“We recently visited the brewery tasting room on a girls trip to Portland after finding it on Groupon and would definitely recommend everyone add it to their itinerary! Paul was extremely informative, helpful, and lovely to chat with. We had a great experience doing the tasting flights! I’m currently not able to drink alcohol and they had a wide variety of non-alcoholic options that he enthusiastically accommodated me with - they even have a subsidiary company that specializes in non-alcoholic options.“

“Amazing beer. Friendly Staff. Cozy atmosphere. Good people. Go there!“

“ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT:
Shipyard is accessible to people with mobility (dis)abilities, though it isn't marked well until you get outside.

If you try to enter the taproom from the main entrance, there are a flight of stairs down, so you may think it's inaccessible. However, if you go through the gift shop, take a left upon entering, you can go down a ramp to the taproom.

I hope management responds to this review by putting up signs with arrows at the taproom entrance and gift shop entrances and maybe an arrow on the gift shop floor to make it clearer that wheelchair users can access the space.

Thank you for keeping the door propped open so that it was more accessible to enter. Please also move the sidewalk gift shop sign towards the far door rather than in the middle and right in front of the entryway. Where it was positioned centrally, it was too difficult to get inside with a wheelchair or stroller and that's an easy thing to train staff.

The taproom has a lowered bar section too. 👏🏽

There is one section of bathrooms that are not accessible but there is a small sign (shown) that directs you to where the accessible restrooms are.

You gotta try the blueberry ale with a blueberry rim!“

“Had an absolute blast hosting our Winter Film Challenge kickoff party here. Awesome communication, staff and vibe. Cant wait to come back!“

“Great burgers, fried, calamari and beer. Food selection could be greater, but what they have is pretty awesome. Beers are good as well like the daffodil one. Wish the burgers weren’t that overpriced for a double stack tho essentially 21 dollars. Otherwise, great place.“

“Great place!!!! Great Beer!!!“

“Spencer is awesome! Very knowledgeable and entertaining, will be booking again this summer :)“

“This is a great coffee shop. It has a bar as well, but the atmosphere is really relaxed. They have a large collection of games ranging from quick and simple to complex and lengthy. Trevor had some great spot recommendations for games and the coffee was solid. Highly recommend checking them out.“

“Awesome place! We went for the first time yesterday, and we were not disappointed with the food and drinks! The 🦞 roll was one of the best that we’ve had. We ordered a cheese plate and oysters as well, and they were both delicious. Hidden gem tucked away in the Old Port! We will definitely be back again.“

“A wonderful atmosphere and even better… good beer served at a good temperature. The staff were great too.“
