Now that’s a nice rural pub. A big old house turned into a pub, the interior is warm and has history. The back patio is a “you have to see it to believe it” thing with that old rusty fridge and all. The city-boy that I am found the back patio fantastically kitsch and I truly enjoyed the redneck white trash decoration. There was 9 beers on tap when I was there but I think that they usually have a lot less than that. I was there the day after their big One Night Stand event and they have a huge number of taps for that yearly event. They also had some bottles like Weyerbaker XIII, 90 minutes, Carolus, etc. I only tried some of their taps and I found most of their session beer to be very good but I was not convinced by their stronger and barrel aged brews. Food is greasy pub food. We were happy with our food and it was rather cheap for what we got. We had an excellent friendly service. This is a pub I will make a detour to visit next time I go down southern Maine.

The place is quite nice, they have a bar located outside in the back of the place, which seems like a great idea for the summer. The food and service was good. They had three house beers on tap plus guest beers also on tap including Sierra Nevada Big Foot. The house beers were good and without flaws. Overall, this place needs to be known more, it’s quite interesting.

I had no idea this place was here. It happened to be on our route to Ebenezer’s so we stopped in for dinner and some beers. The building was very comfortable and had a nice patio area out back. They had 7 beers on tap, four of their own and three guest taps. The beers were pretty good and you could tell that they experiment a good deal because they served an amber ale flavored with sweet potatoes and a peated porter. Their 440 Blues Brew was really good, too. I got the bbq brisket, and it was pretty tasty, although pretty fatty (not unheard of when it comes to brisket though). I was pleasantly surprised and very happy to have stumbled onto this place

The old house in which this cozy brewpub is located makes for a very comfortable and unpretentious setting for a meal and a few pints. The backyard bar is quite inviting too. They had 3 beers of their own when we visited, all of which being well brewed and quaffable. They also had 3 guest taps, one from Oak Pond Brewery, one from Andrew’s, and SN Bigfoot. Service was very friendly and the lunch we had was tasty pub fare. All in all, I wouldn’t mind coming back here of course, but it’s rather out of the way to be worth a frequent detour. If I were in Portland though, I’d probably drive over a few times a year.

I believe this place is pretty new. They only had four of their own brews kicking at the time. But the place is obviously on their way. They have been around in Washington State for 13 years, and recently moved back to Maine to start this place. Nice place, friendly atmosphere, and some good beers. The oatmeal stout was on Nitrogen tap, and that was absolutely delicious. They had other beers in bottles, pretty average selection. Also about four other beers on tap from other breweries. one Hidden Agenda Black IPA was superb. They had some good liquor as well. I love Bushmills... I had a good time, and drank some good brews. Worth while.
