Maine has made a name for itself as one of the best destinations in America if you love food and beverage. Leading the charge (at least as far as press goes) is Portland. From dinner to brunch to cocktails to beer, there’s not much you can’t find if you’re hungry in Maine’s biggest town. Especially when it comes to drinks! This brewery is one of the larges in Maine, but when you consider the size of some of the craft breweries across the country, this one might be considered on the smaller side by comparison. Regardless of its square footage, we’re just happy that it exists here in Maine. And that it’s getting some national attention!
Bissel Brothers Brewing Company, located in Portland, got its start back 2013.
