It’s astounding that nearly 17 new breweries opened or opened a second location during a pandemic year, particularly when so many of these businesses were hampered this year with state distancing mandates, so we’re thrilled to see the industry continue to roar back to life. With more than 150 breweries in the state, Maine is closing in on (if we have not already surpassed) Vermont’s record for having more breweries per capita.  Here’s a regional list of new breweries and where to go on your next brewcation!
