Fodor's Expert Review Fogtown Brewing Company

Though tucked back on an Ellsworth residential street, folks find this hip brewpub—yes, the brewery is right here—with a large, inviting beer garden, housed on the lower level of an old brick warehouse. The simple menu includes hotdogs and bratwurst, and pizza cooked in the outdoor oven. Space heaters and a few firepits keep things warm into the cooler weather in the beer garden. Fogtown has a location in Bar Harbor, too (also open year-round, aside from occasional off-season closings).
