Norway Brewing Company

Great atmosphere and friendly service. The staff were great with our dog. Food was very good. The menu had a Mediterranean/Americana vibe. We ordered almost the entire app menu and enjoyed a night out with a few kids from the Hebron Academy girls varsity ice hockey team. Thank you for a great experience! We will be back!

Come for the beer (which is good) stay for the food (which is outstanding). Is the service slow? A little, but super friendly. The vibe is chill and relaxed. We had a very nice time and reasonably priced (by 2025 standards anyway).

Owners were great to talk to and so were the local regulars. Beer was awesome and the burger was good to. Can't recommend this place enough if you are in the area.

Used to be my favorite place, not anymore. Food was great, our server was great, but the owner yelled at the server in front then had all employees come to dining area for a “staff meeting” with in inches of us. We hadn’t ordered yet and had to wait for his extremely loud meeting to end before we could order. We couldn’t talk to each other because he was so loud. We’ve been probably 4 or 5 times in the last month, but probably will not go again.

Have nothing bad to say, I had a wonderful experience tonight, Wednesday 06/25. Had my choice of tables inside as most were sitting outside. I haven't been here in years and I enjoyed seeing the changes and growth in the brewing company. They have something for everyone. My party split appetizers and it was more than enough for the table to share. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and polite. The establishment was dimly lit and the music was relaxing. I enjoyed seeing the list of sponsors and where their items come from. They have vegetarian options as well as vegan, and burgers for those who would like meat. They even have a "happy hour special" for 5$! It includes a pint of beer that is changed weekly and a small size of fries!! Child friendly options and drinks, vegan friendly, and vegetarian friendly. They had hard spirits, beer, wine, and non alcohol options for those who want it. Their Pickle Weisse was amazing and beautifully done. They had small taster portions, pints, cans and growers of select beer. I really enjoy their use of local items in their drinks too such as ginger and lemongrass. They have ample parking, and are handicap accessible.

Arrived before noon for lunch. The sign said to seat yourself which we did. After 10 minutes I asked the staff if we were seated okay since no one even acknowledged us. The waiter said he would be out but never came. I went back inside to ask for menus. He handed them to me and 10 minutes later brought water and left. He never came back to get our order. No drink or food order taken. After 30 minutes of waiting we left. I honestly have never had that happen at a restaurant before.

Great beer in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. They also have a decent food menu. Norway Brewing is definitely worth seeking out if your travels bring you to the Oxford/Norway area.

Service, atmosphere and food were all stellar. Was fortunate to chat with one of the owners as we were in his section for the day. Very polite, attentive and personable. As for the food; I ordered the falafel special and it was spectacular. The pita was soft, the falafel tender and the fixings along with it made for a well rounded lunch. That, accompanied by tender and crispy fries, as well as a delicious Czech Pilsner, has me looking forward to driving through Norway Maine in search of food! :)

Been driving by here for years , always busy in the summer. I got take out without any alcohol. It was 6:45 pm Friday . My guest and I ordered the same things , beer onion Soup and brewers burger. I'm not a beer drinker. So I'll start with the soup , I got it to go so they put the cheese in the soup. It was not cheddar and it didn't melt. What ever cheese they used , a hard cheese over powered the soup and took over the flavor. It came with crostini on the side but didn't eat it as there was no cheese to top it . The burger was supposed to be local beef and cooked medium . It was not medium . It was the most dry flavorless burger I've ever had . It was supposed to have malt aioli . I didn't taste it . The lettuce was bad. Fries were soft not double fried. No to go menus . I have to say the prices were pretty high especially for the quality we got . This food left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be back. Might be a good place just to grab a beer .

My fiancé and I stopped in to grab a bite while we were in the area, we did takeout so we could sit by the lake. We ordered the Chicken Parm sandwich, the Brewer's Burger w/ Cheddar, the Caesar Fried Brussels, & the loaded mac and cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious. This is one of those restaurants that is worth every penny spent. The bartender was kind enough to give my fiancé a few beer samples while he waited for the takeout. Chicken was crispy, burger was cooked perfectly, nothing was too salty or under seasoned. Every single thing we ate was 10/10. Perfect food and it looks beautiful even in a takeout box. I am very excited to come back here, thank you Norway Brewing!!!

Amazing beer, fun different styles and taste! Plus the fried mushrooms!! *chefs kiss*

The beer was good and the scene was awesome, nice locals vibe going on. The food was better than expected, everything we ordered was super good. The only thing odd is the set up. We walked in through the door in the parking lot and walked into the bar area. We didn't know if there was more to the inside, or what the scene was outside. The bartender goes "do you want to sit inside or outside" I was a little confused at to where to sit so I replied, "not sure, we just got here" She just looks at me and goes "I know." Like, seriously?

After a long wait for our food we were very disappointed. The food was okay but very overpriced for what it was. The waitress was more interested in taking care of regulars than waiting on us. Watched the bar tender test a drink with a straw and then put the end of the straw that had been in his mouth in another drink to test.

Quick and easy place for good brew food and the prices are great especially for the amount of food you get! I left stuffed and super happy. My server Thomas was awesome and attentive. I'll be back! Very fun ambiance.

Well, I need to be absolutely upfront and honest as I review Norway Brewery. I am not a "beer" guy, so I really can't give a knowledgeable review based on beer. The next question I'm sure is on your mind, is why a brewery? Well, I have family that are heavily invested in the brewery scene, so that's where I go. I did order a flight which really is a deal at $12 for 6, four ounce pours. I also promptly provided extra beverages for my family, who really didn't mind. The one beer I did enjoy was Ghost in the Stairs. It is a Saison style beer which I am told is a pale ale that is highly carbonated, fruity and spicy. Go figure! We were a party of 10 and were seated in the outside type area with a heater above our heads. I was comfortable with my winter clothing on, however my wife was cold from the was down as was my niece. The menu was a bit limited with only a several choices. I think between everyone in my party we ordered one of everything on the menu. I had the chicken fingers and fries and they were both delicious. My wife picked up the chicken wrap and "gobbled" it up. The service was excellent. One of our sandwiches was made with a bun and my nephew had ordered it on a wrap, which prompted the manager visiting us telling how sorry he was with the mixup and that he would take the sandwich off the bill. Now that is some customer service. So, if you are in the Norway area and want a brew and a bite to eat be sure to drop by Norway Brewery.

What a great little spot! I was so happy to find a place that still was serving stouts as many places stop during the summer months. We had an appetizer, a burger, & chicken & all were tasty. Their outdoor patio seating was nice & indoors was cozy. The servers/bar staff were great. Tusen takk for et fint besøk!

yes yes yes!!! all around yes! great staff!! will definitely be back. Nice cold drinks and fun atmosphere.

We had a really pleasant dinner with drinks at Norway. We did a sampler with 6 different beers; we really loved their stout, the rest were solid but we didn't really love any of the others. For dinner we got their smoked wings tossed in homemade hot sauce, the smoke strongly came through and was delicious, and their sauce was creamy and reasonably spicy. We also got homemade chicken tenders, which were also quite good, nice and crunchy and fresh. I regret not trying more of their homemade sauces after how good the hot sauce was. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend Norway Brewing for a dinner/drinks night.

Disclaimer: just came here for drinks and not food. I got a flight of the first six pours from the draft menu which was a good deal for $12 given the generous pours and the variety. The beers were all quite good especially the Farmhouse Ale. 4 rather than 5 stars given the ambiance, despite called a brewing company, the seating and ambiance felt more like a sit down dining place and there was no tap room/brewery/bar space to just hang out. Would not likely come back here just for drinks, but definitely would come back to have drinks and dinner!

It's a little out of the way, but worth the trip. Great outdoor seating and friendly staff. We went in the Brunch window and ordered the chicken tenders, the pulled pork sammie, the poutine, and finished with a donut. The kids had some sparking cider and the adults did the beer flight. Tenders were good...nothing crazy in the tender world. Light and flakey breading. Comes with fries, which are very tasty. Poutine was fantastic. I could use more gravy, but isn't that always the case? The sammie was a surprise standout. All the flavors really worked together. The donut (triple berry compote and custard) was a late add "if we had room." We did not, but we made room. Very tasty as a whole package. The creamy custart put it over the top. Beers were good! My wife liked the surfer IPA best, while I liked the Grumpy stout. We would definitely go again, and recommend it.

Great beer and awesome food! Fresh, cold, crisp beer with delicious, fresh spot on summer salad including mixed greens,cumcumber, and strawberries topped with feta cheese and an unbelievable blueberry dressing. She loved, loved, loved her perfectly cooked burger topped with aoli sauce. We both washed everything down with fresh tasting Farm Saisson. Perfect and highly recommended.

Ambiance: 9/10 Hometown support: 10/10 Beer selection: Idk bc I don't drink anymore but I'm guessing 9.5/10 Service: 10/10 Creativity: 9.5/10 So I give a 4 out of 5 for a couple reasons: 1) it was like 65° in the dining room. In July that's great, in January, it's less than desirable. 2) although the foods presentation and creativity were top notch, I think it just barely missed the mark as far as taste goes. The sauce selections/varieties were awesome but the flavor itself fell short. The fries were good, but half of the basket was the little crispy bottom of the bag stuff that is hard to pick up (came out super hot though!) Our chicken sandwiches were okay, but again, lacked the flavor that I felt the menu described. Not bad, just not something I want to rush back and get. We had a blast playing Cards Against Humanity and our service was awesome. If it was a bit warmer, we would have stayed longer and played another round. I bet in the summer the patio is where it's at, I would definitely come back again. *Oh yeah, Mac + Cheese was pretty good and HUGE servings.*

Nice find here in Maine! Great food, good beer, and a trendy atmosphere. We ordered the poutine (omg amazing) and crab cakes. Both were very good. A liiiiiittle too expensive, but nevertheless, tasted great! I can not remember the beers we ordered but mine was a Pilsner-type beer, that had lots of citrus flavors! Mmmm Hubby ordered a stout of some sort which was way too heavy for my taste but he loved it! Servers were also very nice and helpful! Thank you!!

The only bad thung I can say another Norway Brewing is I am often in the area on Monday and Tuesday when they are not open, so I miss the terrific beer and even more terrific food. Definitely worth the stop anytime you are hungry or thirsty in the Norway/Bethel area.

Went here for lunch and didn't realize they only had the brunch menu available. I can't remember the name of the sandwich I got but I recall it coming with an egg and ordered a side of home fries. The home fries were mehhh. I think they were trying to do something to make it special and put seasoning but it just made the fries taste sweet (almost like they were sweet potatoes), which I did not enjoy. The sand which itself was mediocre and seemed over priced considering how it tasted. I went with my mom who got veggie hash. It was good but nothing extraordinary. This place is pretty small (the indoor seating anyway) and doesn't have much space for large parties (larger than 5 unless you're okay with splitting up). It was super cold inside when I went. It was already cool outside (in the 50s) and it felt like the ac was being blasted with the fans all running. I couldn't even enjoy the food because I was so cold and it made the food go cold much faster. The service was also ok, nothing extra ordinary but nothing bad to say. Overall it just seemed overpriced for what it is. I'd be interested to see what their dinner menu looks like tho. The options seemed too limited.

I enjoyed the brown ale, my fiancé had the IPA's. Being from MA we didn't know about happy hour and were pleasantly surprised that my pint was only $5 and came with a side double-fried fries :-)

Such a gem of a spot! Norway Brewing is off the beaten path. If you're from the area, odds are you've heard about it. If you're from away, it's worth the trip! We wandered into Norway Brewing after spending the day exploring. We had heard only good things about the beer and the food, and needed to see for ourselves if it lived up to the hype. The establishment itself it's super cute and hip. It's decorated with light teal accents and tasteful decor that make you feel happy. As for food, their menu rocks, and we had a tough time choosing what to eat. We finally decided on a flight of beer and the pulled pork poutine. 10/5!!!! The fries were crispy, the gravy was homemade, the cheese curds were fresh, and the pulled pork was tangy. It was the perfect balance of all things holy. SUPER impressed with this dish. For me, the beer left something to be desired. I did like one of the beers I tried, but wasn't wow'd by them. However, do not let this deter you from visiting!! No two beer palates are the same. Also, they have ample decks of Uno on hand, which make any afternoon more fun. If you're in the area or on your way back south from a frosty ski excursion at Sunday River, stop in and warm up at Norway Brewing-- you'll leave happy! 4/5!

It's no lie, the Maine beer scene is huge and its becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Have no fear, Noway Brewing Company is a breath of fresh air from the albeit good, but decently common: warehouse styled, IPA heavy, Portland breweries. My girlfriend and I came in to quench the thirst midweek during a vacation on Sebago Lake. I was very impressed with the IPA and the the Oatmeal Stout. We also had the pulled pork poutine which was the bomb! A perfect sharing portion, with a friendly portion of pulled pork. Super cool interior with a fun patio (had it not been 96 outside) and extremely friendly and welcoming staff. I'd definitely recommend the drive from anywhere near!

Very nice brewery with good beer and good food. Stopped in and very much enjoyed the visit. We sat outside on a cool evening and enjoyed a flight and a meal. I had the chicken sandwich, which was ok. The poutine appetizer was pretty awesome! The beers were very good as well. In fact, I got a 4 pack and bottle of one of their limited releases to take with me. Overall a great place to stop. The only minor flaws I found were the limited indoor seating and the fact there aren't servers that take your order. You have to go up to a small host stand to order your food and beer. It's not much of an inconvenience, but worth noting. However unlikely that I'll be back here in this part of Maine again - I would definitely stop in if I am.

Norway Brewing is a great place to visit and a gem for the area. The outdoor patio is comfortable and cute with interesting lighting and live music. They craft very delicious dark beers (stouts and porters) with local coffee. The brunch menu changes weekly and always sounds delicious. That will be the next visit!

Hot day, stopped in for a bit and an awesome mug of beer. Dogs allowed at outside seating. Yeah!!!!

To start, my wife and I were driving through and saw this place and thought it was would be a great place to stop and grab a quick drink. We didn't get any food, just wanted to grab a drink and hop back on the road. Walking in from the parking lot, it appears you're walking through the back door. You wind around and finally get to the bar. After standing at the bar awkwardly for a few minutes, a gentleman asked if we were going to be joining them? We asked if we could sit outside, but unfortunately there was a waiting list. Thought that was a little weird as their was a big area where you could just sit with a drink and there was no line to seen. So we ended up sitting in the corner, which was weird, I faced the wall and my wife faced the window. We got 3 different beers 'Mr Grumpypants', 'Bam's Brown' and 'The Left Turn'. None of them were amazing and actually tasted a bit weird to both of us. Overall, the atmosphere of the establishment was way different than what we were expecting. We were expecting a brewery/tap room and we really got a restaurant that brews beer. I would most likely not stop here again, for just drinks, and would probably not recommend this to my friends and family.

3 things. This is all you need to know: 1.) Mr Grumpy Pants Oatmeal Stout 2.) Pimento Cheese 3.) Chorizo Mac and Cheese If you're still reading, Go here. its a cool place with great beer and great food.

Great beers. Good food. Friendly service. Will definitely be back despite our 30 minute drive!

We stopped here for dinner one night, while visiting friends who had moved up here. We went here, and I was instantly in love with the interior. It's really, really cute. Everything is bright and cheerful, and the different colors and textures work so well together. Is it trendy, with a lot of cliche decor elements? Yes. But is it executed well? YES. And as weird as this may sound, my favorite part of the place was actual liquid hand soap in the bathroom. So many places use foam now, and I never feel like my hands are clean enough (yes - I know this is random and weird). I'm not a beer drinker, so I can't speak to the beer. My husband ordered a flight, and then ordered a regular sized IPA. This place loses a star because of their lack of non-beer options. I know it's a brewery, but they also serve really excellent food. It would be nice if children, pregnant women, or just non-beer drinkers had a few more options. I had an elderflower soda, which was okay. The food was incredible. My husband and I both ordered specials: I had the little pig, which was pork belly and a super fresh and bright tasting slaw (and an order of fries), and my husband had the cornbread stuffed pork shoulder. Both dishes were amazing. We both ordered dessert as well. He had the charred corn coconut cream pie, and I had an herby blueberry sorbet. Again, both were amazing. The service was excellent - with one flaw. We had ordered an appetizer of pimiento cheese, and we never received it. Being from the south, we were both looking forward to it, but oh well. Our server was incredibly friendly and efficient. The food took a while to come out, but that was communicated to us when we ordered, which is so helpful (I don't understand why more businesses seem incapable of just keeping their customers informed).

I think this is a great addition to this little town. I am only in the area for about a week every year while on vacation so this was a nice new place to go. Food was really excellent. Everyone in our group loved their meals! Two got the Italian sausages, while another got the Porchetta panini and I got this awesome sandwich... ham, egg and cheese on herbed toast with real maple syrup for dipping. My sandwich was exploding with flavor and I was seriously contemplating getting one to go. I fought the urge to be gluttonous but ended up ordering dessert which was a delicious blueberry marshmallow that was roasted and sandwiched between 2 soft lemon cookies and drizzled with caramel sauce. To. Die. For. My only complaint about the dessert is that I think the cookies needed to be crispy instead of soft. There was just too much soft texture going on in the dessert and a crispy cookie would have been the perfect contrast. But, don't get me wrong, the lemon cookies were ah-mazing! Just think this particular dessert would have benefited from some other texture. A couple complaints: - This place was way too hot. There were ceiling fans going but they were not doing much to cool it down. It also looked like there was some sort of AC but didn't feel it working. - The restrooms were very hot with little ventilation and there is one stall that has a window in it which looks out to their outdoor seating. Hopefully you can't see in! Awkward. - They were out of the beer a few of us wanted to try. I had the IPA but that's not really what I like to have for beer so I personally would not get the IPA again. Someone else who loves Indian Pale Ale may love it though! Overall, I will definitely be back when I am in the area. The food is really great and hopefully the temperature issues will be better next year :)

THE GOOD: GREAT food. I've been all around the US and unfortunately not many restaurants know how to cook a burger to order nowadays. These guys get it SPOT ON every time. Been here 6-7 times since they opened. I have loved everything I've eaten so far. THE BAD: It's really a shame but out of the 6-7 times I've been here, I've waited almost an hour for food regardless of how many people are in the restaurant. Besides the wait I love the place. Seems like they are TOO popular and understaffed. Still 4 stars from me! It's a must try.

Such a great spot. We went for lunch and all the food was excellent, the whole family loved it. Beer was good too but in a way was overshadowed by the food.

You will walk away understanding this is much more then a bar/restaurant. I grew up here, and after living outside of Maine for so long, it's nice to come back to a fresh new Brew Pub. Well done brewmaster Melhus, keep it up!! NBC is the best establishment for the following: - Drinking flavorful craft beer in Maine - Eating delicious comfort food - Relaxing atmosphere inside or outside - Affordable for all your friends and family

Lovely spot to spend a Sunday morning. The service was friendly and efficient. And the food was really good-my burger was cooked just as I like it. Beer was excellent too. If you're in the area, don't miss this place.

This was a fun stop. We went with a group of friends after "junking" they had been before. The beers were fun to try. The blueberry actually tasted like blueberry, not just a mild flavor but a real strong berry flavor, it was awesome for dessert. Everyone ordered burgers and was thrilled with them. They loved it. I had a salad and perogies. They were not anything like my Polish grandmother made... they were WAY better!! Overall the service was great, food was excellent, sitting outside was comfortable and relaxing. A lovely find, I would happily go back.

The atmosphere here is great. They've decorated in a trendy, rustic way. Old snow shoes hang as decorations on the walls alongside white Christmas lights, and the flights are served in old metal tool drawers from an old hardware store in town. Very cool vibe. The service is good. Staff is friendly. The beers themselves are tasty and diverse. Many different options from pale ale to rye to stout and some seasonal. Recently there is a new Apple Bear that is 3.3% and resembles a cider. Nice and crisp. Menu of food is fitting for a brewery, too. I recommend the cheese plate. Overall a good place to grab dinner or stop in for a drink, although space is limited indoors in the winter. Outdoor patio and beer garden open in the summer are very spacious and nice.

Really delicious and unique food. We were from out of town and most of the nearby food is dull. My husband had a yummy sandwich from here the night before so we gave it a try for Sunday brunch. This food is creative and tasty. We had the donut French toast, the mushroom omelette and the pulled pork hash. It did take a bit of time to come out. Longer than you really want food to take. But it was worth it in the end.

Great brews and great fresh food!! We've been there twice when we were visiting friends and it's now a "must" destination when in the area. Both times we were there it was summer and sat outside. The wait staff was great and very personable. The last time I had a great burger with nice crisp fries! Kudos- my wife left her credit card there one time and didn't realize it until we were back in Massachusetts. After calling and confirming they had the card, they securely and promptly mailed it to us. Great place, great people!

I'm from so cal with lots of breweries and have a vacation spot a few miles down the road..... I have to say I was excited to see this place and really enjoyed the beer along with customer service however I didn't get the chance to try the food.... please try to get some hoppier ipa's or like a black or something! :) will be back

Great local spot that is also worth a drive! Beers change often on the 10 tap lines and range from saisons to stouts. Food is awesome.. it's not a diner or fast food joint so expect 30 mins or so for food.. more time to try beers!

Can't say enough about this place. Beer is always excellent, I love coming and trying what's new but their core menu is always solid as well. Food is amazing and the outdoor patio is perfect for a warm Maine evening. This is a must do every time I am home for a visit!!!

What a great addition to downtown Norway! Outstanding artisan beer and a simple but elegant, fresh, and tasty menu. Friendly and welcoming staff and owners. Beautiful outdoor seating. Nice hens-n-chickens center pieces too!

I want to drink their beer and eat their food. It's all good, but... they have a nice outdoor patio and refuse to serve food out there. I don't understand what the big deal is. We have tried to go three times and have not been allowed to eat outside. This last time they told us we could have beer or french fries outside but not full entrees. We decided to go someplace else because it was too nice out.

Norway brewing company is a real needle in a haystack! Haven't been to a better local brewing company with delicious beers, food, and service that is friendly in quite awhile. Triple stack farmhouse w/ Maine maple syrup is awesome.

Great little spot to not only taste some great beers but excellent food. I had the blueberry doughnut and it exceeded my expectations. The monte cristo sandwich was also delicious. Definitely recommend!

Norway brewing company has never disappointed. I've had the opportunity to enjoy the pimento cheese and ramen. The imperial style beers are good as well as fruity saison/sours too. Always a must to stop by whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

I've been here a couple times and I've left with a smile every time. Drinks are great and so is the food. Their menu changes all the time so you will never get bored. My favorite thing to do is sit on the patio for brunch! Beautiful and delicious. With seating indoors and outside, it's great rain or shine. It's a bit of a quirky place, but that's what I like about it. The staff is friendly and love helping you find the beers you like.

Hooray! A great little brew pub in an area that really needed it! Close to Celebration Barn. Perfect dinner before a show. I highly recommend the Full Monty with the Coffee Stout.

I love Norway brewing company! Beer is great and so many varieties on tap. The food is amazing from brunch to dinner I have never been diappointed. I highly recommend going in and giving this brewery/restaurant a try.

Beer was so so, the staff and brewers could not even tell us IBU's. Said that was not important, huh. Had a malt bomb and really wasn't impressed. Hope they move forward. Blah, blah, blah.

Great beers. very european. fries are awesome chicken sandwich great. chicken tacos were tasty.! crab cakes were good. raspberry sauce delicious!
