Celebrate American Craft Beer Week with Woofstock Breweries!
It’s American Craft Beer Week and we’re here to remind you that Woofstock is a great opportunity to try some of Maine’s best craft beers!
Whether you are into IPAs, lagers, ciders or seltzers – Woofstock has something to offer almost any palette! There is even a dedicated gluten-free brewery in the lineup with Lucky Pigeon from Biddeford!
Blaze Brewing Co. has been a part of Woofstock since its first year and we are always thrilled to have them return! They have been a wonderful and generous partner to us over the years.
Other returning breweries for Woofstock 2025 include:
- Allagash Brewing Company
- Banded Brewing Co.
- Bissell Brothers Brewing
- Brickyard Hollow Brewing Company
We’re also excited to welcome a couple of new (to Woofstock) breweries to the lineup as well! The birthplace of Shipyard, Kennebunkport Brewing Co. joins, as well as Nonesuch River Brewing.
For those who are looking for something different than beer, we have After Harvest Cider Co and Apres Selzter returning to offer their crisp and refreshing beverages! Yum!
Our Development Coordinator Sarah, who is also organizing the Beer Garden at Woofstock this year, shares more about her favorite brews!
While I’m a huge fan of all the beverage companies joining us for the Woofstock festivities this year, I am personally partial to three of our current lineup offerings. They each hold a special place in my heart and offer an amazing product along with an unforgettable experience when having the privilege to visit their locations/tasting rooms.
While we all know and love Allagash White, a trip to their tasting room will quickly open your eyes up to the wide array and variety of different beer types and brewing methods they offer and excel at – they’ve even recently begun offering a delicious cider (both on tap and now available in cans to-go) as well as having a rotating fruit wine on tap, I most recently had their blueberry wine and wow, it hit all of the right spots!
Banded Brewing is physically close to home and offers such a fun, laid back atmosphere in addition to all their libation offerings (they’ve recently added some cocktails to their menu) and delicious kitchen menu. And, this Spring, they’ve begun offering a Sunday brunch! I highly recommend trying a Sparkle Charms if you happen to stop in for a visit, it’s a combination of their Charms & Hexes sour beer mixed with prosecco – a fun, fruity and refreshing take on a true beer-mosa.
And last, but certainly not least, is Bissell Brothers Brewing – not only do they have some of the most aesthetically pleasing branding, but they also make some killer beers. Even though, they broke my heart last year closing their Milo Three Rivers location, I still love and support them and their product! I will miss all of the fun bottled beers they brewed up there but they are still pumping out plenty of awesome beers, hop water and now seltzers in Portland.
Thank you Sarah for celebrating American Craft Beer Week with these great suggestions! To learn more about the Woofstock Beer Garden, check out our website:
