Craft Beer in Maine•Local•Seasonal•Hard to Find

Bow Street Beverage carries one of the most diverse craft beer selections in southern Maine — local, domestic, imported, and seasonal, all under one roof. Whether you’re chasing the latest Maine release or stocking up on a reliable favorite, you’ll find it at our Portland and Wells stores.

Maine craft beer, front and center.

We take local seriously. Our coolers and shelves are stocked with beers from Maine’s best breweries — from the big names you already know to the small-batch producers most stores don’t bother carrying. IPAs, lagers, stouts, sours, barrel-aged rarities, session beers for the beach — Maine brewers are making all of it, and we’re keeping pace with what’s new.

Beyond Maine.

Great beer doesn’t stop at the state line. We carry a deep selection of craft beers from across New England, the country, and internationally — Belgian farmhouse ales, German lagers, English bitters, and more. If you’re the kind of person who reads the label before you buy, you’re going to enjoy browsing our shelves.

Seasonal and limited releases.

We get allocations of limited and seasonal beers that don’t last long. Follow us on Instagram to catch new arrivals before they’re gone, or just ask when you come in — our staff knows what just landed and what’s worth grabbing.

Ask a cicerone.

Our Portland store has a certified cicerone on staff — someone who has formally studied beer at the same level a sommelier studies wine. If you want a recommendation, a food pairing, or just want to understand the difference between a hazy IPA and a West Coast IPA, we’re happy to talk beer.
