Hi there! I'm your guide, Willow. I've spent thousands of hours collecting and identifying mushrooms all over the United States. I grew up on Mount Desert Island, Maine, and graduated from College of the Atlantic in 2017.

Wanted some bbq so we googled Mainely meat and Atlantic Brewing Company came up so we dropped in for lunch. Susan was our waitress and was friendly and pleasant. We chose the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad . Great choice! Came on thick toasted bread, I got the hot sauce which complemented the juicy tender pork well. Going back to try the ribs soon. The smokers were nearby and wonderful smells were in the air.

I am not sure if its because I didn't expect much...it doesn't look like much from the road. But, I thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting. We sat outside at a bistro table on a great weather day. I usually don't like sweet wines so, I wanted to avoid those. However, I did go with the Blueberry wine as my last choice out of 6. I had to - its their number one seller. I loved it and wished I had tried all of their specialty wines. Unfortunately, they were about to close and could not do another tasting round. For $6.00 and 6 pours outside, its a nice excursion. Sweet Pea's Cafe is right next door so, there is a place to eat onsite that offers outdoor tables. It created a nice adult atmosphere. We hung out here again the following day.
