Owned by the same folks that run Novare Res, this brewery and distillery offers excellent and interesting beer, as well as unique cocktails and bites to eat. Ambiance and uniqueness is where its at.
JasonJune 30, 2013Excellent selection of eclectic adult beverages, great apps, and good vibe with a decent view of the harbor.- TrevorDecember 7, 2013Visited in winter and the Interior needs some work before it's a cosy spot. It's quite new so there are very few of their own drinks to try yet. Had an unbalanced coffee-based cocktail.
Maine Foodie ToursMay 15, 2015Deck seating! Porters and stouts available aplenty, when other bars are stocking up on IPA's and Wheat Beers. Nice variety of shareable apps. Try the Oatmeal Stout!
Brent GatewoodSeptember 24, 2014Great burger, great fries and their own beer! Great spot. Make there own everything. I'll be back.
Bill MinkowitzApril 18, 2013As you would expect the house beer is awesome. Even if you don't think you will like it try it.
Ryan CampbellJuly 14, 2017Cool atmosphere, good beer. You really can't go wrong drinking beer on a deck overlook the harbor if you ask me...
Shelly T.August 2, 2013Great atmosphere. Wonderful bar service - really friendly, knowledgable bartenders and servers and the beer is real tasty and unique.
Jimmy NevinsMay 13, 2014They don't have traditional sodas. They make all their soda in house with different spices and such. The "cola" has a distinct ginger taste to it.
Lindsay BigsAugust 14, 2014Sit outside, beautiful view. The beers are all unique so try them all but there wasn't one that was "amazing".
Greg GSeptember 4, 2014Grab a seat at the bar and look through the window to the brewery/distillery. Nice, unique beer list, but food seemed a bit pricey.
Griffin TurnipseedApril 26, 2017The McRiot Burger and several Belgian style beers made for a handsome there beverage meal.
Tamara HMay 27, 2013Skip the cocktails and opt for a beer. Even if you're "not a dark beer person," you won't believe how good the Disbelief is. And it's like, $5 for a pint. Double win.
Jeanne TilleyJuly 20, 2013Beer selection is eclectic to say the least. Ask for tastings before committing- the staff even when busy are happy to oblige!
Draught list is always rotating... expect something a little different each time. Solid beers.
Brooks HurdSeptember 16, 2014The rauch bier is good. The IPAs are good, but not outstanding. The food is very good for a brew pub.
The steak and stilton croquettes with sweet garlic sauce are amazing.
Larry DohertyAugust 15, 2014Great food and drinks, just need to decide if its worth the poor service
Chris BrookJanuary 23, 2015In'finiti Fermentation & Distillation is no longer! Same beers and booze but they rebranded in Jan. 2015 as Liquid Riot Bottling Company.
Brian SharwoodSeptember 2, 2013The beers were nice, but the service could use some fixing up. Nice outdoor seating also.
Patrick FitzgeraldMay 25, 2013Beer is decent but cocktails are very weak for the price. Food and service need some help. Good location for a pretzel and beer.
Natasha MerchantApril 4, 2013Absinthe candy tastes likes black licorice! In case ya don't know, now ya know!
Chris KeenanSeptember 1, 2013Not very impressed. 3 house beers all tasted identical. Fish & Chips, more like batter and shoe string fries. Don't ask for malt vinegar either ..don't have it and mock you for asking. Poor experience

"Great food, but service was slow and they were unwilling to make accommodations. Brussels sprouts and mussels were excellent."

"Perhaps the best beer bar in Maine (which says a lot!). Tap-list is unreal - so well balanced between quality locals and obscure, though well curated, imports."
Ian Covey - 7.2
"Always something on special, and a decent selection of beer. Also a good place for a large group to hang out. Free popcorn."
Carla Jean - 7.6
"Good local beer. We always stop here when we're in Portland. They have a mug club if you're a local and I am partial to the copper bar top as far as aesthetics go."
