Out of many offerings on the menu - no Chardonnay, no Pinot Noir, couldn't make a Cosmopolitan due to no Cointreau or triple sec. Ordered food, same problem - out of wraps, mayo etc Air conditioner wasn't on and it's a very soupy day in Maine. The table was very sticky. Our server was delightful but what a terrible position to be put into. No doorknob on entry door- how does one make entry? That should have been our sign. Sadly a one and done for us. read more

Stopped at Norway Brewing after cross country skiing nearby. I had the brewers burger with cheese which was cooked perfectly to my medium rare specifications. I also added crispy shallots. My husband had the juicy Lucy. We both really liked the food and my husband, who is a big beer guy, thought the beer was excellent. Especially the brown ale. Food was a bit on the pricier side though. read more

Great beers and atmosphere. Burger was local beef and very good as well. Owners were great to talk to and the other customers were so nice. Would definitely recommend when in the area. read more

Norway Brewing - Front signage - Brewpubs Near Me - Norway, Maine

Well, I need to be absolutely upfront and honest as I review Norway Brewery. I am not a "beer" guy, so I really can't give a knowledgeable review based on beer. The next question I'm sure is on your mind, is why a brewery? Well, I have family that are heavily invested in the brewery scene, so that's where I go. I did order a flight which really is a deal at $12 for 6, four ounce pours. I also promptly provided extra beverages for my family, who really didn't mind. The one beer I did enjoy was Ghost in the Stairs. It is a Saison style beer which I am told is a pale ale that is highly carbonated, fruity and spicy. Go figure! We were a party of 10 and were seated in the outside type area with a heater above our heads. I was comfortable with my winter clothing on, however my wife was cold from the was down as was my niece. The menu was a bit limited with only a several choices. I think between everyone in my party we ordered one of everything on the menu. I had the chicken fingers and fries and they were both delicious. My wife picked up the chicken wrap and "gobbled" it up. The service was excellent. One of our sandwiches was made with a bun and my nephew had ordered it on a wrap, which prompted the manager visiting us telling how sorry he was with the mixup and that he would take the sandwich off the bill. Now that is some customer service. So, if you are in the Norway area and want a brew and a bite to eat be sure to drop by Norway Brewery. read more

Norway Brewing - Poutine - Brewpubs Near Me - Norway, Maine

We had a really pleasant dinner with drinks at Norway. We did a sampler with 6 different beers; we really loved their stout, the rest were solid but we didn't really love any of the others. For dinner we got their smoked wings tossed in homemade hot sauce, the smoke strongly came through and was delicious, and their sauce was creamy and reasonably spicy. We also got homemade chicken tenders, which were also quite good, nice and crunchy and fresh. I regret not trying more of their homemade sauces after how good the hot sauce was. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend Norway Brewing for a dinner/drinks night. read more

It's a little out of the way, but worth the trip. Great outdoor seating and friendly staff. We went in the Brunch window and ordered the chicken tenders, the pulled pork sammie, the poutine, and finished with a donut. The kids had some sparking cider and the adults did the beer flight. Tenders were good...nothing crazy in the tender world. Light and flakey breading. Comes with fries, which are very tasty. Poutine was fantastic. I could use more gravy, but isn't that always the case? The sammie was a surprise standout. All the flavors really worked together. The donut (triple berry compote and custard) was a late add "if we had room." We did not, but we made room. Very tasty as a whole package. The creamy custart put it over the top. Beers were good! My wife liked the surfer IPA best, while I liked the Grumpy stout. We would definitely go again, and recommend it. read more

Disclaimer: just came here for drinks and not food. I got a flight of the first six pours from the draft menu which was a good deal for $12 given the generous pours and the variety. The beers were all quite good especially the Farmhouse Ale. 4 rather than 5 stars given the ambiance, despite called a brewing company, the seating and ambiance felt more like a sit down dining place and there was no tap room/brewery/bar space to just hang out. Would not likely come back here just for drinks, but definitely would come back to have drinks and dinner! read more

Decent beer selection/options and great vibe. Food is pretty good as well. I had one bad meal there, but I think it was just a one time thing. read more

What a great little spot! I was so happy to find a place that still was serving stouts as many places stop during the summer months. We had an appetizer, a burger, & chicken & all were tasty. Their outdoor patio seating was nice & indoors was cozy. The servers/bar staff were great. Tusen takk for et fint besøk! read more

Amazing beer, fun different styles and taste! Plus the fried mushrooms!! *chefs kiss*

My fiancé and I stopped in to grab a bite while we were in the area, we did takeout so we could sit by the lake. We ordered the Chicken Parm sandwich, the Brewer's Burger w/ Cheddar, the Caesar Fried Brussels, & the loaded mac and cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious. This is one of those restaurants that is worth every penny spent. The bartender was kind enough to give my fiancé a few beer samples while he waited for the takeout. Chicken was crispy, burger was cooked perfectly, nothing was too salty or under seasoned. Every single thing we ate was 10/10. Perfect food and it looks beautiful even in a takeout box. I am very excited to come back here, thank you Norway Brewing!!! read more

The beer was good and the scene was awesome, nice locals vibe going on. The food was better than expected, everything we ordered was super good. The only thing odd is the set up. We walked in through the door in the parking lot and walked into the bar area. We didn't know if there was more to the inside, or what the scene was outside. The bartender goes "do you want to sit inside or outside" I was a little confused at to where to sit so I replied, "not sure, we just got here" She just looks at me and goes "I know." Like, seriously? read more

Been driving by here for years , always busy in the summer. I got take out without any alcohol. It was 6:45 pm Friday . My guest and I ordered the same things , beer onion Soup and brewers burger. I'm not a beer drinker. So I'll start with the soup , I got it to go so they put the cheese in the soup. It was not cheddar and it didn't melt. What ever cheese they used , a hard cheese over powered the soup and took over the flavor. It came with crostini on the side but didn't eat it as there was no cheese to top it . The burger was supposed to be local beef and cooked medium . It was not medium . It was the most dry flavorless burger I've ever had . It was supposed to have malt aioli . I didn't taste it . The lettuce was bad. Fries were soft not double fried. No to go menus . I have to say the prices were pretty high especially for the quality we got . This food left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be back. Might be a good place just to grab a beer . read more

Ambiance: 9/10 Hometown support: 10/10 Beer selection: Idk bc I don't drink anymore but I'm guessing 9.5/10 Service: 10/10 Creativity: 9.5/10 So I give a 4 out of 5 for a couple reasons: 1) it was like 65° in the dining room. In July that's great, in January, it's less than desirable. 2) although the foods presentation and creativity were top notch, I think it just barely missed the mark as far as taste goes. The sauce selections/varieties were awesome but the flavor itself fell short. The fries were good, but half of the basket was the little crispy bottom of the bag stuff that is hard to pick up (came out super hot though!) Our chicken sandwiches were okay, but again, lacked the flavor that I felt the menu described. Not bad, just not something I want to rush back and get. We had a blast playing Cards Against Humanity and our service was awesome. If it was a bit warmer, we would have stayed longer and played another round. I bet in the summer the patio is where it's at, I would definitely come back again. *Oh yeah, Mac + Cheese was pretty good and HUGE servings.* read more

Nice find here in Maine! Great food, good beer, and a trendy atmosphere. We ordered the poutine (omg amazing) and crab cakes. Both were very good. A liiiiiittle too expensive, but nevertheless, tasted great! I can not remember the beers we ordered but mine was a Pilsner-type beer, that had lots of citrus flavors! Mmmm Hubby ordered a stout of some sort which was way too heavy for my taste but he loved it! Servers were also very nice and helpful! Thank you!! read more

Great beer and awesome food! Fresh, cold, crisp beer with delicious, fresh spot on summer salad including mixed greens,cumcumber, and strawberries topped with feta cheese and an unbelievable blueberry dressing. She loved, loved, loved her perfectly cooked burger topped with aoli sauce. We both washed everything down with fresh tasting Farm Saisson. Perfect and highly recommended. read more

After a long wait for our food we were very disappointed. The food was okay but very overpriced for what it was. The waitress was more interested in taking care of regulars than waiting on us. Watched the bar tender test a drink with a straw and then put the end of the straw that had been in his mouth in another drink to test. read more

Went here for lunch and didn't realize they only had the brunch menu available. I can't remember the name of the sandwich I got but I recall it coming with an egg and ordered a side of home fries. The home fries were mehhh. I think they were trying to do something to make it special and put seasoning but it just made the fries taste sweet (almost like they were sweet potatoes), which I did not enjoy. The sand which itself was mediocre and seemed over priced considering how it tasted. I went with my mom who got veggie hash. It was good but nothing extraordinary. This place is pretty small (the indoor seating anyway) and doesn't have much space for large parties (larger than 5 unless you're okay with splitting up). It was super cold inside when I went. It was already cool outside (in the 50s) and it felt like the ac was being blasted with the fans all running. I couldn't even enjoy the food because I was so cold and it made the food go cold much faster. The service was also ok, nothing extra ordinary but nothing bad to say. Overall it just seemed overpriced for what it is. I'd be interested to see what their dinner menu looks like tho. The options seemed too limited. read more

yes yes yes!!! all around yes! great staff!! will definitely be back. Nice cold drinks and fun atmosphere.

Such a gem of a spot! Norway Brewing is off the beaten path. If you're from the area, odds are you've heard about it. If you're from away, it's worth the trip! We wandered into Norway Brewing after spending the day exploring. We had heard only good things about the beer and the food, and needed to see for ourselves if it lived up to the hype. The establishment itself it's super cute and hip. It's decorated with light teal accents and tasteful decor that make you feel happy. As for food, their menu rocks, and we had a tough time choosing what to eat. We finally decided on a flight of beer and the pulled pork poutine. 10/5!!!! The fries were crispy, the gravy was homemade, the cheese curds were fresh, and the pulled pork was tangy. It was the perfect balance of all things holy. SUPER impressed with this dish. For me, the beer left something to be desired. I did like one of the beers I tried, but wasn't wow'd by them. However, do not let this deter you from visiting!! No two beer palates are the same. Also, they have ample decks of Uno on hand, which make any afternoon more fun. If you're in the area or on your way back south from a frosty ski excursion at Sunday River, stop in and warm up at Norway Brewing-- you'll leave happy! 4/5! read more

It's no lie, the Maine beer scene is huge and its becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Have no fear, Noway Brewing Company is a breath of fresh air from the albeit good, but decently common: warehouse styled, IPA heavy, Portland breweries. My girlfriend and I came in to quench the thirst midweek during a vacation on Sebago Lake. I was very impressed with the IPA and the the Oatmeal Stout. We also had the pulled pork poutine which was the bomb! A perfect sharing portion, with a friendly portion of pulled pork. Super cool interior with a fun patio (had it not been 96 outside) and extremely friendly and welcoming staff. I'd definitely recommend the drive from anywhere near! read more

The only bad thung I can say another Norway Brewing is I am often in the area on Monday and Tuesday when they are not open, so I miss the terrific beer and even more terrific food. Definitely worth the stop anytime you are hungry or thirsty in the Norway/Bethel area. read more

Very nice brewery with good beer and good food. Stopped in and very much enjoyed the visit. We sat outside on a cool evening and enjoyed a flight and a meal. I had the chicken sandwich, which was ok. The poutine appetizer was pretty awesome! The beers were very good as well. In fact, I got a 4 pack and bottle of one of their limited releases to take with me. Overall a great place to stop. The only minor flaws I found were the limited indoor seating and the fact there aren't servers that take your order. You have to go up to a small host stand to order your food and beer. It's not much of an inconvenience, but worth noting. However unlikely that I'll be back here in this part of Maine again - I would definitely stop in if I am. read more

Norway Brewing is a great place to visit and a gem for the area. The outdoor patio is comfortable and cute with interesting lighting and live music. They craft very delicious dark beers (stouts and porters) with local coffee. The brunch menu changes weekly and always sounds delicious. That will be the next visit! read more

The atmosphere here is great. They've decorated in a trendy, rustic way. Old snow shoes hang as decorations on the walls alongside white Christmas lights, and the flights are served in old metal tool drawers from an old hardware store in town. Very cool vibe. The service is good. Staff is friendly. The beers themselves are tasty and diverse. Many different options from pale ale to rye to stout and some seasonal. Recently there is a new Apple Bear that is 3.3% and resembles a cider. Nice and crisp. Menu of food is fitting for a brewery, too. I recommend the cheese plate. Overall a good place to grab dinner or stop in for a drink, although space is limited indoors in the winter. Outdoor patio and beer garden open in the summer are very spacious and nice. read more

We stopped here for dinner one night, while visiting friends who had moved up here. We went here, and I was instantly in love with the interior. It's really, really cute. Everything is bright and cheerful, and the different colors and textures work so well together. Is it trendy, with a lot of cliche decor elements? Yes. But is it executed well? YES. And as weird as this may sound, my favorite part of the place was actual liquid hand soap in the bathroom. So many places use foam now, and I never feel like my hands are clean enough (yes - I know this is random and weird). I'm not a beer drinker, so I can't speak to the beer. My husband ordered a flight, and then ordered a regular sized IPA. This place loses a star because of their lack of non-beer options. I know it's a brewery, but they also serve really excellent food. It would be nice if children, pregnant women, or just non-beer drinkers had a few more options. I had an elderflower soda, which was okay. The food was incredible. My husband and I both ordered specials: I had the little pig, which was pork belly and a super fresh and bright tasting slaw (and an order of fries), and my husband had the cornbread stuffed pork shoulder. Both dishes were amazing. We both ordered dessert as well. He had the charred corn coconut cream pie, and I had an herby blueberry sorbet. Again, both were amazing. The service was excellent - with one flaw. We had ordered an appetizer of pimiento cheese, and we never received it. Being from the south, we were both looking forward to it, but oh well. Our server was incredibly friendly and efficient. The food took a while to come out, but that was communicated to us when we ordered, which is so helpful (I don't understand why more businesses seem incapable of just keeping their customers informed). read more

I think this is a great addition to this little town. I am only in the area for about a week every year while on vacation so this was a nice new place to go. Food was really excellent. Everyone in our group loved their meals! Two got the Italian sausages, while another got the Porchetta panini and I got this awesome sandwich... ham, egg and cheese on herbed toast with real maple syrup for dipping. My sandwich was exploding with flavor and I was seriously contemplating getting one to go. I fought the urge to be gluttonous but ended up ordering dessert which was a delicious blueberry marshmallow that was roasted and sandwiched between 2 soft lemon cookies and drizzled with caramel sauce. To. Die. For. My only complaint about the dessert is that I think the cookies needed to be crispy instead of soft. There was just too much soft texture going on in the dessert and a crispy cookie would have been the perfect contrast. But, don't get me wrong, the lemon cookies were ah-mazing! Just think this particular dessert would have benefited from some other texture. A couple complaints: - This place was way too hot. There were ceiling fans going but they were not doing much to cool it down. It also looked like there was some sort of AC but didn't feel it working. - The restrooms were very hot with little ventilation and there is one stall that has a window in it which looks out to their outdoor seating. Hopefully you can't see in! Awkward. - They were out of the beer a few of us wanted to try. I had the IPA but that's not really what I like to have for beer so I personally would not get the IPA again. Someone else who loves Indian Pale Ale may love it though! Overall, I will definitely be back when I am in the area. The food is really great and hopefully the temperature issues will be better next year :) read more

THE GOOD: GREAT food. I've been all around the US and unfortunately not many restaurants know how to cook a burger to order nowadays. These guys get it SPOT ON every time. Been here 6-7 times since they opened. I have loved everything I've eaten so far. THE BAD: It's really a shame but out of the 6-7 times I've been here, I've waited almost an hour for food regardless of how many people are in the restaurant. Besides the wait I love the place. Seems like they are TOO popular and understaffed. Still 4 stars from me! It's a must try. read more

To start, my wife and I were driving through and saw this place and thought it was would be a great place to stop and grab a quick drink. We didn't get any food, just wanted to grab a drink and hop back on the road. Walking in from the parking lot, it appears you're walking through the back door. You wind around and finally get to the bar. After standing at the bar awkwardly for a few minutes, a gentleman asked if we were going to be joining them? We asked if we could sit outside, but unfortunately there was a waiting list. Thought that was a little weird as their was a big area where you could just sit with a drink and there was no line to seen. So we ended up sitting in the corner, which was weird, I faced the wall and my wife faced the window. We got 3 different beers 'Mr Grumpypants', 'Bam's Brown' and 'The Left Turn'. None of them were amazing and actually tasted a bit weird to both of us. Overall, the atmosphere of the establishment was way different than what we were expecting. We were expecting a brewery/tap room and we really got a restaurant that brews beer. I would most likely not stop here again, for just drinks, and would probably not recommend this to my friends and family. read more

Great beers. Good food. Friendly service. Will definitely be back despite our 30 minute drive!

This was a fun stop. We went with a group of friends after "junking" they had been before. The beers were fun to try. The blueberry actually tasted like blueberry, not just a mild flavor but a real strong berry flavor, it was awesome for dessert. Everyone ordered burgers and was thrilled with them. They loved it. I had a salad and perogies. They were not anything like my Polish grandmother made... they were WAY better!! Overall the service was great, food was excellent, sitting outside was comfortable and relaxing. A lovely find, I would happily go back. read more

Great brews and great fresh food!! We've been there twice when we were visiting friends and it's now a "must" destination when in the area. Both times we were there it was summer and sat outside. The wait staff was great and very personable. The last time I had a great burger with nice crisp fries! Kudos- my wife left her credit card there one time and didn't realize it until we were back in Massachusetts. After calling and confirming they had the card, they securely and promptly mailed it to us. Great place, great people! read more
