Draft magazine has paid a visit to Portland to explore our city’s rapidly evolving beer scene.
Bars like The Great Lost Bear and Novare Res have championed beer for years, and now there’s even more to root for: 13 [Maine] breweries launched in 2013 and a staggering 16 more will fling open their doors this year. Sense the excitement and convivial vibe in the city’s tasting rooms, and strike at the chance to taste East Coast Portland’s beer bounty.
The article highlights: Mama’s Crowbar, Rising Tide, Allagash, Bissell Brothers, Austin Street, Foundation Brewing, Salvage BBQ, Maine Beer Company, Pai Men Miyake, In’finiti, the Bier Cellar, Urban Farm Fermentory, and Central Provisions.
The article isn’t yet online but you should be able to find the July/August issue on newsstands soon.
Updated: the article is now online.
16 more? A beer bubble?
My liver hurts just thinking about it!
Is that sixteen impending breweries statewide? Or sixteen in Portland? I’m assuming it’s the former which makes more sense.
16 in Maine
