Steam Mill Brewing

Superb spot, harvest host(if you know you know), best customer service received in Maine, lovely genuine staff and great drinks.

I think this is my favorite brewery in the area. Combine that with a great space, fantastic food and super employees! Had the cauliflower app and the falafel bowl (this was a bit sparse). Shout out to a great bartender, Jeb!

We had an amazing visit at Steam Mill Brewery. They were very accommodating and the service was wonderful. Great variety of beer, seltzers, and mixed drinks. The waitress was very helpful when it came to recommendations and giving samples before ordering. We ordered the Giant Pretzel as an appetizer and was very pleased with the size and taste! We will definitely be returning!

As we travel, we like to stop at different places, and we found Steam Mills through Harvest Hosts, and it turned out to be a great place!
We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Steam Mills team even let our travel puppy eat with us on their outdoor seating.
The live music was excellent! The staff was fantastic!
We enjoyed our time and will be back.

Went for dinner. I had the rye IPA, very tasty. Ate the Korean chicken sandwich, outstanding. Others had the burger and they loved them. Tasted the rauchbier, don't think I like that style but my friend loved it. Very clean, great service and not too crowded on a Thursday night during ski season.

Loved the atmosphere sitting outside under the tent. Had the lobster gnocchi and it was so good my husband came back later in the week to get it again. Fish sandwich was great and the truffle fries were unique and so good. Unlike any I have had before.

Delicious food and drinks. Came here to have a few beer flights and check the place out. Ended up having some apps / dinner and some delicious dessert. I got their blueberry BBQ chicken tenders as an appetizer which were delicious with some quality chicken. The stuffed chicken meal was top tier. Definitely one of the best dishes I’ve ever had in my life. The duck fat potatoes were an amazing addition to the chicken. The brisket sandwich with hand cut frys was definitely a runner up to the stuffed chicken but I don’t think anything will match it. The standard beer flight was full of flavorful beers of all types and so was the seltzer flight. For dessert they unfortunately didn’t have any more of the whoopie pie flights but the skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream was a ten out of ten. Must try.

Lovely experience. We went on a Friday evening and sat at the bar in their upstairs lounge. Enjoyed our drinks (a mixed drink and a beer on tap) while a guitarist played. Had dinner right there at the bar. A red and golden beet salad, French onion soup and a Korean chicken sandwich - all of which were delicious and well prepared. Service was very good and bartender/waiter was attentive and accommodating when we had to replace the soup of the day (didn't know it had an ingredient I couldn't eat) with the French onion. We'll certainly go back!

Had a late lunch after skiing, and we loved it. The burgers were great and their odd looking fries were also delicious. Of course the beer was pretty good as well. Staff was friendly and responsive. Highly recommended.

Jeb the manager at Steam Mill Brewing saved our weekend both by offering us a lift into town and supplying us with a fantastic Summer Saison. We will be back as soon as the roads are repaired to try the rest of their lineup!

We almost didn’t go here, because there Google profile said they were only open Thursday to Sunday. We passed by and it looked open so we went in. We found out that they are open every day of the week.

Good vibes and lively atmosphere at the Steam Mill Brewery. We got a beer flight, chicken nachos, and a chicken sandwich with truffle fries.

We enjoyed the Paradise Perle and Whitecap Blueberry beers. The fried chicken sandwich with truffle fries was fire! We recommend it.

The chicken nachos need some work. It only had 5 pieces of chicken in it. It just needed more flavor. Maybe add beans or guac to it?

Enjoyed this as an apres ski spot. The food was well prepared and Kailey was a fantastic waitress. We sat upstairs in the lounge. Good beer selection and variety of food. Not too crowded after a Saturday so we were able to get seated quickly. Love band on Saturday’s.

Great little brewery near the resort area. Dropped in while in the area and enjoyed a scrumptious meal and some tasty brews. Staff was courteous, and efficient. Would stop here again.

Dropped in here after doing some hiking in Sunday River, and I cannot sing their praises enough. When we walked in at 12pm on a Saturday the place was packed and it's easy to see why. The food was delicious and portions were massive. Our entire table all had difficulty ordering because it was so hard to pick just one thing from the menu. I tried the flight (first 6 beers) and loved 5 put of 6 (which is a pretty good ratio in my experience of flights). Lastly, their merchandise game is next level - I am genuinely worried that when I return I will be buying more beanies and shirts than I actually need.

Great spot with local brews and excellent food. They offer other rotating beers on tap. Their cocktails are outstanding.

In addition to a cozy indoor restaurant and bar, they have a beautiful outdoor space with some picnic tables, fire pits, and shelters.

We stopped for a quick beer after driving up from Boston. Only 4 beers available - we tried Goose Eye and C Surplus, both were excellent. There was a food truck on site too. Only serving outside but there were fires or heat sources at every table. Great friendly service.
Open until 6 on Sunday, although Google maps says they’re open to 8pm

I was a bit dehydrated and was greeted with fresh water and frosty mugs, so right off the bat, we were starting well. My pulled pork sandwich was delicious. My only criticism would be the bun. It didn't hold up to the contents of the sandwich. The sauce was spot on, the service was very good, and overall, it was a very good experience.

Seated our party of 16 during Friday Happy Hour and had FANTASTIC Food and Service. Hannah gave us the BEST service. We tried 2 other breweries first and Stem Mill is our choice. We wish we had a few more days to come back!

Came here with friends and were blown away by the food and hospitality. Started off with their play on Crab Rangoon and it was wonderfully deconstructed.
My dinner was the Haddock Sandwich which came with Truffle Fries. Everyone enjoyed dinner and drinks.
LOVED the menu option which was a $10 buy the servers a round. Clever and should be on every menu! Our servers, Hanna and Dalynn were rock stars!
Can't wait to go back!
