Bangor Area

Might be heading to Bangor (for a week), what's a few decent breweries to hit up?

Flying or driving? Best bet if you are driving is to hit spots along the way up(Oxbow, Marshall Wharf). Can't help you if you are flying in direct.

Breweries? Eehhhhhhh.

I'd just hit up Nocturnem and spend all your money there.

Geaghan, Mason's and Marsh Island are probably your best options up there, but I'd just follow JBPortland's advice

Orono Brewing has a taproom in Bangor now. Outside of that it's "meh" city for breweries. Nocturnem and Blaze have the best tap/bottle lists. Be sure to look at the bottle list at Blaze... I've found some hidden gems [Farm to Face 14' at cost, Vanilla Rye a couple summers ago]

Hogan Road Deli, Bangor Wine and Cheese and Burby and Bates up in Orono are far less picked over than the bottle shops in Portland so you will often find some random goodies that are long gone everywhere else.

The bottle shop in Southwest Harbor is great if you're heading to Acadia/Bar Harbor area. A day trip to Ebenezer's is probably not a bad idea to look into... still need to tick that
