Worth the trip down here. Nice blend of pub and bistro. Lots of cask & kegs, take away beers also an option. Did not eat, but food looked good.

Small. spartan setting, but decent and well rounded selection of taps. Near plenty of other places downtown, so location id great. surprisingly kind of quiet on a friday night.

Stopped in on the way out of town. Packed to the gills, regional and international beers. Tap room on the side, for more sampling. Very well curated selection.

One of Portland’s best. Small, well curated selection. Nothing bad here. Nice low key vibe.. A lot less crowded than I would expect on a Thursday.

Did this place live up to it's reputation? Yes, and surpassed it. Situated on a golf course, about an 1 1/2 hours north out of Portland. Looks like a nice country inn from the outside, inside carries more of that vibe, as well as a cozy little bar straight out of a British pub. Taplist carries a wide variety of Belgian styles, as well a smattering of local craft beers. The cooler case is behind the bar, but I was welcomed to come around the bar and look through it. That's where the good stuff is, although I believe there's a private basement bar with the very best stuff. Service was prompt and friendly. The owner saw my Rate beer shirt and gave me a dusty bottle from the basement, a1997 Chimay Bleu. Just an amazing place, I spent much more time there than I had planned, soaking up the atmosphere. I can check this off of my bucket list. 5 stars.

Walked by a few times, before locating it. Down some stairs off street level, quiet, then opens to bustling, cozy atmosphere. Indian small plates. Really good. Ice selection of craft beers too. All poured in halfs.

Fairly modern interior, but cozy too. Mix of bar, high tables and booths. Excellent variety and selection. Way too much to choose from.....

Wonderful shop hidden away in Arlon. Stacked floor to ceiling with stellar beers from all over, with a focus on Belgians (of course!). Helpful service. Knocked several beers off of my must-have list. This place is a "must go" if you’re in the area.
