    I was thirsty.
    Anthony R.

    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).

    We (my wife and I) did the 4:30 PM brewery tour -- 30', very nice. Great intern giving the tour. I personally love White Allagash beer, it's the beer I drink pretty much every evening at home so it was nice to visit the brewery. We liked everything about it. Very nice staff, great atmosphere, family friendly, there is an Airstream Food Truck -- great red dogs and lobster rolls, great potato salad. Also, seasonal beers otherwise hard to find. A must go to and must do when in Portland, ME!

    Came to watch a World Cup game and loved the outdoor atmosphere, staff, and great beer. Tropical lime IPA quickly became a favorite.

    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

    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.

    Let's call this a Brewery Tour review. We came to Allagash on our way out of town to see this iconic brewery. Allagash White is a classic. The tour is $20 and includes 4-5 tastes along the way. The main brewhouse is HUGE by now, their 30th Anniversary. 2000lb bags of grain, 24 hour brewing cycle 4 days per week. Hot tip, tour during the week to smell the wort and see the packaging line. The keg robot was amazing, worth the price of admission. (Brewery Nerd approved & recommended) Bottling and Canning lines also mesmerizing! Theres a barrel house in the original brew building with emphasis on lambic style, "coolship" beers. Dave our guide was Solid We did two rounds of 4 tasting trays. tasters are $3ish and we enjoyed everything. Light beers, a triple ipa, sours with peaches, dark lagers with cherries. Pale with sauv blanc must! The sour beers are moderately sour. Staff was excellent at the taps and in the gift shop. Taste of Maine food vendor, delicious.

    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!

    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.

    Christian E.

    Lots of seating! I liked that some of the seating was shaded or covered and some benches had fans. They had a great lobster food truck. Good beers with a selection that isn't available nationwide. I was happy to see cider & cocktail options since I don't drink beer. It was very cool to see they pay their workers well and the tips are donated towards charity.

    Karen N.

    A large brewery with lots of beer choices. Allagash offers easy parking, with a food truck in the lot offering lobster rolls and other Maine inspired food options. The seating are is outdoor only, but on a sunny, hot afternoon it was comfortable under the outdoor pavilion. Our group ordered flights, and sampled their white , seasonal - a citrusy lager, cherry lager, key lime and a beer with Cabernet Sauvignon, and a few others. Service was friendly and offered suggestions. Lots of good selections.

    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.

    Several more visits since my last review…read more Some things haven't changed: -- The beers are still great. Swish, Here's to Feeling Good All the Time, Nothing Gold, and Reciprocal are a formidable foursome. At any given time, you can usually get at least two, more often three, sometimes all four. -- You'd be hard pressed (pun intended) to find a better smashburger in Portland, but I'd also put it up against any regularly-offered burger I've had in Portland--smashed or otherwise. I love everything about it, from the high caliber of the beef to the fresh pillowy milk bun to the exhilaratingly strong cure of the bacon to the razor-thin cutting of the vegetables to the execution that gets even a smashburger burger juicy. -- I'm still not crazy about the wings. They have a frozen dinner feel to them. A few things, though, have changed: -- Full service now instead of having to order everything at the bar. That's a plus. -- The place is much more crowded-- including screaming tykes-- on the weekends. Not a plus, but can't fault a place for its own popularity. -- The fries are now the industrial strength coated kind. A big minus and a sad drop off from prior greatness, but better that than from an item off the main cast. -- You can now order beer cans to go from the table rather than having to get in line. A nice convenience. A few things to know: -- It's a surprisingly good option for vegetarians and pescatarians. The veggie burger and the grilled fish sandwich are both much more than solid. -- There's outdoor seating in front of the building and also to the right. -- The bar room to the right of the entrance is adults only, so if those screaming tykes get on your nerves, this is the place to be. -- You can still order beer at the bar if that's your preference over table service. Still a favorite, and the combo of beer, food, and space is tough to beat (Mast Landing and Maine Beer in Freeport are also somewhere in that echelon).

    Bissell Brothers is about a good four and a half stars for me…read more We're in Portland for a couple of days and my boyfriend has told me how he's had a good experience at Bissell Brothers before while being in the area for baseball games with his buddies. He suggested we stop in for a late lunch when he picked me up from the train station that's basically around the corner. The place was mobbed inside for the World Cup final, but they still had outside seating available. We chose a quieter section with picnic tables where they had QR codes to order food and drinks from your phone. It's a craft brewery so why would I not try a beer? I got the lime lager. Light, crisp, a subtle tartness, no complaints there. For food we got fries with their house hot sauce, soft pretzels and the hot Maine maple chicken sandwich. The fries were deliciously crispy and the hot sauce had a nice kick to it. The pretzels with beer cheese and mustard were also tasty, however you might want to be careful with the mustard as it will really burn your nose if you eat too much of it at once. Lastly, the chicken sandwich was fantastic. It's definitely a messy one, but hits all the different flavor and texture notes that you're looking for in a good chicken sandwich. All in all a great experience. Good beer, good food, good service and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

If you were unaware Austin Street found their start with their original location in Industrial Way Portland area alongside lots of breweries in the area. I believe my first visit and taste of their beers was around 9 or 8 years ago. Once this location opened up it became the go-to for visiting Austin Street as it's updated and honestly nicer. I enjoyed their first location but let's be real this space is more unique and larger! Been to this spot many a times including earlier today. They still have an industrial feel to the place but have so many plants all around to brighten the spot up. Inside while beautiful I must say the true highlight is during warm weather with their large garage doors open. It also adds tons of additional seating to enjoy the weather too! Staff is always so friendly and ready to pour your drink with a smile. Beer wise they have a large variety including IPAs, pale ales, lagers, and sours. Including a special release each year made for International Women's.For non-beer drinkers don't fret, you can find wine, ciders, seltzers, cocktails, and plenty of non-alcoholic options. They also offer some snacks and frequently have food trucks/carts serving as well. With a lot of events scheduled too, including today that was a Summer Puppy Pool Party so as you can tell they are dog friendly. One of the many amazing breweries in this area of Portland. Well made beers with enough options for everyone to enjoy a drink even non beer fans. A place that supports many good charities/causes and hosts lots of events.

As you likely remember we were still dealing with the dreaded pandemic back then. Belleflower has preserved through that and blown every expectation out the water. You could easily make an argument Belleflower is one of the best if not the best brewery in Portland and Maine in general. They nail the IPAs and all variations of them but also can do every other style very well too! In particular for this celebration of their 5th anniversary they released a fruited sour aged in barrels for around 5 years and a double dry-hopped DIPA and both are incredible well made beers! They almost always have a food truck option nearby including a fan favorite of mine, Ironclad Eats! Today they had Smokin Dads BBQ. If you are a beer lover living in or visiting the area you must visit Belleflower! You will have friendly staff welcoming you and will taste some world-class beers! Enjoy drinking your beers on the patio when the weather allows for it for the best vibes!
