18 Best Craft Breweries near Westbrook

“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!“

“They should rename this place "Cheers of the North". I've never been to such a welcoming and hospitable spot. The Thai pizza is outstanding. The tacos are even better. Beers are all great and you can tell that Jeff, the brewmaster, puts a ton of effort and attention into the beers. The space is super cozy and inviting. Like hanging out at a close friend's house. Every time I'm up here I try to make it my first and last stop. I found out this time they have an AirBnB on site called "The Brewhouse" cannot wait to stay there next time I'm up.“

“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“

“Great brewery! We stopped in on the way to the airport. A lot of IPAs and hoppy beers (not our thing) but we still found yummy beers. Taproom is outside in a heated tent and they have little tent/cubbies with their own heaters. I would love to drink beers here on a random day when it is dumping outside.Lots of merch. Good Food truck. Kids loved grilled cheese, burger. Hook/string game outside. Super friendly staff at the bar and merch area.Would love to come back on our next trip to Maine!“

“Foundation Brewing is a fantastic delight. We had the opportunity to meet one of the four owners tonight and she was so friendly. Tina runs the tasting room, if you see her while you're enjoying the beer or pizza... make sure to ask her some questions about her hometown (Detroit, MI) or how Foundation Brewing came to be a local micro-brew.The pizza is a light, fluffy and crunchy exploration in all the best ways you could imagine. I think this brewery is getting the absolute most out of what space they have to work with and their staff is so friendly/helpful/patient. I'm committing myself to returning over and over and being (hopefully) a regular :)10/10 would recommend to anybody in and around the Portland/Westbrook city line.“

“Belleflower is always great. I had 2 smalls to try new brews. Had a taste of the West Coast IPA collaboration, and then left with a 4 pack. Staff are great and happy to recommend something based on other preferences. Great atmosphere and games“

“This was the final spot on our trip before we separated from our Boston friends after an awesome October weekend and they headed home. So glad this could be the last experience together, as it was a relaxing, inviting bar experience. The bartender/owner was super chill and the beers/cocktails we tried were all excellent. The vibes were perfect - had a great time.“

“Lone Pine is one of the best breweries in Portland! Shane is amazing! He had made me feel so welcome to the area! Rachael is also amazing! They know how to give great customer service! As a supervisor of a local hospital, the customer service is top notch! I would recommend this brewery to anyone! So amazing thanks to great staff like Shane and Rachael!“

“Root Wild Kombucha is filling a hole in our hearts left by Urban Farm. Their kombuchas are light and complex, more refreshing than funky (for the most part). They have both 1% and 4.5% kombuchas, and a few beers on tap. The atmosphere was inviting and friendly, and the staff was knowledgeable and engaging.“

“My husband Erik and I were married at Oxbow Beer Garden in Oxford and are nothing but impressed with the food/beverage, event execution and warm hospitality that was provided. We highly recommend hosting an event with Oxbow and/or visiting the beer garden for delicious pizza/beverages provided by their awesome staff!“

“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.“

“Awesome brewery that was military themed. The decoration was perfect. She'll casings, challenge coins, military inspired beer names, just very well put together. The beer was great too. I mean, decor can only get you so far but they had great beers to go with a great atmosphere. The bartender was top-notch as well. Cheers guys!“

“We received a recommendation from a local to stop by and check this place out. Great stop in a sea of breweries that are all right next to each other. The bartender was very helpful with picking from the large list of option with each new pour being great! The vibe was really chill and if we lived a little closer I know that this would be a spot on our weekly brew tour. Like I mentioned this craft house is in a spot with a handful of other breweries. Make sure that you take time to visit from IPAs to Sours you will not leave disappointed.“

“Awesome space, with tables, couches and open room. Beers were great! They have some higher abv beers but serve 5 and 10 ounce pours which allows you to try a few! We came on a Saturday when they had a Cambodian food pop up with some yummy egg rolls! Only suggestion would be to have seating at the bar. Sometimes when you come solo, you just want to sit at the bar. Can't wait to come back!“

“Just found out about these guys and I'm super bummed to be seeing it go! I hope they still make their drinks in some way for people to buy because there's nothing quite like that around. Delicious and intriguing flavors, and plenty for those who don't drink alcohol as well.“

“Came here on New Year’s Eve, for lunch. With small children and a vegetarian, bar food seldom makes everyone happy, but this place was a great surprise!Firstly, the bartender was awesome! He offered me beer samples so I can decide on drinks and answered questions about the food.We had the pork cheese sandwich; the tacos; vegetarian fried green beans; a cezar salad; fries and grilled shrimp. For being a bar with a grill, the food was great!The atmosphere was relaxed and we felt good and welcomed here. I would surely come back.“

“Amazing staff and service complimented by delicious drinks! The atmosphere is relaxing and changes depending on the season to spice things up! Great diversity of people and friendly for all age groups! Furthermore, I believe it is the best spot in Portland to enjoy some time off! On the staff topic, I have never been treated more like family at any establishment!“
