Ales for Tails is back! Join the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (ARLGP) for Maine’s only dog-centric beer festival, Ales for Tails. Ales for Tails is an afternoon of Maine-brewed beers, food truck deliciousness, and oceanside fun with your human and canine best friends– all to support the ARLGP’s life-saving work.
Our 2022 breweries include: Allagash Brewing Company, Austin Street Brewing, Banded Brewing, Bangor Beer Company, Bissell Brothers, Black Pug Brewing, Brickyard Hollow, Definitive Brewing Company, Fore River Brewing Company, Foulmouthed Brewing, Foundation Brewing Company, Goodfire Brewing, Island Dog Brewing, Nonesuch River Brewing, Norumbega Cidery, Olive Pit Brewing and Rising Tide Brewing.
Plus, a paw-some lineup of food trucks/carts: Smokey & Brines, Mr. Tuna, Totally Awesome Vegan Food Truck and Zephyr Ice
Each admission includes (6) 8-ounce pours for the brewery booths, free parking, and an aluminum souvenir tasting cup. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome (and encouraged!) to attend at no additional cost. Pre-purchased tickets are $60 per person, $70 at the door (if we do not sell out in advance). This is a 21+ event.
All funds raised directly support the nearly 4,000 pets that depend on our life-saving work every year. Thank you for joining Ales for Tails and supporting pets in need!

AN OUTDOOR MARKET FEATURING ARTISTS + FARMERS + FOODIES
Welcome to East End Vend, Portland’s open-air market with even more crafts, food + farms to explore!
East End Vend is a small and festive outdoor market in Portland, Maine for members (of the Maine Crafts Association) and non-members to participate as vendors alongside farmers and foodies. East End Vend markets are typically four hours long, held on multiple dates, and offer a wide variety of art, craft, and other Maine products in a laid-back and community neighborhood setting.
East End Vend was developed in summer 2020 in response to the pandemic, as all other craft shows were canceled, yet, as folks began to adapt to social distancing it became possible to offer these smaller, lower cost, less formal markets outdoors.
The market is now produced by Shop Maine Craft.
