Amazing beer selection - they have a style and flavor for everyone! The reduced winter menu food was tasty and filling!

Love this place definitely a great little brewery to hit when you're in town!! They started selling BBQ, it's ok I'm not a fan of Carolina style BBQ but then I'm a born and bred Kansas City BBQ fan so I'm pretty picky!!

Went here to sit on the water watch the tide go in or out and drink some beer. Lovely ambiance and great service and great beer.

You can find Footbridge Brewery & Bridgehouse BBQ right on the water in Boothbay - 25 Granary Way, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538. There's some parking right by the brewery but I was there during off-season - probably will need to park along the streets above and walk down.Interesting little brewpub that also serves barbecue (first BBQ I've tried in Maine so had no expectations). The interior is a bit low as the place is in a basement with rooms that extend towards the other side of the building. There's also seating outside that extends down towards the water. There's a bar along the leading wall and the place was fairly busy - tables extend into other rooms with a bathroom at the very back (still had the original 30's era tile).For beer I loaded up a flight of 4 from the menu:* Why So Blue Blonde Ale 4.9% ABV - 3.5/5 Fairly tasty crushable sour with blueberry notes, slightly floral finish. Well balanced and fairly clean. * Rattlin' Bog Fruited Gose 5% ABV - 4/5 Nice cranberry sour with a touch of salt in the otherwise clean finish. * Struberry Rarbarb Farmhouse Ale 6.5% - 4/5 Light wheaty farmhouse with fruity strawberry nose, fairly easy drinking, crisp finish. * Raw Nordic Raw IPA 6.5% ABV - 3.5/5 They listed this as a "Nordic Raw IPA" - earthy, bready body with a bitter finish, a bit odd and very dry. For dinner I had the Brisket Tray - 1/3rd pound of beef brisket with two sides - I choose the Gumbo-style Greens and Cole Slaw. Tray also came with a slice of cornbread. I thought the BBQ good with a fair amount of rind but I'm used to it being sliced a bit thicker so it seemed dry to me. I ordered two sauces - one was a mustardy sauce but it definitely wasn't Carolina style - more a loosened up yellow mustard. The other was a Maple and Bourbon sauce which was sweet and a bit odd - honestly I didn't much car for either (they also charged for the extra sauce). I'm not sure if these are sauces that are common the Maine? I did like the slaw and greens so they made up for things a bit.Service was excellent - you order at the bar and they deliver to your table.

What a wonderful pairing this is, combined with a view of the water! You have indoor and outdoor seating available, and a variety of seats inside, including at the bar. There's a nice variety of beers, plus backstory on them and the brewery. The bbq only makes it better. You can order both at the counter, pick up your beer at the other end, and your meal will be delivered to you. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, which was messy good (my top compliment), with more than enough meat inside plus pickles and a sauce that enhanced the flavor. The cole slaw was pretty good too, but I regret not ordering the gumbo greens, which were amazing. Those will definitely be my side of choice during future visits, and I have to hope I can learn to make them as well at home as theirs. There's lots of dining options in Boothbay Harbor. With the exception of seafood dinners, I don't need to go anywhere else for lunches or dinners.

Great drinks and really tasty BBQ. I liked the ambiance and even my kids enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and Blueberry soda. After a few days, we needed a break from the typical seafood spots and this was perfect.

Great selection of beers! All very tasty and great flavor profiles unique to each beer. The staff were all super friendly and very helpful. I bought a t-shirt from them, I liked it that much!

Best bbq I’ve had yet in Maine! Definitely recommend the burnt ends and ribs!
This place is awesome! Had the burnt ends with a couple of pints. Great service, nice people. Made friends! We never visit a restaurant twice on a vacation since there are so many options but this place called our name twice!!!

Best pub I've ever experienced. Fresh, clean, crisp and subtle flavors. Worth checking out! And the food, crazy burnt tips that will make your mouth water for more.

Just had the best pulled pork sandwich of my life here. Carolina bbq mustard sauce blew my mind. Can’t wait to go back!

Great beers, get a flight to start!Off the charts BBQ! Brisket and pulled pork are fabulous. Burnt ends are worth the extra$! Baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad are the best sides.Don't question, just go!

Indoor service was great nice selection to choose from. The staff was friendly and organized working quickly to push orders. Unfortunately they had run out of most food menu items by 6, but we were there for drinks anyhow!
