DeepWater Brewing Company — Local services in Blue Hill

I stopped by Deepwater Brewing Co. on my way down the coast. The brewery wasn't open until 5 pm but I stuck my head in and had a chance to meet the brewer (also the bartender and head cook). He took a few minutes to tell me about the brewery started in 2011 and the renovations he's made to turn an old barn and farmhouse into a beautiful and elegant restaurant, brewery and brew pub.

Although Deepwater Brewing is not yet distributing their delicious craft beer, it's definitely worth a stop at their brewery and brew pub in Blue Hill, ME for a tasting, a pint and a growler to take home. I've visited over 200 American breweries and brew pubs and this one stands out for its authentic coastal atmosphere, tastefully renovated taproom and of course the unique and thoughtfully crafted beer only found right here in...

I was not thrilled with the tartar sauce, it was homemade and did not taste like any tartar sauce I have ever had.i make my own tartar sauce and it is excellent, this sauce was not. The chips part of the meal we're also a disappoinment. They were hand cut and I expected something great, but they were under cooked. The finally part of my meal was superb, it was a turtle cheese cake...

The food is on point, and the service is excellent. The beer is fair, not something I would go out of my way to return for. The clientele is, by a large margin, the snootiest I have ever encountered at a brew pub. We went for a beer and a bite after a day hike, and were noticeably (and commented on by other guests as) shabby. The two tables next to us were engaged in some sort of snarky status war over who had the most influence at an opera....
