    This place is one of the newer breweries on the block for the area of Portland and they fill a well needed niche. They basically are sticking to brewing lower ABV beers (5% or less) and looking to stay on the smaller side. I like that they are sticking to lower ABV brews, but from what I tried they still are full of flavor, one of the best from the beers I tried was actually only 3.3% but had tons of flavor that you would never know. The same beer was said by the owner to be their F'ed up beer as it was from a messed up batch of beer due to a broken glycol pump resulting in it fermenting hot. Despite the mistake I still enjoyed the beer! The place has a small dive bar and homey feel to it. We came shortly after they opened and at first we were the only ones there so got to chat with one of the owners. He talked about the beers and also about how much music is important to this brewery as well. A real passion for beer and music can be felt from the owner. They do open mics on Mondays and have local bands perform quite often. I think this is a brewery that everyone should swing by and give a try. They are doing something different and making their mark on the Maine/Portland beer scene. The owner was super friendly and great to chat with. Will definitely be returning and look forward to trying more beers from this place.

    This nanobrewery just opened in east bayside. The beer shares a lot of qualities with home brewed beer. I'm sure it'll get better with each batch. The space is cozy and fun, and the staff is friendly.

    The beer is not to my taste. The Maritime music is fantastic. The crowd is good. Super friendly.

Definitely a great setup if you're looking to make a brewery day out of it! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and of course I had to get a beer flight because I love being able to try a little bit of everything before deciding on a favorite. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. They're also dog-friendly, and there were so many cute pups around to pet! For food, there was a food truck on-site, which is a nice option if you want something to eat while enjoying your drinks. Overall, we had a great time and I'm glad we finally made it here. Between the beer, outdoor seating, dog-friendly atmosphere, and the other breweries just steps away, this would be a fun spot to add to a brewery-hopping day!

There are so many different seating options--you can sit in the dining area, grab a high-top at the open bar, or enjoy your food and drinks outside. I especially loved the decor! It has such a beautiful garden-inspired vibe that makes the space feel really cozy and inviting. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, which always makes an experience even better. They also had a great variety of beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options, so there really is something for everyone. We had such a great first experience here and already looking forward to coming back!

We had to get something else on the kids menu because our kid is not used to red hot dog. That's fine but the wait staff said she would remove the charge. Instead, what happened was the hot dog was taken away and we were still charged the hot dog price. Saturday night, we tried to order online for pickup but their online order system was down during concert night. OK. We go to the restaurant to order. It was mostly empty with a few customers. We're told to go back to order pickup. The wait staff was so rude to me and the kids. I get it. They sell good beer that everyone buys cases and cases of to bring home. Customer service is lacking to families who travel far for a music weekend

    One of the last breweries we visited while in Portland and we were not disappointed. The brewery…read moreis very open, large and has an industrial feel, but a warm atmosphere. The space was warmed by, a variety of plants throughout the space. The ferns are huge and amazing. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating accessible by large garage doors. The staff were very nice and friendly, and offered their opinions on which beers our group would enjoy. They had a large sampling of IPAs, pale ales, lagers, and sours. Our group tried the Austin Street Lagers, Obsolete Vernacular- a mango ale. and a fox street ale, and enjoyed all of them. If in the Portland area. this is a must !

    Yet another brewery review from me and another five star! What can I say, I enjoy most breweries…read moreand love seeing the wide variety of them around. 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.

    It was our first time coming to Belleflower!…read more Friendly staff. Fun vibe. Great drinks. I absolutely loved the Witches' Chant, which is a sour. It's always a hit or miss for me when it comes to sours and this one did not disappoint! We were able to order food and have it delivered, which was a plus! The space inside is a little small and when they got busy, the place filled up fast. Looking forward to warmer weather and having the outside seating available!

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!
