Oxbow Open in Portland, ME

pretty pumped to see this. Portland is certainly a more manageable day trip than Newcastle

 

The greatest news I've heard in a while

 

I just said , out loud at my desk, oh well this is excellent news.

 

address
Location & Hours
49 Washington Ave, right next to Maine Mead Works.
which means its a stone throws away from Mama's Crow bar

 

Is it a tasting room/bottle shop?

 

"Both locations serve samples to enjoy on tap, and bottles, growlers, and soft goods are available for purchase to go."

What a great brewery! Thanks for the heads up!

 

Is this near Rising Tide?

 

yea, walking distance

 

Phenomenal

 

Awesome awesome news - What a great addition to that area.

To any Visitors there this week: Please post pics of the site, tap lists, bottle availability, etc. Thanks in advance!

 

Another outstanding addition to the thoroughly walkable neighborhood of (Y)east Bayside where fermentation biz rules! It's become the Waterbury of Portland, and it's purely awesome!

 

Was just there this afternoon to check it. Sweet place and plenty spacious. I definitely plan on frequenting often. No growlers yet, but they say soon. They had La Grisetta, Blended Oxtoberfest, and Arboreal for sale as bottles. All of which were also on tap along with continental, domestic, grizacca, and space cowboy. There were a couple more, but some dude's head is in the way of the draft board in the picture I took.

 

Is it just "Samples" off the taps, OR full pours too?

 

Maine has always been a great beer city! But lately they are killing it. If you include some of the NH Seacoast breweries there are close to 20 breweries well worth a visit.

 

Full 8-12 oz. pours.

 

Awesome, that's great. Thanks for the details! Last Question: Are they NOT filling any growlers at this time? OR would they fill any Oxbow glass I might already have from Newcastle?

Thanks again,

 

oh yeah?
