Maine Beer Company

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maine Beer Company was one of the highlights of our trip to Maine. The beer was outstanding, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for. The space is beautiful, welcoming, and has a great balance of being family-friendly while still feeling like a destination for serious craft beer fans. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer questions and make recommendations. Every beer we tried was fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted. It’s easy to see why Maine Beer Company has earned such a strong reputation. What impressed me most was the overall experience. From the quality of the beer and food to the attention to detail throughout the brewery, everything felt thoughtfully done. If you’re anywhere near Freeport, this is absolutely worth the stop. We’ll definitely make it a point to visit again on future trips to Maine. Highly recommended!”

“First rate experience! Staff was amazing. At one point I was headed back to the Patio and a team member noticed and walked 1/2 way across the Brewery to open the door. Everyone did everyrhing they could to make our experience amazing. We had the blueberry and lemonade sodas and that were great. The amazing award winning (Best Pizza by Bob Award) was outstanding. Equal to or better than new Haven Pizza. Thank you for suce a great experience!”

“MBC is a fantastic place to spend a few hours drinking excellent beer, eating good food, and just hang out! Stop by on your way to/from the LL Bean outlet, or if you’re just in town. MBC is completely not for profit with all proceeds going towards the various conservation efforts they support. Staff are friendly and the vibe is good. They have heated outdoor seating which can be turned on by request. When you first enter, you are seated by the host and then you can go to the bar to order your beer/sampler/food and then pay. You take your beer as it’s ready and they run the food to you. Seating is ample, and the water feature provides excellent ambiance. The fin whale skeleton is a sight to behold, and the beers are good. Food is excellent as well. Highly recommended!”

“Great spot in Freeport!! One of our favorite breweries through our trip to Portland and Bar Harbor! Space was exceptionally clean, beer was the best we had, and pizza was amazing! They also don’t accept tips - only donations which I think is super cool and rare. They have it down pat here, gonna miss it!”

“A hostess stand greets you when you walk through the doors, with a host or hostess that is required to seat you...in a brewery. Picnic tables are your seating options and a small food menu. Orders must be placed at the bar so get in line. If you want bottles to go, there's another bar set up with a large refrigerator behind it that has the available brews. You stand there and wait for someone to come over. In my case I waited 5 minutes or so and no one came. They delivered our pizza to the table so I went back to the table. Pizza was good, and you can't go wrong with Lunch on tap. When we finished our meal, I went back to the bottled beer spot, two people working it at this time so I placed my order. Lady behind the bar couldn't locate our tab, stated we must have closed it, which we didn't. She eventually found it in their system. Closed our tab and left. On the way out they have a little merch room, just past that is an outdoor patio with seating, and where dogs are allowed. Big parking lot which I am sure fills very fast. 3 stars because this place was cold, physically and from just about each staff we interacted with were indifferent or a tad haughty. Very uncomfortable. I won't go back again. Miss the days before they expanded, when it felt more local, more friendly and you hoped the pretzel lady had made a delivery and there was still a pretzel left to go with your beer. Sometimes bigger is not better. The beer is great though. I'll buy it in the store and skip the brewery.”
