Heading to Portland, Maine to see my daughter. Besides Bissell Bros. what else is good up there?
Man oh man, lucky you.
That is my favorite town to eat and drink in.
Yes, Bissell for sure.
Also head out to their old location at Industrial Way, and blammo,
you have a brewery crawl- all within stumbling distance:
Battery Steele
Foundation
Austin Street
Definitive
Allagash
Beer stores:
Bier Cellar and Bow Street Beverage both on Forest Ave-
Excellent selection of local stuffs.
Also there is a place out near Bissell that you can order from in advance and schedule pick up when you get out there.
You basically follow their IG and order from their website. I'm blanking on their name right now.
Beer bar:
Novare Res Bier Cafe- amazing selection and cool vibe.
Not sure what they are doing, but they should have some outdoor seating.
Also the tap selection anywhere in town is going to be amazing.
This is not at all a definitive list, but it's my go-to.
The beer culture is strong yo.
