    So I'll get to it: the beer was ok. We REALLY wanted to like the beer, they sounded so interesting, but a lot of the tasted watered down.That said, we loved everything else. The staff were SO kind and fun and the space they have is super cool. We sat inside but the outdoor space has a lot of seating and heaters for if it's cold. They also have pizza which is a plus for a brewery and it was very good! Would I recommend the spot? Sure, stop in here for a pizza and maybe a drink- you'll have a good time.

    I did not have the pizza because we just had pizza over Pats but we been dying to stop because the comfort vista from the street is amazingly irresistible! I finally found time enough to stop and man wasn't I pleased! The beer tastes just like your grandmother's fresh baked bread. The cordwood reminds me of the Best Brown Oak Pond Brew we use to brew and bottle up to Skowhegan, but better! Fresher and yum! My friends had a lighter shade of beer tastes nice good on the light side. The kindness of the staff and the ambiance of the place is beyond words. Come take a look. Taste the beer they will surely have something you'll love.

    While visiting Bar Harbor, we drove over to the next town to go to this brewery. It is located in a neighborhood and there was a lot of street parking. We did not order any food here but we had a few samples and had a beer. The people working at the bar were quite nice and friendly. The brewery has a kind of laid back feel to it with indoor and outdoor seating and there were posters for live music. Pretty cool place.

    Parking is spread out. Parking lot and street parking. Plenty of places to sit, mostly outside. Started with Vice (Hefeweizen), smooth and tasty. All orders at the bar. They have brick oven pizza, salads and the like. Wide selection of beers on tap to choose from and plenty to take home with you. Great place, come check it out!

    4th of July early evening and we snagged a seat in the beer garden just before the music started. Was happy to be away from the stage so we could visit comfortably. 3 flights of 4 beers were ordered and every one received a favorable review! Lots of good feedback about the 100% Maine ingredient made. We also enjoyed a pretzel with the beers (the mustard had quite a kick) and took home 2 brick oven pizza's that were well received.

    Outside seating

    Plenty of dog friendly outside seating, excellent service and great beer and food. The menu is very creative and everything we ordered was delicious. The beer was outstanding!

    Bar area to order your flights!

    This place is so fun and a little less busy since it's right outside of bar harbor. I came here by myself on a Saturday evening and was treated to a lovely live band made up of a one big family. Beer- I got a flight of IPAs, they weren't my favorite of all time but that's simply preference, they were definitely flavorful and unique Food- I got a mushroom pizza which was fired outside. It was slightly charred which is fine but I felt like there could have been a little more flavor- like truffle oil or a garlic butter sauce which may have been there but it needed a little more. The mushrooms were really tasty thought and I still devoured the whole thing Service- despite it getting pretty busy I got my flight right away and my pizza promptly. The person taking orders was really friendly and cheerful

    Chicken and Rice pizza, exactly like the bowl - the sauce was too hot, also accurate!

    We love this place when we're visiting Maine. Delicious pizzas, great seating area (in nice weather), and good beer. I am somewhat of a picky drinker and I always find something I love. I also appreciate the parking lot nearby, though street parking near here isn't bad either. Ellsworth is lucky to have this spot since there's very little else like it in the area!

    Hot Preztel, excellent brew salad (gochujang dressing?)
    Katherine Y.

    Good vibes! Salad and pizza wood fired. Nice staff! Would have liked better (read dryer) weather. Do I detect gochujang in salad dressing? When they ask if you want to start a tab say yes!

    I have to say, this place was great and may have been one of the highlights of my trip to Coastal Maine. Awesome pizza and great beer but what really stood out was the vibe of this location. We went during on open mic night and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Cool venue, good beer, entertainment and pizza. What more could you ask for.

    This brewery was exactly what my family and I were looking for! The service was phenomenal, they seemed excited to inform us of their options and what their personal favorites were. We ended up trying every beer on the menu!! The beer was super unique and the food was delicious. We got the Cheese Bread and it was crisp, flavorful, and of course CHEESY. Beer wise I recommend trying the Thai hot if they have it in rotation! The environment was extremely welcoming and it was a great hangout spot. The outside was also stunning with its lighting and interesting seating arrangements. Overall, if you are visiting Downtown Ellsworth and looking for some good beer, good vibes, and good food, look no further. This is the place to go!

    The Jam Session was Amazing!! I wish I could have it weekly!  One of the  best pizzas I've ever had! Please come to Indiana!

    The Jam Session pizza was Amazing!! Ambiance was lovely...wish there were more outdoor heaters!

    Jalapeño popper pizza
    Jason G.

    WOW is all I can say! The pizza here is up there with the best, if not the best I've ever had! Absolutely fantastic wood fired pizza. I got the jalapeño popper, which was just incredible. They also have a wide variety of pepper flakes from Flat Iron Pepper Co to add on. Every level of heat and flavor profile you could want, plus a variety of hot sauces. Cannot say enough about the pizza and the very friendly guy making it (oven is outside and you actually pick up the pizza from the guy cooking it, as well as the pepper flakes and sauces) who recommended a couple of options for my desired level of heat from some pepper flakes. The beer was quite good too, and the girl behind the bar was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers they offer, and happily offered a taste to make sure it was something I'd like. Can't wait to come back to Ellsworth to visit this place again!

    Great flights and the vibes are just right. A little out of the way but seek this place out. Good pizza and a great pretzel.

    I called from Bar Harbor to ask about getting their ESB and found that I'd need to stop by to get some.

    I discovered this place after tasting one of their chevres by purchasing it at an Ellsworth…read morepurveyor. It was then that I discovered that they made pizza in one of those wood-fired, outside stone ovens. They are only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons so it took me 2 years to get there but I finally made it. It is a farm, a goat farm, where you can buy goat cheese, goat pepperoni (goateroni), and buy and eat a pizza. There were 5 pizzas on the menu. They are not cheap ($13 for a pizza the size of a paper dinner plate) but they are delicious! We were really hungry so we planned to eat a pizza each but then we ordered a third and all of them were worth it. See my picture of the chalkboard menu. We ordered # 2,3, and 4. I have to say that the one with the caramelized onions was the best, probably because of the bite of the goat and feta cheeses. Watch the pizzas cook. It takes about 2 minutes. There is a long, high table to eat at or some Adirondack chairs to sit at eat under cover in case of rain or too much sun. However, this did not work well for my wheelchair companion so we just ate in the car. I also took home a chunk of cheese. Unfortunately, the pizza maker did not know what it tasted like but he was honest about it. It was delicious. Worth the trip if you like Neopolitan pizza with the thin and ever so slightly charred crust. Otherwise, eat elsewhere.

    This was an amazing Pizza stop. Homemade pizzas made from scratch. With goat cheese from the…read moregoats that live on the farm. The owner also made the pizzas and she was super nice / friendly. The atmosphere is outdoors so it is only a seasonal restaurant. Delicious, but only open for a little bit and on the weekends. All of the clientele are locals that are regulars and freeze pizzas for months later. That's how good it is. They are meant for 2-3 people. Smaller end brick oven pizza.
