Portland, Maine | Beer Spot Recommendation 🍻

Let’s be real—"visiting Acadia National Park" was just an excuse; the real goal was sipping beer along the way! When passing through Portland, Maine, a stop at Allagash Brewing Company is non-negotiable. To sample as many brews as possible, we ordered two rounds of beer flights—here’s how each one stacked up: 🍺 Beer Flight Breakdown (Ratings out of 5) Farm to Face: 2.5/5 A sour ale aged on peaches—but the tartness was shockingly sharp, and we couldn’t taste a hint of peach. It felt like drinking straight apple cider vinegar 🥴. Belgian-Style Tripel with Honey: 4.5/5 No surprise this was a hit—Allagash is famous for its Belgian-style beers! It’s incredibly smooth with rich, layered flavors—total perfection 👌. Tart Summer Ale: 2/5 There was no fruity sweetness (which we expected from a "summer ale"), and it had a weird, off-putting aftertaste. A letdown for sure 😕. Kickabout Lager: 2.5/5 Just a plain, ordinary lager—tasted like your average "light beer" (no depth, no personality). Nothing special 🫤. White: 4/5 As Allagash’s signature brew, it lives up to the hype! Crisp, balanced, and exactly what you want from a go-to craft beer ✨. Tropical Lime IPA: 4.5/5 The biggest surprise of the day! The lime flavor wasn’t the artificial, overly sweet kind you often get in fruity IPAs, and there was no harsh bitterness—super refreshing 🍋. Maine Blueberry Ale: 2/5 We were excited for a taste of Maine’s famous blueberries… but there was zero blueberry flavor, and the beer itself was just "meh" 🫐❌. Coolship Red: 3/5 Another tart one (think milder apple cider vinegar) — smoother than Farm to Face, but still underwhelming. Wildly, it’s Allagash’s highest-rated beer on Untappd… we just don’t get it 🤷‍♀️. Final Thoughts Stick to the Belgian-style beers—they’re foolproof! If you love cider-like flavors, they also have plenty of fruity options worth trying. Flight Details: Small taster glasses are only $3 each—super budget-friendly for sampling! Food Note: The food options are super limited—only one food truck outside, serving boring pretzels and basic sandwiches 🥪. Don’t come here hungry! #Maine #AmericanCraftBrewery #AcadiaNationalPark #PortlandMaine #BeerLovers #AllagashBrewing #CraftBeerTour
