They had plenty of yard games and toys for the young kids and adult kids. Plenty of covered seating for all. Beautiful view of the vineyard! Service was nice, they were very patient with the customers that were indecisive and with a lot of questions. They were more patient than I was LOL If you like cider, you should definitely check out this location during the summer.

Think of it as a large farm with a rustic barn with roaming chickens everywhere. Even a few chickens inside greeting all the guests during our visit! The feel and look of the barn reminded me and my wife of our barn wedding! Definitely a spot during nice weather with so much space available and so much nature to soak up! Then their drink offerings are so huge and vast especially for this area of Maine. Give their house made ciders a try that are not too sweet but have tons of flavor. If cider isn't your thing then don't worry they still got you! Their drink menu is huge with beers from all over the world, wines, cocktails, and on and on. Then often they also have food trucks so grab a bite to eat or bring some of your own snacks if the food truck of the day isn't your ideal meal! The staff were phenomenal as well with their kindness and knowledge. Also often hosting live music as well so bring your friends and family for a night of drinks, live music and enjoying the outdoors. This place is a must try if you are in the area but I think it's also worth the trip even if it's a little further out! I look forward to our return trip.

The beer was really good and they had some coloring books for kids that one of the employees was nice enough to bring over to us. A small space, so I wouldn't try to go with a group bigger than 4 or so--at least in the winter. It looked like they have an outside setup in the warmer weather.

Had a late lunch here today, as Sidereal Farm Brewery was close by to the Airbnb we were staying at…read morethis week. As a disclaimer for this review, we came for the food, not the beer. My wife ordered the burnt ends and I went with the simmered ribs. We felt the meal portions were a bit on the smaller side, but I also think the pricing reflected that. The meats themselves were tender, but I felt my ribs were overseasoned somewhat. The sweet potato side was outstanding, just wish we had more of that. And the Fire Roasted brussels and artichoke side was burnt, to be honest. Cornbread, however, was extremely tasty. Still, overall, a decent meal, but somewhat inconsistent. 3.5 , rounded up to a 4 Star Yelp rating, IMO. Again, I can't comment about the beer, because we don't consume beer. I really shouldn't say the place had a "Hipster vibe", but it was certainly a unique and cool setting for a casual lunch.

Was excited to see a brewery/fine dining place out of the way on the map so we tried it!…read moreBased on the reviews here we had high hopes but it ended up being underwhelmed. Generally over all beer vs. food the beer was better. We liked 2 of the 4 we tried. The staff is very friendly, kind and accommodating and actually took one of the food items off- we didn't ask and were willing to pay so that was nice. Hubby ordered the "perfect scallop" it was almost inedible due to the amount of salt used. I had the burnt ends with peach/caper berry slaw, Tuscan Mac and cheese and sourdough bread. The burnt ends had good flavor but they were very overdone and dry. Mac and cheese had a good sauce bread was tasty. Neither of us enjoyed the slaw but maybe someone else would have. Overall a neat place to try but unsure if we'll try it again.

Obsessed! We stopped on the way to Belfast, and the place did not disappoint. This brewery had…read moreeverything that we look for in a brewery: great pours, plenty of space, lots of seating options, and great service. Seating and Ambiance: They have outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating as well. The couches inside are so comfortable. They also allow pups inside which I appreciated it! On a hot summer day, it was difficult for our pup to be out so this really came in handy and allowed us to have a good time. The inside area is SO spacious. Half of it is an arcade/game room with plenty of arcade games so make sure you bring some quarters. Pours: We had 4 pints and took a 4-pack to go, all for $48. The beers were really good. I really enjoyed their IPA "Cease and Desist" which they said was their most popular one. Service: We had the best service. The woman at the front gave us great beer recommendations and was so nice and welcoming from the moment we stepped inside. All in all, a solid 5 out of 5!

The setup is small and cluttered, and a "tour" is kind of a loose term at the moment, but the beer and conversation is worth the effort.

It's very much off the beaten path but an absolute worthy spot of taking a detour for! The dirt roads were very well maintained though I must say. Once you arrive they have a giant parking lot and then once inside you step into a beautifully designed rustic space. If the weather is nice they have some absolutely stunning views you can take in outside while enjoying your beverage. During our visit, I will say a large portion of the space was in use for a party/event. Despite this the staff were very warm and welcoming to our party and even tried to create a private lounge like space for us. I very much appreciated the effort they put to make us feel welcome. I wish the weather would have been a little nicer to enjoy outside! I got their vanilla hard cider while my wife got their blueberry hard cider. Both were phenomenal. They also offer flights for only $10 and even have suggestions for some mixing of ciders including a fan favorite mix of blueberry and maple to create a blueberry pancake. I have had this blend previously and it is amazing! A spot worth adding to your list to visit for the breath-taking views and delicious drinks!
