A list of some of the best nano-breweries, micro-breweries and brew pubs that I have come across.
1. Half Moon Bay Brewing Company
Doug Ray: Great beach-y brewery with great wheat beers for you to drink as the sun sets.
2. The Church Brew Works
Doug Ray: Housed in an old Irish church, the brewing equipment is located where the Altar should be
3. Penn Brewery
Doug Ray: Great for Oktoberfest. Classic German-style brews and decent German-style food.
4. East End Brewing Company
Doug Ray: One of the few places in Western Pennsylvania where you can get a growler filled.
5. Allagash Brewing Company
Doug Ray: Seriously some of the best beers in America are being produced here. Try everything, buy everything. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
6. The Shipyard Brewing Company
Doug Ray: Skip the tacky shops in the Old Port and come here for a better souvenir of Maine like some Pumpkinhead.
7. Sea Dog Brewing Company
Doug Ray: A great brew pub run by the Shipyard guys. Their specialty is Blueberry Wheat Ale, but I would advise you against it.
8. Gritty McDuff's
Doug Ray: A popular spot with the Bates College kids. To be avoided during parents' weekend.
