Flight Deck Brewing

This brewery is quite amazing. The brews on tap have great flavor and variety. The adjacent wood oven pizzas are very good and priced well. The property itself has ample seating, indoor and outdoor and small heated huts. There also is a big screen TV and outdoor games. Honestly, this place does it right across the board. If there's only one thing to critique, it was the lack of a tasting flight; you can order 6oz "samples" for $6, otherwise a full pour starts around $9. Highly recommend.

Really glad we randomly stopped in to try a beer here. Flight themed brewery sandwiched between and airport and an airplane museum 😄 tons of seating options including outside in little heated huts! We tried Wings and P-3. Both were delicious. The flying dirty pizza was also great. I'd definitely stop back in if in the area. Sunset outside with a beer was really nice 💛

A super cool brewery tucked into Brunswick. Fantastic history and beers to match! This is a must visit on any brew bucket list. Some of the best customer service we’ve had in a Maine brewery. We will be back! Kid friendly and dog friendly as well.

The flight deck, which was originally the Marine shooting gallery for the former base there is a super cute space. It has a lot of indoor/outdoor options, including space heaters for all of the outside areas. They even have mini covered picnic tables with heating, etc. You order food at a kiosk and beer from an attendant in the main bar area. The portion sizes for the pizza are filling. The salads are also tasty. They have a great beer selection with their stuff on tap and a few can options like the amazing sour I drank today. Dogs are welcome on leash in ALL areas, as long as they’re well-behaved. A great use / name for part of the former base! My father-in-law was stationed here and met his wife of nearly 55 years at the base ❤️ , which warmed my heart to see their “buy a Vet a beer” option that allows you to buy a beer now for a Vet later!! Worth a stop in if you are passing through or local!

I cannot attest to the beer quality, as I am more of a cider fan myself, and appreciate finding a local cider on tap! Brick oven pizza totally nailed, perfect crust and scrumptious flavor choices. Highly recommend.

Delightful. Great for friends, couples, families. Such a fun, unique venue. Mere point oysters pop up was great. Pizza looked delicious. Beers were excellent 👌🏽

Vegan & GF review 8/14/25- I did a make your own pizza with gf crust, vegan cheese, mushrooms and the garlic oil base instead of red sauce. I will say the garlic was way too strong so I couldn’t taste anything else. I’d recommend sticking with red sauce here lol. In the past I’ve had red sauce instead and the pizzas are 🔥🔥that’s why I’m still giving it a 5 star rating. This place was packed when we arrived at 6:30. They have lots of seating and the environment there is great with kids playing and happy dogs. We knew ahead of time that we’d have to wait about 40 mins for our pizza as expected since it was so busy. Worth the wait and it would be fun to bring some games to play while waiting.

Great brewery with a good selection of pizza for dinner. I really like the location. Well worth the time.

Despite having visited Flight Deck during their first year in operation in 2017 I never have wrote a review. They have come a long way and look different in 2025 while still having a good amount of charm and uniqueness it had back then. As you could imagine by the name and the fact they opened in a former Naval Air Station they go heavy on the plane theme. Beer names especially and they offer a good variety of beer styles and have non-beer options for those not interested as well. I have enjoyed every visit including my many visits over the years here. The best time to visit is during the summer or at least nicer weather to fully enjoy their outside space. Arguably the best addition since their opening has been their food program. Think wood fire pizza and some other non-pizza offerings. My wife and I have had their pizza in the past and very much enjoyed it. This time though my wife got their Italian on Focaccia and I got one of their Chicken Bacon Ceasar sandwiches. Instead of typical bread it used a folded pizza dough and both our dishes tasted phenomenal. If you visit trying their food is a must, do not skip on it! Beer wise today we sampled four beers new to us. I got Wings their NEIPA & Vuelo Nocturno Mexican Lager while my wife got their Plane Beer American Lager and the Krösswind Kölsch. We enjoyed all four of them and we were glad to have found so many on tap we had yet to try! Flight Deck may not be an immediate thought when you think of Maine Breweries but they deserve recognition. Offering a well rounded variety of beers and other drinks along with some great food in a unique inviting space! Add it to your brewery bucket list!

We've visited Flight Deck Brewing a few times now and it has quickly become one of our favorite places. There are so many seating options inside and outside, and the outdoor space is especially great. They have covered areas that keep you comfortable in rainy or cold weather, and there are always fun activities happening outside. The beer is consistently good. We haven't tried one we didn't enjoy. The pizza and sandwiches are also really solid and perfect for grabbing a quick lunch. The service is always fantastic. Every person behind the bar has been friendly and welcoming each time we've visited. One of the things we appreciate most is that they allow dogs inside. Our puppy loved relaxing while we enjoyed our food and drinks, which makes it such an easy spot for dog owners. The location on a former military base adds a really unique atmosphere, and they do a great job leaning into that theme with thoughtful details throughout. Overall, it's a great place with great beer, great people, and an inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend. Cheers!

Fun and sun is the time to visit. Fantastic craft beers, and wine. Draws plenty of a crowd, and it's easy placing your beverage and food order.

My daughter was home from grad school for the holidays so I took her here to have a drink to celebrate since we both love their products. I must say I removed a star from my previous review because of the peculiar "cleaning" going on during the height of service. Patrons enter through the brewing area which is generally cool to look at, but this time they were washing down the equipment. I understand that sanitation is important but it made the whole establishment very humid with a smell similar to a janitors mop bucket. Additionally, since the floors are concrete, the water ran out into the main seating area. Not sure why this business would do this while the place was busy with customers. The people seated at tables near us made similar comments as they had to trudge through standing water as well. I hope this was a one off experience because it certainly distracted from their otherwise excellent brews.

Only my second time at The Flight Deck and it was wonderful again! I came in with 4 other people around 4:00pm on Sunday 3/16/25. We all ordered our own beers and the 2 people pouring were great! I was having a hard time deciding which IPA to get - they have 4! And the person helping me was knowledgeable and very helpful. A few of us wanted merch and the person was so kind and patient while we tried a couple things on, asked about other things and kept them from taking orders. We were hurrying, but we never felt rushed. Beer is great, atmosphere is awesome. Small space but so light and bright! Highly recommend!

Stopped in, because I noticed all the people coming and going. Neat concept for a brewery, and a fun place to hang out. Seems that a lot of people were stopping here on a Friday night after work, getting together with friends and coworkers. Actually, there were planes parked at nearby hangars. Beer was good and refreshing, but the food menu was pretty limited, mainly serving pizzas with some additional bar snacks. Got the broccomole dip with chips. Also, there was entertainment that night, a singer and guitar accompaniment, playing oldies.

We needed a spot to stop in on our trek towards Acadia. I saw that Flight Deck had good ratings and we decided to stop in. The location is right near an airport so very on theme with Top Gun vibes. I was a big fan of the fact that you could pay for a veteran's beer. My friend and I are both daugthers of veterans so this was a sweet thing to see. They did not do beer flights (missed opportunity lol). However, they had an option to do half pours. As an indecisive beer drinker, I chose to do two half pours. We walked up to the counter and sampled a few beers before placing our order. The service was very friendly and they answered all our questions. We sat inside to begin with as it was raining, but our party of 5 felt a little cramped so we decided to move outside. There were these cute little huts that had a covering, lights, and a heater over a picnic table. These were perfect for our group to drink and play games. We hung out here for a few hours and had a blast!

Flight deck is a special place offering great beer options, friendly & smiling staff and an enjoyable vibe. Parking is never a problem and there's tons of outdoor seating. Yesterday, there was live music as well as an 'adopt a puppy' event with staff on site from the local animal shelter. The BBQ food truck (Rollin Smoke) and Flight Deck pizza kitchen were abuzz with hungry patrons. Families were enjoying the corn hole games. Flight Deck is located on the former Naval Air Station's firing range. It is across the street from a local NAS museum. Great place for military buffs. This place checks all the boxes if you want to get out into the community.

Love the ambiance! Great wood fired pizza! Great beers! Great service! Wish we lived closer I'd be a regular for sure!

Unique atmosphere! Friendly staff! Stopped by for a beer and was in between meals...did not eat but the pizza smelled amazing!

Beer & Pizza....what more could you want? Flight Deck Brewing wood fired pizzas. Dog friendly place. This is in a separate covered area but pizzas can be eaten throughout. Inside brewery, outside, to go. You will receive a text when ready. They now have an estimated wait time color coding chart. Gluten free crust option. Breadstick pizza was my fave. If you have an electric car they have two free charging stations.

We ordered a bunch of pizza's, all at different times. The dough is very good. I feel the toppings could be more generous. To pay $23 for a pizza and have about 5-6 slices of pepperoni on it is a bit under generous. I would have liked a little more as far as all toppings. Sauce, cheese and veggies and or meats. The service is self serve and that's fine but all the more reason to add more toppings to the delicious dough. Thanks!

This is a family and group friendly brewery that serves up year round round. One of many converted spaces on the old Brunswick naval air station Order your beer at the main bar. Lots of choices, most very good, informed and friendly servers, and tastes available. They brew right on site, and you walk thru the brewing area when you enter. You can take your beer to an inside table, or head outside to their awesome space. Picnic tables with heaters, covered tables, and a kids area for playtime, fenced. Lots of room! Better yet, you can go across the 20 ft walkway and order your oven-fired pizza. Then choose your spot inside or out to enjoy both beer and pizza! Mixed crowd, younger folks and families, great vibe, prompt and friendly service, excellent wood fired pizzas, not too expensive. Special events and the occasional band! And,you can buy a beer for a vet and they can claim it whenever. Check it out. It's a locals favorite.

** I'm writing this quickly as not to allow this food and bev experience to grow any bigger in my brain, I figure, it I release it now, it'll be on it's merry way and far away from me. Early pleasantries morphed into the real them after I just wanted a menu to hold - not getting the app QSR code nor going into a secret room I couldn't see across campus where they had a paper menu. So they're holding my card upfront (real POS, swipe and return to customer) so I couldn't order a pizza in the back without my card, so back I went to retrieve and close out there - and back across campus again because "it's the Point of Sale Systems fault" here's an idea, figure it out. Flight Decks front and back of the house are where the nobody's roam and feel like they are somebody's, but as night closes in and the registers aren't ringing the new visitors jingle, it's a subtle hint, then they (those behind the wood) well, their faces turn down - take that sourpuss along with you. I'm mid chew, all I wanted to do was just leave as the chuckle patch did what chuckle patches do - but out of a small circular port of call window before they figured out that opening the door would be better for their visual stupidity - for me that is. This is an important point because the unfriendliness never heeded way to giving me any feeling of being welcome - my business appreciation never was a thought. So it really doesn't matter much about the food, does it?

I love coming to flight deck -- a down-to-earth brewery on an airfield with plentiful outdoor seating (heat lamps in winter!) and rotating food truck offerings is basically my idea of perfection. I just love the ambiance of the place, it's all nice service and families and dogs and planes. Even better is the food is actually above average -- their pizzas are legitimately good (as a New Yorker I say this) and the BBQ truck that comes on weekends is generous and tasty. But most importantly: the beer. So, funny enough, Flight Deck seems to focus on IPAs and pale ales and sours, which are the three types of beers I'm least fond of. I'm always scanning their menu for a port or pilsner and there's usually at least ONE thing I'll enjoy on tap. Recently they had a pleasant Czech-style Pilsner id totally get again, and I always enjoy their Little Grey Corvette grisette. All of this to say, I'm usually more excited to be here than I am to drink their beer but that's fully a -me- problem. And I mean I keep coming back each time anyhow so maybe it's not a problem at all.

Awesome brewery that was on an unexpected route. Come see this place, right on the flight line in a "hangar "! The beers are phenomenal and the staff is super cool. They support veterans, and if you feel generous you can buy a brew for one!

Easy access and great ambiance! Beers and pizza were tasty. We got a flight of beer and enjoyed the brisk cool weather of Maine. They have cornhole and some other games for you to enjoy, as well a tv inside mounted on the wall which had college football on it. Would go back in a heartbeat!

The beer. The atmosphere. The location. Now they add in a beautiful copper wood firing rig for PIZZA?! Oh my lanta!!! We ordered the "Flying Dirty" which by looks is just a "standard" 'roni pie. But....it's far from standard. This is the best thing since sliced bread. Every piece of this pie is locally sourced. Plus?! IT HAS HONEY ON IT!!! Honey! On PIZZA!!!! I'm so here for it. YUM.

Great atmosphere! One of my favorite breweries I have visited. The pizza and the house salad were great, fresh, and flavorful.

WOW! Flight Deck sure is an awesome brewery! Hubby found it and surprised me with a really cool find. I thought the concept was unique and they truly went all out with the flight theme. From flight gear decor and Top Gun references to propeller taps and clever brew names. And let's not forget maybe the coolest detail, Flight Deck is located in the former Small Arms Firing Range on the re-developed Brunswick Naval Air Station (now Brunswick Landing). I absolutely loved it! On to the beer! I enjoyed 2 flights (when in Rome) during our time here. The strawberry IPA was delicious! The dark Mexican lager and English style Porter were also on top for me. Hubby enjoyed the grisette and the white ale. The outdoor seating was awesome! Patio picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, fire pits, heated huts, covered pavilion just to name a few. Hubby and I sat in Adirondack chairs and watched the sunset. It was a wonderful night with perfect weather, beer and company!

I think my picture below says it all....so yummy! It's called "The Flying Dirty". Pepperoni, parm and honey! Incredible.

This is a great out of the way hang out spot. When you enter you walk past the tanks of beer that are brewed on site. It sets the right tone along with the building that looks like an empty airplane hanger. There is a tent outside of the bar, perfect for a pre-wedding family party or a birthday party. This back area has picnic tables and bags games. They better make more beer because they ran out at 8:00. They could definitely sell more if they can make more. Overall, a fun place to have a locally made beer.

If you have kids you should come here. If you do not have kids and don't want to feel like you've been teleported to the inside of a bouncy castle on a 10-year old's birthday, you should not come here. The beer is pretty good, the pizza is pretty good (both better at Foundation imo), but holy moly, it's insanity here. It's not hard to understand why, lots of younger families have moved to the area, parents want beer, kids want pizza. All well and good, but we're talking like whole little league teams and there is usually ZERO supervision. That should not have to fall on the staff, but nonetheless, I went with my elderly parents and they were almost knocked over several times by kids running through the tap room for the entire time we were. Again, if you have kids and like letting them run free at breweries while you drink, this is definitely your place.

My wife and I were on a week long road trip along the coast of Maine and after we checked into our hotel, we walked over to this nearby brewery. We wondered why it was called "Flight Deck", but it turns out it was nearby an executive airport. All of their beers were named after a flight team. The line was very long to get a beer, or else it would have been 5 stars. I took my two IPAs (I ordered 2, since the wait was so long) We sat outside and talked to some of the people around us on the outside picnic tables. They have a third vendor that made pizzas in their cool oven that looked really good. Worth a couple of beers if you are nearby.

Flight deck brewing is the best place to go for great pizza and amazing beers. Indoors or outdoors plus trivia on Thursday's leaves something for everyone.

Got there just as it opened and enjoyed the chill atmosphere -- a good number of people trickled in, but there's tons of space inside (open doors/walls) and outside (including a tented area for shade). Decor is on the nose without being kitschy, and overall it's just a cool space with a good vibe. We started with a flight to see what we wanted and had a tough choice picking which ones to go with for a full pour! We ended up picking the V Formation (white ale) and Sea Bee (blueberry Belgian blonde).

Flight Deck Brewing is a wonderful addition to Brunswick and it's location is perfect in my opinion. When the base closed, there were many concerns that the base would remain lifeless and empty...Flight Deck to the rescue!!! This review rating is for the average of my entire experience - rounded up to 5 stars. Staff - whether you interact with the staff here or at any of the Maine brewfests they may be attending, they are down to earth, educated in the beer making process and just nice fun people. Very welcoming an appreciative of people stopping to enjoy the beer and their company. Location - as I have stated, it's perfect. Plenty of parking, very easy to find. And I LOVE how they preserved the Navy History. It means so much to me and my family, that their identity will be forever tied to BNAS. Atmosphere - FUN and casual - for all ages. It's a place to socialize, go on a date, go there for mini reunions, go there to play games...all the while enjoying delicious beers. They have plenty of games for you to chose from while you are there, even in the winter. In the summer, they open up the big garage doors and it opens up the the fun patio with corn hole and picnic tables. They do also put up tents for the really sunny days as well. Food -there is a food truck attached is a yummy pub menu. The poutine and burgers were delicious The beer - it's good. It's unique in some cases. They do not lack flavor that's for sure. With that being said, some of the more floral flavors are really strong and may not be for everyone. I loved the Stout and this is Not Your Captain Speaking. They had a collab beer they did with Black Pug and it was decent as well. I love the blueberry beer that's associated with the blue angels. It's not sweet like some other local beers. It's delicious. They usually have a dozen beers on tap for tasting they also have cooler where you can purchase beer to go. They have awesome swag for purchase as well. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area, doing a beer or history tour.

Great selection of brews. Pizza was good but despite the fancy names they were pretty basic ingredients.

This was a great stop on the trip! Really good beers and delicious food! The 2 guys working there were awesome as well!

Amazing atmosphere! We brought our friends here who were visiting from the Bay Area, and who also work at a brewery! They were super impressed with the vibe of the venue and really appreciated the friendly staff. We ordered a couple pizzas which were genuinely super good. We also were able to bring our two dogs along, which was also great. Highly recommend :)

Atmosphere is great.. Food is limited.. We wanted BBQ however the event they had during the day consumed most of it.. Must have been good.. We will definitely be back..

Their recent addition to DoorDash for their pizzas is a pleasant surprise. Their Pizza may be a little small for the price, but I'm not ordering things on DoorDash for the price. I order on DoorDash for the convenience and for the flavors I am looking for.

Pizza was good but overpriced. Customer service is less than ok. It's close to us but not our go to place. The first time we came here, we left without ordering anything as it stunk. They do make their own beer here but it's dirty. The pizza gets made in the building across the way. I don't see the high rating.

Very happy to update my review to 5 stars. In the years since I wrote the original, the beer has gotten much better. We had a great time today. Beer was good, pizza was good, bar staff was helpful. The pizza truck didn't have any cutlery available, which was a problem because we were with little kids who need their pizza cut, but I reached out via FB messenger to give them some feedback and they said they'd fix it so hopefully that happens. Very family friendly place. Will definitely be back.

This place has most fantastic sunsets streaming through the large windows (which roll open in the summer). Had great pre-Super Bowl wood fired pizzas and hand crafted beer and cider. The "Light The Fires" beer has a soft spicy bite and the cider was perfect for a seasonally warm February Sunday afternoon. Great music playing in the background. Very relaxing! Service was awesome at the taps and the pizza area!

Super fun brewery. Excellent lay out and concept. Great atmosphere. Great beers and ciders!

First, my husband was a P-3 pilot for 26 years...so this place warms our hearts. He even found a friend's flight suit on the wall :) Second, we absolutely loved the logo (P-3) and all the nods to Naval Aviation & antisubmarine warfare. Third, the beer & pizza are really good. Authentic wood-fired in "Hangar 18". The atmosphere is really fun, open air or inside options, games & small dining huts...our weather wasn't great, but I imagine on a sunny afternoon this is a terrific family place!

Nestled back in the old military base, with old military aircraft scattered about, you'll find the gem known A's Flight Deck Brewing. These guys are one of my top five personal favorite breweries in the state. They have a good selection of beers on tap as well as canned from ales to IPAs to darks. They also have a food truck onsite that has some amazing food and a ton of indoor and outdoor seating. Given the current pandemic, they also sell some cool 'Maine specific' mask! If you don't want to venture out, they have you covered there too. They offer delivery within the area when you order online (minimum required, but well worth it given how tasty the stuff is).

I wish we would have found this brewery sooner than we did while on vacation. Out of the breweries we visited, this was easily one of my favorites. First of all - I absolutely loved the theme. What a way to take what is there and run with it. We visited on a Thursday night and each had a flight. I liked all 4 beers that I had. All the beers had names that went with the flight theme. I really enjoyed the sour that I had. When we went back on Friday night, I ordered a pint of just the sour - it was that good! Both days we were there, it was raining so we didn't get to check out the outdoor space but it looked amazing! I would definitely spend more time here if I was in the area. They had a food truck on Friday night that my friend got some chips and guac from. She said it was delicious. There seemed to always be something going on at the brewery. We played trivia Thursday night and there was to be live music on Friday night (although we didn't stay for that). Great beer. Great space. I would definitely stop in again if I was in the area.

Great hometown brewery with lots of varieties of beer including for sale to take or drink right at the deck. We love the pilsners and seasonal beers. Wood fired pizza available outdoors, too.

Great craft beers with yummy pizza selections. Variety of seating - hi-tops, tables, inside/outside and covered pods. It's a must see. Try it, you'll like it.

Ample space, open air, covered spots to sit at the main bar--reserve yourself what looks to be a 4-seat picnic table that is covered should the weather turn. Pizza is available and delicious. The beer selection is outstanding always with a legendary lineup that friends tell me only gets better as the seasons progress. Family friendly but also a place to bring your business partner to chat about opportunities or some old friends to catch up. Whatever you are doing, do whatever you want, just order yourself some beers, order a pizza and let 'er fly bud!

Good environment, decent brew. Bearded prick cashier (no wait staff) is the only reason we'd never come back. EVER.

Pretty great place and a nice way to bring life to the NAS. Grab a beer, a snack from the food truck and then check out the P-3 sitting across the street. A nice outdoor sitting area including sun and shaded spots. And, it's dog friendly! I enjoyed the selection of beer and they have some very cool items for sale.

Maine is not short for breweries, but this was one of the favorites we stopped at on our trip up the coast. The beers we tried were all good, but the atmosphere and venue and are really what make it stand out. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, along with a pizza food truck people were raving about. The aviation theme was all pretty cool without being too kitschy. If I lived in the area, it would be a regular hang. Only downside was there were a ton of mosquitoes outside where we sat and got eaten up pretty good, so bring bug spray!

One of their really friendly staff members will greet you and ask what you'd like with a smile. They'll talk beer as much as you want or don't want. I was here on a Thursday at lunchtime so it wasn't crazy busy, but I bet this place is fun on a weekend evening. Their outdoor space is awesome and the overhead doors provide lots of ventilation and light. Try the Callsign Cactus for an interesting spin on an IPA. The Wings NE IPA is excellent.

We stopped here on a very busy trivia night. We were passing through and simply wanted a pizza to go. First visit but pizza highly recommended by close friend. Worked our way through the crowd and found the spot to order. The gentleman taking our order could not have been nicer. Explained their process and how they source local Maine ingredients. Wood fired pizza in minutes due to high oven temperature. We ended eating the whole pizza in our car. Outstanding in every way. We will definitely return in the future.

They had a great selection of beers. Most breweries in Maine I feel have 8 different selections of IPA's or other hoppy beers. Flight deck offered a really nice dark Mexican lager and Czech lager for us non IPA fans. very family friendly and the bartenders we had were awesome. Their wood fire pizza is pretty damn good, second favorite. Check out the wings at the BBQ food truck. Brined in pickle then smoked, deep fried just before serving.

Great spot! Decent beer, cool merch, wood fired pizza!! Toots ice cream and dog friendly. Fun crowd for a Saturday afternoon. We will be back!!
