Mast Landing Brewing Company - Westbrook Taproom Brewery • $$
920 Main St, Westbrook - 6.87 miles

“One of my favorite breweries in the nation let alone Maine. Always awesome staff and great taste in art and beer. However since they went exclusively to an outdoor cart for food purchases, instead of letting people bring in or deliver food from the many decent nearby restaurants- I think the experience has gone downhill. The cart used to be good too when it was a popup, but now that it's permanent their menu has gotten worse and so has their service.It makes me less likely to visit, knowing I will have to plan around meals at different locations or buy food I won't enjoy. There are a lot of good Westbrook restaurants with a diverse range of cuisines, I have enjoyed trying while also patronizing Mast Landing- being forced to instead forever eat from a very slow and mediocre food cart now, just feels wrong, and doesn't really match the brewery's carefully curated brand. I hope this gets fixed soon because I think Mast Landing is a great addition to downtown Westbrook, the right blend of relaxing and cutting edge- I don't want any reason to look elsewhere!“

Goodfire Brewing Company Brewery • $
219 Anderson St Ste 6, Portland - 2.12 miles

“Goodfire Brewing Co. in Portland, Maine for two pints & a half pour on a Sunday afternoon. I was here last about a year & four months ago on my previous Portland tour, but had been looking forward to returning to try some more offerings. My friends & I were doing nine different breweries in one day so I had been keeping it light & was happy to be able to grab a couple beers under 5%. I wanted to attempt to keep my wits about me as we walked from place to place. Earlier in the day we had passed the Goodfire taproom in Freeport, Maine, but decided to check out the Portland location again since it was pretty much next to our AIRB&B. ??

Alright let's get to the beers. I started off with a pint of the LEAGUE NIGHT LAGER which was good & at 4% was perfect for my attempted sobriety. The next pint I got was the excellent WORMS Bitter, which is a style I've really started to enjoy over the past year. The half pour I ended with was the DOUBLE LUTRO Sour Gose, that had a nice subtle lemon finish. Overall some good beers & a few different styles to try & get a good grasp on what they're about. ??

There wasn't a ton of seating options, but plenty for the space. There was no bar seating, but there was hightops, rail seating along the wall & a outside patio area. The beertender was nice & super helpful, being knowledgeable about the beers you're serving allows you to have better customer service & interactions since you can relate to what your customers are drinking. Beer to go & a fun merchandise area as well. Another great experience here & will be checking out the Freeport location next time so I can get my completionist badge for this brewery. ?????

BEERGASM RATING - HARRRD 8 ¹/⁴ out of 10.

Shipyard Brewing Company Brewery • $$

“A bit of a disappointment for a brewery. The place itself is huge and you can spend hours with a tour and tasting, playing games and having various bites. While the staff was nice and knowledgeable, the beer itself was somewhat disappointing. With so many other breweries in town they were probably one of the worst“
