Our first stop after arriving in Maine for the fourth of July week. Excellent patio area. Lots of seating options inside. Numerous beer choices. Staff was helpful with everything. Gluten free pizza crust was really good. Decent parking but we were there in the middle of the week.

We were traveling along 295 and spotted this on the map. It is right off the highway and definitely worth the stop! All of the beer we tried was quite good! Prices were very reasonable as well! We did not get the pizza, but it smelled and looked wonderful! I hope we find ourselves along this road at some point in the future. We would love to stop in again for a meal.

Stopped in while visiting from Delaware. This was a bucket list visit stop and it lived up to expectations. Maine Beer Co. is a fairly simple place. They repeatedly have the same options which they focus on perfectly. The result is some truly excellent beer. They also focus on sustainability which is awesome. They have pizza available as well. If you are deciding what to get, Dinner, and Second Dinner are the best options in my opinion.

Very cool experience! The young, hipster crowd vibe was very evident, yet the music was classic 80s, making the place inclusive of a larger demographic. They even accommodated us without a reservation on a busy Sunday afternoon. Service was quick and friendly. Fire-grilled pizzas with avant guard toppings (as well as traditional) were excellent and if your spouse is a beer drinker but you're not, they do have wine and seltzer choices on the menu. Overall, a great outing!

What if beer get cold, then warm and then cold agin

Mike Russo | Aug 19, 2019
Curt Hunnewell | Aug 19, 2019

Something on the internet pedigreed in this topic, certainly more knowledgeable than me: In short, no issue. As explained by George de Piro, a biochemist and Brewmaster of C. H. Evans Brewing Company— When light hits beer, it provides the energy necessary to drive a reaction that transforms the iso-alpha-acids into 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol. The “thiol” part of that somewhat cumbersome name indicates that there is sulfur present. Sulfur compounds often have strong, offensive aromas. Some musteline animals, like skunks, have evolved the ability to produce this chemical, and use it for self-defense. [...] This photochemical reaction is the only cause of skunked beer. Warm storage, while damaging to the flavor of beer, does not skunk it. Cycling the temperature of beer from warm to cold and back again is also not implicated. Storing beer in the dark is the simple way to prevent skunking.

Jack Stinson | Aug 19, 2018
Paul Bennett | Aug 19, 2018

I don't work for them, but live in Freeport. They do distribute in NH. Their website has a location finder.

Why can't we get more deliveries to the NY NJ area? Four, yes 4 different distributor I'm my area regularly request 10 cases of Lunch but are lucky if they can get 1 case, usually zero, every other month.

Richard Polhamus | Aug 19, 2018
Michael Lewin | Aug 19, 2018

There is more demand than there is beer.

I see you have distribution in IL and OH. I’m a big fan in Indiana. What are chances you guys get distributor in Indiana? Monarch Beverage is main beer distributor in town.

Contact your distributor to see if they will get the product you want or contact Maine Beer to see if they can ship to you
