Definitive Brewing Company - Kittery

I rarely write bad reviews, look for yourself. But man, this place, wow. We went here on Saturday, Sept 14th, 2024. Part of the experience when you visit a brewery, distillery, bar, etc is the interaction with the staff. The bartender here made it quite clear that she was not happy to see us walk in and was clearly wishing she was anywhere else. Now I can partly understand why, the place was at - or closely approaching 100 degrees F inside. It was like a wall of heat when we walked in. So we immediately decided to sit outside at the picnic tables. However, the seats were in the direct sun, with a few tables having tiny umbrellas, but they only covered a portion of the seats in a parking lot. We gulped down our beers (which were pretty good) and headed to Stoneface a few min away in NH. They greeted us with huge smiles and suggestions. We stayed there for 2 hours and had a great time. If you are going to represent your brand with a remote location, do it right or don't do it at all, DBC.

This spot made us feel like locals, great beer, awesome service and lots of dogs!!

Visiting from San Diego.
This place is great. Beers are on point. One of the cleanest, Scottish style red ales I've ever had. IPAs were fantastic. Service was outstanding.

Stop here for some suds. You'll be glad you did.

Happy hour, M-Th, 3-5pm: $5 drafts

Great dog friendly spot for a beer! They allow dogs inside which is great. They offer multiple lager options. I had the helles and kolsch and both were delicious. My wife had IPAs and they were both very juicy to satisfy the hop head needs. The service was good. One bartender that was new was very friendly and helpful. The other couldn't have been bothered any less by having anyone in there. We would come back if we were in the area again!

Nice selection of brews with hard seltzer. Something for everyone. Friendly tap mister. Great place to break up the shopping!

Solid beers, solid vibes.

Small brewery that offers many great selections of beer. Staff were friendly and place was clean and welcoming. Nice place to stop in Kittery.

First visit to that Definitive location, a lot of options on draught but I found that the beers weren't as tasteful as it used to be

We happened upon Definitive while visiting outlets in Kittery.We are glad we stopped by. Their space is clean and comfortable, staff friendly and helpful, and their beers - especially their session IPA delicious.They have a range of beers and rotate taps frequently. So there is something for everyone here.

It's a bit of an awkward space and the patio leaves a lot to be desired. But the beer is good and a nice alternative to the main location.

Definitive Brewing is an excellent local brewery. Its selection is second to none with sessions, sours, IPAs, and stouts. The flavor profiles remind me of TreeHouse with TreeHouse prices. Definitely worth the price without all of the travel. The Kittery location is low key with a nice outdoor patio.

Their flagship ipa was fine. They had a couple of sours. But the overall selection of available beers was limited.

Such a great staff in Kittery! Always welcomed with a smile and the beer is so good!! So sooo good!!

Best Portland taproom in Kittery!
