Whether you’re visiting Portland for the first time or you’ve called Maine home for years, there’s no better way to spend an afternoon than with great beer, handcrafted pizza, and good company. Nestled in the heart of Portland, the Shipyard Tasting Room is more than just a place to grab a pint—it’s where locals gather, visitors unwind, and every visit feels like a celebration of Maine craft beer.

Start with a Flight

Can’t decide on just one beer? Start your visit with a tasting flight. It’s the perfect way to sample a variety of Shipyard favorites alongside seasonal and limited-release brews. From crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs to rich stouts and the iconic Pumpkinhead (when it’s in season), there’s always something new to discover.

Our knowledgeable team is happy to recommend beers based on your taste, whether you’re a longtime craft beer enthusiast or just beginning your beer journey.

Pair It with Fresh, Handcrafted Pizza

No brewery visit is complete without something delicious to eat. Our kitchen serves handcrafted pizzas made with fresh ingredients and baked to perfection. Whether you’re craving a classic pepperoni, a veggie-packed favorite, or something a little more adventurous, there’s a pizza to satisfy every appetite.

Not sure what to order? Ask our staff for a beer pairing recommendation. The right combination can bring out new flavors in both your beer and your pizza.

Relax, Stay Awhile

The Shipyard Tasting Room was designed to be a place where people can slow down and enjoy themselves. Meet friends after work, catch up with family over lunch, or simply pull up a seat and enjoy a fresh pint.

Depending on the season, you can soak up the sunshine outdoors or settle into the welcoming atmosphere inside with a cold beer in hand.

Catch Live Entertainment and Special Events

There’s always something happening at the tasting room. From live music and trivia nights to beer releases, game-day watch parties, and seasonal celebrations, every visit offers a chance to experience something different.

Be sure to check our event calendar before you stop by—you might discover your new favorite local tradition.
