Visit the Industrial Way breweries in Portland
At this point, Maine has dozens of craft breweries and the number keeps growing. But if you want to hit many birds with one stone, head to the Industrial Way area of Portland. That’s where you’ll find Allagash, Geary’s, Foundation, Austin Street and Battery Steele. It’s like a DIY brewery crawl waiting to happen. Cheers!
