Winter is finally out of here… well, we hope. Mainers are ready to get outside, and with mild temperatures expected soon, outdoor spring activities will resume.
I still remember reading the announcement that Gritty's Brewery in Freeport is permanently closing and Maine felt like we took a huge loss. Here are some other notable Maine breweries that have since permanently closed their doors that might make you want to cry they were so awesome.
If you're familiar with the brewing landscape here, it won't come as a shock that Maine has secured the runner-up position in the national brewery count.
If you live or have even visited one or both of these states, it probably won't surprise you that we are in beer country up here in Northern New England with these two states leading the US with the most breweries per capita.
