"Oxbow Brewing’s sprawling Portland outpost feels somewhat industrial, and it's no wonder; half the facility is used for production. The cool, warehouse vibe and vast selection brings faithful regulars to worship at the temple of Maine’s most prolific brewery. Oxbow is a mandatory stop for beer tourists in Portland—you'll be able to sample the saisons for which the brewery is known, as well as harder-to-find styles at which Oxbow excels, like bières de garde and grissettes. Be sure to hit up the Duckfat Friteshack, just outside, on your way in or out." - Joe Ricchio
