3 Best Day Trips from Portland, Maine: Ogunquit, Freeport, and the Kennebunks | Condé Nast Traveler

"With a notably strong craft cocktail game, Batson River brings in plenty of people for drinks made with its own spirits, like the "Whatsa Matcha," made with the house's Riparian Gin, matcha, and honey. Or the Rhubarb Sour, a mix of lemon, rhubarb, and Batson's Langsford Road Whiskey. That said, the beers here have their own fan club; a rotating list of about ten IPAs, pilsners, and ales are sampled from with gusto (and no shortage of analysis and discussion) by regulars and beer tourists alike. The food menu is its own delicious reason to come. Fried chicken comes with delectable duckfat cornbread and jalapeño and jicama ginger slaw. It's the perfect foil to any of the soothing ales." - Alexandra Hall
