Rising Tide Brewing Company

9 Best Breweries in Portland, Maine | Condé Nast Traveler

"After spending years laying down a solid foundation and building its fanbase with beers like its Maine Island Trail Ale, Rising Tide has a robust barrel aging program turning out complex beers available in limited batches at the brewery. While the brews are smartly crafted, this feels like a place that embraces the idea that beer should be fun. If it's not 17 degrees outside, the picnic tables that fill the parking lot will be occupied by Portlanders shoulder to shoulder enjoying golden beers and games, many of them with dogs happily laying by their side." - Noah Kaufman
