Orono Brewing

Our Story

At Orono Brewing Company, we're more than just a brewery; we're a community gathering place dedicated to crafting exceptional beers and celebrating the vibrant spirit of Maine. From our humble beginnings in a refurbished concrete manufacturing facility in Orono, we've grown into a brewery with a heart, where passion for brewing meets a love for local ingredients and good times.

Our journey started with a simple belief: that the best beer comes from a place of love, dedication, and genuine connection to the land. This belief has guided every decision we've made, from sourcing the finest local grains and hops to welcoming our neighbors into our unique space where they can enjoy a pint and share a moment.

Brewing Excellence

We're committed to crafting beers that are as diverse and flavorful as the people of Maine. Our brewing team, led by passionate and experienced brewers, meticulously crafts a wide range of styles, from light and refreshing lagers to bold and hoppy IPAs. Each beer is a testament to their dedication to quality, using traditional brewing methods combined with innovative techniques to create truly remarkable flavors.

At Orono Brewing, we take pride in our signature brews. Our Golden Grove Witbier, with its refreshing citrus notes and subtle spice, is a perfect embodiment of our commitment to balance and clarity. The Tubular DIPA, a double IPA hailing from our beloved flagship location, bursts with juicy hop aromas and a balanced bitterness, creating an unforgettable experience. And of course, our Wicked Maine Blueberry Ale, a unique and delicious fusion of craft beer and Maine's iconic blueberry, captures the essence of our home state's bounty.

Beyond the Brew

Our brewery isn't just about the beer, it's about the experience. Our Orono location, a converted concrete manufacturing facility, boasts a unique industrial-chic atmosphere that's both inviting and energetic. With 24 rotating draft lines, a spacious beer garden, and a full kitchen serving up delicious handcrafted food, we provide a perfect space to gather with friends, family, or even just to unwind after a long day.

We firmly believe that a brewery is more than just a place to get a drink; it's a community hub, a gathering place, and a space to create memories.
