great mix of beer options with some unique combinations. Stellar options for sour beer lovers, but really there is something for everybody. Bartenders are the best part, Gabby and Garrett. Helpful and upbeat. Great atmosphere to spend a few hours or in my case, the whole day :)“
