    Sample with a cool tray
    Stephen D.

    This place has been on my bucket list and it lived up to the hype. Grabbed a sample since I've had Allagash White a ton and I wanted to try some of their other beers. They were good but not as memorable as their flagship beer. The line moved efficiently and I appreciated the flight cards to fill out while you waited. Plenty of seating outside and a great way to spend the afternoon.

    I was thirsty.

    Long- awaited visit ( but far drive from Philly!) Lotta options, started with a sampler. Split the G even though it's not a thing here ( yet). Delicious beer so far. Friendly staff, had great laugh with Abby and Hunter as we tried to figure out how to split....the leaf? ( it's not a hop, btw).

    I'm not a beer drinker but the vibes are awesome here! We came for the Inciardi print machine and stayed for lunch from the food truck. The staff were all incredibly nice too!

    Kind of just stumbled into this brewery and was blown away by how well it was run! The beer is excellent! The staff were fast and friendly and had the place running like a well oiled machine!

    Slushy lemonade, coolship red and the allagash white.

    Came in to taste around 3:20pm. This is a nice size local brewery. It was hot outside but glad they had slushy lemonade for a refreshing treat. Also had the coolship red and the Allagash white. The servers at the counter were friendly and helpful.

    Unfortunately, we didn't make it for a dine-in experience but we did stop in the following day to grab a few canned beers and items from their shop. Their shop has a great selection of beers including limited-edition varieties you can't get in most stores. They also have other souvenirs such as shirts, glasses, mugs, bottle openers and other items. Great environment and space overall...lots of open space with tables and chairs throughout. There is a Bite Into Maine food truck in the front which is a great option. All staff we encountered during our short time there were great...friendly and helpful.

    Maine Blueberry Ale - only available at the brewery
    Allyce B.

    Great service and the Maine Blueberry Ale is where it is at! I'm not a beer girl but I could have drank three of these. Unfortunately it is only available at the brewery, as I just found out on their website. I asked about it at a liquor store in Southwest Harbor and they had no clue what I was talking about. Petition to sell in stores, Allagash! Lots of picnic tables outside and there was live music when we were there. We also learned that if a staff member is wearing a particular pin on their shirt, they are trained to assist those who are living through abuse escape it. More companies need to do this!

    We came on a Monday in July to try their seasonal beer tasting which is a sampling of about 5 beers. The bartender was very friendly and told us about some other local breweries that he likes. I would have booked a brewery tour as well if I knew how quick this would be but it was still cool. Mostly because we had to take an Uber to get here as it was about 20 min away from downtown where we were staying. Note, if you are visiting the area and staying downtown, you cannot walk here you have to drive/take an Uber. Again, it was about a 15-20 min Uber ride. That being said, really cool place. Outside area is nice. Beer is very good. I love their popular Allagash White. There is another brewery right across the street as well but didn't seem too busy. We enjoyed our visit.

    Out on a Sunday drive to the Riverside area of town. Wanted to check out an apartment neighborhood for our son. We turned down the road and boom, three breweries!! Had no idea all three were located here, pleasant surprise. I enjoy Allagash white so we decided to stop in. The campus is a good size with gigantic tanks no doubt filled with liquid gold! Outdoor seating area with fire pits for warmer weather enjoyment. Entrance had a woodsy feel to it with signage that was clear to read. In the courtyard you choose which way to go; right heads into the outside beer garden and left brings you inside the brewery and gift shop. Beer garden for us. Seeing that it was covered by a tent thought for sure it was going to be cold inside , we were pleasantly surprised! Decor was paper chains and tissue paper hearts for Valentine's season. They had a creative station for folks to make their own Valentines. Also in the same area was a game bookshelf filled with board and card games to play. At the bar was a young man smiling as he welcomed us. We read the menu and for something different I chose "Cabin Weekend" the name reminded me of our camp in the Western mountains. We both enjoy whiskey so thought the aged barrels used for this brew would make a tasty treat. Grabbed our beers and then over to the food truck attached to the tent, clever. Bite into Maine is the food truck here today, unsure if different trucks come here or not. We wanted something small and shareable. Mac and cheese it was. We sat down at one of the many empty tables and began to enjoy our beers and food. Cabin weekend was so delicious! It was a strong onto 8.9%! Tasty with the faintest hint of whiskey and a cabin feel for the finish. The Mac and cheese was dense and rich!! The fork could practically stand upon its own! It was good in my opinion however don't think I could have finished the portion in my own. We enjoyed so much we will be back for some to bring away with us to our cabin in the woods.

    Fantastic outdoor brewery with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. There's a playground and outdoor games, which makes it a great stop for groups or families. They offer a wide variety of delicious beers, but nothing beats the classic Allagash White--still my favorite. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and they let us sample a few options before we committed to a flight. Bonus: the parking lot features a food truck with amazing lobster roll flights--a perfect pairing with the beer. Great beer, great atmosphere, great people. Definitely worth a visit!

    The brewhouse

    Allagash Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Portland, Maine in 1995. It was founded by brewer Rob Tod. Initially working as an employee for Vermont-based Otter Creek Brewery, Tod did everything from washing kegs, to cleaning tanks, to brewing beer. Although German and English styles were readily available throughout the United States, Tod realized that Belgian styles were harder to come by. He rented out a spot in the corner of a warehouse in an industrial park in Portland, assembled a 15-barrel brew system, and called it "Allagash Brewing Company" (named for the Allagash Wilderness Waterway). The first beer Tod brewed was a Belgian-style Witbier which he dubbed "Allagash White". The beer soon put Allagash on the map and it's still the brewery's flagship beer. Another brewer, Jason Perkins, was hired in 1999, and he helped the brewery develop a wider portfolio of Belgian-style beers. By 2010, Allagash had reached capacity and they moved to a larger space next door. Additonal expansions have occurred since then. As of 2025, Allagash is one of the most successful and well-respected craft breweries in the United States, with both the brewery and Allagash White receiving numerous accolades. A secondary taproom opened in nearby Scarborough in 2025. My extended family and I visited Allagash Brewing for lunch this past summer while we were vacationing in Maine. I've enjoyed Allagash White numerous times since I first became interested in craft beer, but not too many other offerings besides that. Once I visited the brewery itself, I realized that they have so many other offerings in their repertoire. The brewery was a very impressive facility with plenty of outdoor seating. In fact the whole street, Industrial Way, is a craft beer paradise with no less than five breweries. My family and I grabbed a table and then we ordered some drinks. I ordered a taster flight which featured "Farm to Face" (Peach Sour), "Once Upon an Orchard: Pawpaw Fruit" (Fruited Wild Ale), "Fox Leap" (Cherry Sour), and "From Maine, With Love #40" (Double IPA). I was very impressed with everything I tried! My wife enjoyed a pour of their delicious "Rosé Cider"; I had no idea that they made cider too! Bite Into Maine, an award-winning food truck, is also permanently parked at the brewery. My wife and I both ordered the "Fresh Maine Lobster Roll Flight" which featured three styles of lobster rolls: Maine (mayo & chives), Connecticut (just warm butter), and Picnic (coleslaw, butter, celery salt). They were out-of-this-world! Our sons both enjoyed some iconic Maine "Red Hots". Before leaving, I purchased a couple of bottles in the merch store to take home. We had a truly memorable experience at Allagash and we highly recommend them to anyone visiting Portland!

    This is probably the best brewery I've ever been to. The beer selections are wonderful. I'm absolutely blown away by their blueberry ale and the honey tripel. The famous allagash white is also very enjoyable. There are food trucks at the brewery too and the sandwiches are very fresh and tasty. The homemade Whoopi pie is fantastic. There's also a very cute gift shop inside with lots of nice souvenirs/beers you can bring home. I bought an allagash beer glass and I can't wait to use it at home. We'll definitely be back again!

    Jordyn J.

    Allagash was amazing. Lively and fun, lots of groups of people enjoying a beautiful day. Loved the beer selection. Cute little gift shop was a great spot to send a post card or pick up a small trinket. The food truck across the way was fantastic. The bread on my pulled pork sandwich was like a fluffy pillow. My friend said her lobster rolls were all fabulous.

    Ask the Community - Allagash Brewing Company

    Any options during a visit there for non-beer drinkers in our group?

    There is a food truck onsite that sells non alcoholic drinks. https://www.allagash.com/food/

    Can i bring my 3 year old with me?

    I can't imagine why you couldn't. I was there a few weeks ago and they are doing Covid restrictions. Can't go in, but you can get stuff to go.

    I am reserved on their 11 am tour on Saturday. I was wondering if there is easy to find parking on the premises? And how early should I plan to get there, given weekend…

    There is a large lot on the property, and another just across the street where you'll find several other breweries. Parking shouldn't be a problem.

    Is it dog friendly?

    Hi Swati, yes we are! We welcome all well-behaved dogs either on our covered patio or outside in our rock garden.

    Is there a place to store backpacks?

    If you are taking the tour there is a spot to leave your jackets/bags if you want, but I don't believe there is anywhere else

    Is it true children are not allowed?

    We took my 11 year old nephew and it wasn't a problem.

    Do they serve any food?

    No but they often have food trucks.

    Does Allagash have any ciders or wines on site? I'm going with friends, but unfortunately I can't drink beer (celiac). Wondering if they have other options

    Hi Alyssa, we make our own ciders and wines right in house! Be sure to check them out.
