Oxbow Blending & Bottling Brewery • $$
49 Washington Ave, Portland - 1.71 miles

“I stopped at Oxbow as part of my self-guided brewery tour of Portland. I had grand plans to hit 6 breweries the day our cruise ship was in port, but a delicious lunch at Duck Fat derailed my plans and robbed me of both time and stomach space.
I hit Oxbow on the walk from ShipYard to Lone Pine and Goodfire.
A reason I mentioned Duckfat is because they have a takeout location right next to Oxbow- so you can pair the best fries in Maine with a ton tasty brews.
Speaking of the beers, the ones I tried were delicious. Oxbox has a great mix of Farmhouse ales and barrel-aged sours. Perfect pairings with salty frites!
The inside space is substantial, which is great for Maine's "cold, yet damp" environment. The day I visited, all their garage doors were open, the outside bar was bustling, and their patio was full.
I highly recommend Oxbow- especially for a change of pace from the mainstream hop-heavy breweries. Their offerings of Grisettes, Biere De Garde, Saisons was unparalleled.“

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!“

Shipyard Brewing Company Brewery • $$
86 Newbury St, Portland - 1.44 miles

“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“

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.

“Wondered I to this place just to cool off and have a drink and ended up spending a few hours and did not want to leave. Both bartenders were fun and nice and know their drinks very well. Even though this is more of a bar scene they have bar far the best oysters in Portland. While not a fan of bourbon had their bourbon rose Sangria and it was absolutely delicious. The beer was much better than at a better know shipyard brewerie. If you are not hungry amd just want something to much on or go with your drink can't go wrong with their cheese plate. The atmosphere pretty nice for the most part, just when gets super busy because you order all of the food at the bar even for the tables gets a bit too loud and chaotic“
