    This is my second visit . Food was great ! Bison Burger with truffle fries and pork belly Bao buns . Asked for a regular table not a high top. They sat strangers at our table while we were eating . It was uncomfortable. Please add some low two person tables . We will back this summer when we can eat outside . Two burgers and fries , 1 app and two lemonades . $87.00 .

    Food was great, Brussels were so CRIPSY. If you don't like Brussels you will now. Giant pretzel was 10/10 esp for the person who's " not hungry" . Devoured. Mustard is spicy but you can't get enough..beer cheese just enough flavor to even out the bites of spicy mustard. Flight of beers were good , always nice to try something new . Things that were recommended & that we tried , 10/10. Beer : awesome to try , we dabble in ipas. 7.8/10. We'd do another flight ‍

    From the funny wall art, outside seating, and exceptional staff, Steam Mill is a must if you're in the area. My fiancé and I got engaged last summer and this was our first stop. We returned this summer, and we were greeted with the same smiling faces, delicious food & drinks. There are live musicians several nights a week, along with games like jumbo jenga and cornhole. The specials menu include every kind of liquor you can think of in a mixed beverage. The staff are always welcoming, and they offer a variety of local brews to try!

    Amazing ambiance, friendly servers, beer options are hand crafted with care. Food is amazing to match the brews.

    We enjoyed our time at the bar while waiting for a table. The bartenders were attentive and friendly and the drinks were great. Our waiter was great too- very upbeat and helpful. The major negative was the stools at the table. They were very small and uncomfortable, even for an average person. The pretzel, nachos, and cauliflower were great. The entrees were just ok. Next time, we may just stop for drinks and eat elsewhere.

    What a great spot! We stopped in here while wandering around Bethel. Welcomed warmly by who I believe was the manager, who led us to a beautiful outdoor seating area. The beer here was SO. DAMN. GOOD. We got the blueberry beer and loved it so much we got a four pack to take home. Truly delicious and fresh beer. And they put blueberries in it! Gender neutral restroom and very clean. Overall super friendly staff. Note it is a little pricey, and they only do 12 oz pours, which kind of sucks. There's a food truck attached and I want to try it the next time I come! They had live music in the evening too. Just a really relaxed, fun spot. A must stop!

    Strawberry Margarita. Spicy and very good.

    The service and food were very good. My husband and I would definitely go again. My only complaint was the chairs were so hard and uncomfortable.

    Steam Mill Brewing was incredible! We called ahead to see if we could come with our pup and they said there was outdoor seating in an A frame, so we bundled up and headed there. When we arrived, they offered such great hospitality by setting up a heater and table for us in the A frame. Service was outstanding and the wait staff checked on us multiple times throughout the visit to see if we needed anything (and to give pets to the pup)! The food was great--recommend the Nashville chicken sandwich, Pho bowl, and even a burger for the pup! Would definitely recommend this place and we will be coming back during our next trip to Sunday River!

    Wow! I can't believe that I am just now discovering this place only 35-ish minutes up route 26 from…read morethe Gray turnpike exit. Fantastic and creative brews (and "guest stars" like a Absalom cider), a very relaxing and chill vibe, a nice open space inside, and incredible seating options outside, even in the winter. Lots of outdoor activities, including x-country skiing free of charge, and plenty of parking. Not having been here before, my friend and I appreciated the clear signage of where to go for food vs. gear. We were fortunate to get to the barn before all the morning skiers arrived for lunch and were able to order and seat ourselves pretty quickly upstairs. We looked at the menu and went back downstairs to order food and drinks. The drinks we carried upstairs, but the pizza we ordered was brought to us. To pay and to order more drinks, downstairs you go. And with the free x-country ski trails, on a nice day, this place jams up pretty fast. Soon tables are packed, there are lines to get food and drinks, and to use the 3 individual non-gender restrooms. Just a few things I found a bit odd or inconvenient - 1) They have a wonderful beer selection, but don't do flights :( 2) The hybrid service model is a bit confusing and certainly inconvenient. Technology could certainly help smooth this out. 3) To pay, you either have to pay in full (and tip) when you order, or have to wait in line at the same line where people are ordering in order to pay, 4) 3 single bathrooms are not enough for the peak capacity Aside from the wonderful beer selection, the highlights were free x-country skiing with a warming hut, plenty of parking and friendly staff. This is my new go-to winter refuge :)

They have fireplace, picnic tables, high tops etc. I ordered a Pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and it didn't disappoint! My wife ordered a cheese pizza. For dessert we ordered the Zeppole which were fresh and sugary! Stop by! We didn't get a beer as we don't drink, but great food and super dog friendly as you can hang outside.

There was natural brick everywhere and little piggies lining every corner of the place. I sat at the bar and sampled a number of their beers, I think it was eight out of 10. They do serve food as well and since it wasn't quite dinner time, I opted for the special which was butternut squash bisque. Holy cow was this delicious! Thick and rich and warming, and served with a piece of brown bread that was just perfect for dipping. I will definitely go back here again anytime I am in the area.

I'm so glad I did -- it's gotta be one of my favorite breweries in Maine. Definitely top 5. The views here might just be the best in the whole state. You get stunning mountain and hill views, which were especially beautiful during our fall visit. There's plenty of outdoor seating with tables, chairs, fire pits, and even some covered spots. The indoor space is small but cozy. The beer pours were fantastic. The menu was a bit limited, but there was something for everyone. Their NEIPA and DIPA were incredibly smooth, and my partner said his pumpkin ale special was amazing. They also offer food, which was a nice surprise. We ordered the pretzels (3 pieces for $10) and they were delicious. I can't wait to go back.

It's off the beaten path, but with a great vista. The beers are fantastic - smooth and flavorful... we are getting sick of bitter IPAs, and the selection here has the hop flavor without the bite. Fluvial hits home runs on several styles, and to top it off, live music that I actually like. What a great place to spend a warm Saturday afternoon!
