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

We had such a great time trying the many beers here! My favorite was the Ovens Mouth which is a very unique pepper infused beer. Delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful and the food we tried was also very good!

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!!

Nice little place with limited food menu, food was very tasty and delicious. A bit pricey. Good micro brews gotta try the sampler.

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.

There is an inside restaurant and and a outside patio. Service is pretty fast. I ate outside and it pretty quiet and nice. Food is now wow but decent although I think a little expensive. Nice list of beers and options for a taster.

Footbridge Brewery would be amazing based on its view of the water alone. As it stands, the variety of delicious beers are as delightful as the names they're given (Tequila Mockingbird = genius). If that wasn't incentive enough, they do smoked BBQ right by the front door! I'll stop there before the entire internet makes a mad rush for Footbridge Brewery.

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 care 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.
My husband loved his stout but we were less impressed by the food. The brisket was dry. The potato salad and coleslaw were extremely bland and the large chunks of potatoes in the salad weren't cooked enough. The BBQ beans were good. Can't really recommend it for the food except the

Five stars but I wouldn’t be able to tell you what the food is like… just stopped in for beer before dinner on a Friday evening. The beer was very good. Wife liked her Kolsch and I enjoyed my Hoppy Monster double IPA. Small bar but plenty of seating throughout the place. Couches, tables and such all around. Didn’t meander into the back room but it looked like tables were available there too! Even have an outside seating area but stayed inside because of tropical storm Lee was on its way. Large selection of beers… should be something for everyone.

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.
