    I am taking a trip up to Maine this weekend. Any breweries I should be specifically looking for (Obviously Maine Beer Company) ? I am much more familiar with VT and NH.

    Bissel Brothers, Foundation and Union Street in Portland. All in the same building. Allagash is across the street. You win.

    @Billyro1818 This is pretty much your answer in a nutshell.

    Feel free to skip Shipyard and Sea Dog. We LOVE Banded Horn in Biddeford. You won't be let down.

    I'd definitely say Rising Tide as well. Armada and Calcutta Cutter are fantastic brews. Lawn games out front!

    And you can't forget Oxbow.

    I meant to say Austin Street in my original post... not Union Street.

    I second Barreled Souls in Saco. Austin Street is so underrated.

    There are a couple of awesome bottle shops and bars in Portland as well. Stop by Novare Res if you get the chance. Great beer bar.

    Maine Beer Company, Allagash, Foundation, Oxbow and Banded Horn would be my top 5 choices. In that order.
