8 Best Craft Breweries near Old Orchard Beach

“This was a great place to eat and drink in Old Orchard. The ambience was clean and relaxed. The bartender was friendly. Coming from California, we picked this place as our first lobster roll to try in Maine and it did not disappoint! The beer was pretty good and went well with the food.“

“Had a quick stop in Portland ME and booked the brewtour. SO many breweries, so little time....even though only myself and husband were the only 2 beer tourists, Joe still showed up and gave us a fantastic tour! Three Strong Spirits! You all rock. Loved your hospitality! Lone pine and Urban Farm, loved your selections and friendliness! We'll be back, Joe! Thanks for a fun time, Sue & Brent“

“We shared two flights which allowed us to try almost all the beers on tap. We may have missed four. We enjoy visiting breweries and trying new beer. The beers here were above the grade. We rated all but one a 9 or 10. They were seriously the best beers we’ve tried in a while.The atmosphere is cool, but not conducive to chatting with new folks (inside). It’s kind of spread out. But still rustic and welcoming. We didn’t check out the outdoor space, it was a little too chilly. But we’ll be back!“

“Just came out and wanted to write a review in the car. We came here back when it first opened and decided to give it another try since it's been several years. I'm glad we did. I had their IPA to go with my Bang Bang Chicken wrap, my wife had the same beer with a Chicken Banh mi sandwich. The food was delicious! For just simple sandwiches they packed a lot of flavor. With a side of fantastic fries to split we left plenty full and happy. I gave the IPA 4 out of 5 stars, there are so many good beers now! Oh and we tried the homemade hot sauce and ended up buying a bottle. So good and the heat keeps coming as you dip your fries into it! South Portland is a nice little village now! It's nice to see this side of town growing into a nice place to visit.“

“I am not gluten free and choose to have Lucky Pigeon over nonGF beer. A wide selection of types, gluten free, and doesn't compromise on taste - unheard of. I search out Lucky Pigeon at liquor stores to avoid the bloated "after drinking" feeling. If you like IPAs try the Rock Dove, it's one of my all time favorite IPAs. Brewery itself is a revitalized textile mill. Very cool atmosphere with cozy vibes and friendly staff.“

“Okay, let’s cut to the chase: the beer here is so good, it almost feels like they’re showing off. But, as much as I love a good ipa praise session, let’s skip the beer accolades—everyone knows it’s like a high-five in a glass.Tonight, my kitchen culinary skills were not going to please anyone, which nudged my brain towards a genius thought: why not swing by Banded for some takeout? The idea hit me out of nowhere, probably inspired by their Instagram feed that’s basically foodie bait.I zoomed over and ordered their famous “Banded Burger” with double patties—because if you’re going to burger, burger hard—and added bacon, because, well, it’s bacon. The Better Half went for the fried chicken sandwich, just to mix things up. I snagged an IPA to tide me over during the wait and settled in. Service was fast, and just as I was about to solve the mystery of the bottom of my beer glass, the food arrived.Hoisting the bag felt like lifting a small child—weighty with promise. Back at home, we unveiled a burger so perfect, it could’ve had its own photoshoot. Seriously, it was all burgers strive to be: tall, stacked, and perfectly cooked. Best burger in Biddo, hands down. Don’t walk, run. The chicken sandwich was no slouch either—if you like a bit of spice, the Szechuan sauce is your new best friend. Seriously, stop what you’re doing and go there. This place nails the trifecta: fabulous food, fantastic beer, and zero reasons to eat anywhere else!“

“Beer rotation is always dope. Will be going back for a burger because you can get one for less than $10. I'm not a burger aficionado but that sounds like a really good deal. Will update the review with burger info when it's available“
