Fogtown Brewing Company

$$ Fodor's Choice

Though tucked back on a residential street, folks find Fogtown and its slew of beers (made with Maine-grown hops, grains, and malts) and locally sourced brewpub menu. On the lower level of an old brick warehouse, the tasting room nestles between the brewery and a big, inviting beer garden; warming things up in cool weather are space heaters, firepits, and a brick wood-fired oven that cooks up pizzas with seasonal toppings and chili-crisp shishito peppers. The 15 tap lines at the Ellsworth brewpub flow with the four flagship beers and experimental and seasonal brews as well as Fogtown-made wines and hard ciders. There's also a location in Bar Harbor.
