It’s not every day that you can enjoy a great brew while also taking in the beauty of the great outdoors. Unless you’re in Maine. If that’s the case, you can do it every day by heading to Oxford County, which is just about an hour from Portland. Here, you’ll find an outpost of one of the state’s most beloved breweries. This one, just slightly off the beaten path is extra-special because it offers trails at a brewery right here in Maine.

Oxbow Beer Garden in Oxford is one of Oxbow's three locations located throughout Maine. But the others, in Newcastle and Portland, don't quite stir the same excitement in our outdoors-loving souls that this one does!
