Goodfire Brewing Company

Big thanks to @untappd for the Community Awards! We don’t usually toot our own horn, but six medals (two of them gold!) felt like a good excuse. More importantly, we had to share the love, because you’re the reason we got them. Not bad for our tiny little brewery! We’re proud of what we make, but even more grateful for the community that keeps cheering us on. So a big thank you to you all as well 💖…Oh, and in perfect timing—fresh Bonus Land (Maine’s Best Italian Pilsner, according to these shiny new awards) drops this Friday🍻🔥

Our winter hibernation is almost over!! The Portland Tasting Rooms reopens on Friday, May 22nd from 12-7. We’ve missed all your faces, and we are SO SO ready to be back with you all 🎉🥳🍻 Summer Portland Hours: Thursdays 2-7 Fridays + Saturdays 12-7 Sundays 12-5

Flowers for ALL the moms wasn’t quite doable, but here’s a little something for the first few moms who come to Goodfire Freeport today 🥰🌷💖 Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, along with all the grandmas, aunts, big sisters, godmothers, and other tireless caregivers and role models who make a difference in the life of a child 💕 …we’ve got about 50 mini bouquets, so if you don’t have Mother’s Day plans, now you do! Open 11-8 today. In Freeport

Almost Always Never is back today, pouring on draft in Freeport and in cans to go. You know when you put someone’s face on a beer label and everyone thinks they died? Yup… that happened. So we took Chris’s face off the Almost Always Never can to avoid the confusion. Chris is alive and well, he’s just doing other things in life and no longer brewing with us…that’s all 🤗 Now back to the beer: Portland Common // 5.2% ABV // We brew this beer in the style of a California Common, also known as a Steam Beer. We’ve called this a Portland Common, with deference to the originators of the style, and the awesome manner in which Common is cooled, fermented, and cellared. Amber in color with ample hop character from hot side Crystal and Northern Brewer hops, and a smooth, fruity finish. Our version of this unique lager style is unfiltered, lively, and built for sessioning.

T-8 days! 🇩🇪🍻🥳 Join us for Freeport’s FOURTH Annual Kölsch-ish Night on Thursday, May 14th! We’re celebrating the release of Dizzy Spell, our take on the German Kölsch. We say “ISH” because it’s an Almost Kolsch. It’s Kolsch-ish. It’s a Kolsch lookalike. Why? Because we’re in MAINE, not GERMANY! Duh! Anyways, Ben and the rest of the kitchen are going to be making some seriously great German-ish specials to complement the traditional tableside tray service, which means $4 tableside stanges of Dizzy Spell starting at 5pm. Swing through for a traditional-ish Germanic beer hall experience next week…. and get some notches on that coaster of yours. More about the beer: Dizzy Spell // “Almost Kölsch” // 5% ABV Dizzy Spell, our Kölsch-inspired ale. We brew Dizzy with local Pilsner and Wheat malt, Hallertau + Crystal hops, and Kolsch yeast, and lightly dry-hop with Crystal before a long period of lagering. Dizzy Spell is quenchingly dry and fruity, with rich crackery malt, and a pleasant, citric drinkability. It’s a beer we look forward to sharing each year in the spring time.

SBC bevies will be poured by @goodfirebrewing this year! There's no better way to top off a great day of climbing than sitting with your friends with a delicious local brew in your hand 🍻 Make sure you bring your ID if you'd like to partake in the consumption festivities! 🚧Don't forget that the bouldering area is closed all week🚧 📸@mattcowleyphoto

FRIDAY. SMALL BEER NIGHT. It’s here. Our friends from Goodfire Brewing Company roll in around 5PM—but the beers start pouring before that. Three small beers. All built right: Worms — Best Bitter — 4.4% A classic English pub ale built on balance, not volume. “Bitter” refers to the hop character, but it’s not aggressive—think firm, earthy bitterness layered over toasted bread and light caramel malt. Traditionally served on cask in the UK, it’s designed for long sessions and multiple pints without fatigue. Cuppa — English Mild — 4% Low ABV, malt-forward, and criminally underrated. English Mild leans soft and rounded—notes of cocoa, nutty biscuit, and a touch of dark fruit, with almost no hop bite. Historically a working-class beer meant for everyday drinking, it’s smooth, easy, and quietly complex. Strictly Analog — Zwickelbier — 5.4% An unfiltered German lager pulled straight from the tank—naturally hazy with a fuller body than your typical pils. Zwickelbier showcases fresh malt character (bread dough, soft grain) with a subtle herbal hop note. It’s essentially “brewery-fresh” lager the way it was meant to be tasted. Low ABV. Full flavor. No shortcuts. Pints over hype tonight.

We had a grand ole time brewing up a little something special with the wonderful @naiadcountrybrewery a few weeks ago up in Orland! Collab beer incoming for MAYFEST at @barncastle_bluehill Memorial Day Weekend. Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 24th, from 1-5pm… because you’ll want to bop up to Orland for the shenanigans 🌷🎉🍻 Advanced ticket purchases are recommended (for sale now at the link in our bio, through Barncastle), and include admission into the event, one drink ticket, and entry into a fabulous Swag Bag raffle. See you there!

HAPPY TRI COMBS DAY 💨🍻💈🍃 …it might just be our favorite day of the year! New to Tri Combs? This beer is a Double IPA we brew every year for 4/20, with 3 types of oats (malted, flaked, @oatly oat milk ) and 3 “combs” of hops: Citra, Topaz, and Enigma. Resinous floof, no-holds-barred hop intensity. This one disappears fast, come drink it up! We’ll have it on tap and in 4-packs to go. Hungry? Head to @goodfirefreeport today for their third annual MUNCHIES SPECIALS MENU to pair with Tri Combs.

This week’s BEER OF THE WEEK is Strictly Analog, our Zwickelbier! What’s a Zwickelbier? Sometimes called a Kellerbier, it’s a young German lager served in the spirit of drinking lager as it would taste straight out of the fermenter. To get even more nerdy and nitty gritty, this lager verges on a pils-like hopping rate but lives in the space between. So it has a slight unfiltered haze and a bread-forward flavor profile amplified by Saaz and Tettnang hops. YOU WANT MORE NITTY-GRITTY DETAILS?! It also sees a Franconian-style decoction mash with its typical “Rosten”-style hopping. Anyways, it’s a really fun way to make lager and one of our favorite beers to brew and drink here 😎🆒🍻⏰🕰️🇩🇪 AND PLEASE NOTE FREEPORT IS CLOSING EARLY ON TUESDAY, 4/14 AT 4PM FOR A PRIVATE EVENT!

THIS FRIDAY 💨🌱🍻🍰🍗🍕 We’re celebrating our annual Tri Combs 4/20 beer release early with another munchies menu, back for year three in Freeport. Think: greasy, crunchy, cheesy, salty, sweet. You get it ... Come hungry! Come thirsty! This Friday, April 17 from open to close. What’s Tri Combs? It’s Double IPA we brew annually for 4/20. We brew this beer with 3 types of oats (malted, flaked, @oatly oat milk ) and 3 “combs” of hops: Citra, Topaz, and Enigma. Resinous floof, no-holds-barred hop intensity. This one disappears fast, come drink it up! We’ll have it on tap and in 4-packs to go.

Elite hand-eye coordination and cat-like reflexes? Oh, just part of the job description. So don’t worry, we’ve got your back (and each others’)🍻🫶
