Oxbow

Portland


Another cool brewery in Maine with innovative beer and a big, welcoming brewery bar? Why the hell not? This enormous space isn't just a good spot to grab one of Oxbow's farmhouse beers: you'll find yoga classes here, art shows, cheese tastings and other events. DuckFat provides on-site food, so really, you never have to leave.
