We are guided by creative flavors, quality, consistency, community, and a love of all things outdoors. Rising Tide supports our farmers, using local ingredients in every beer.

Our beers are available in cans and on draft in our tasting room in Portland’s East Bayside neighborhood and at select locations in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.

You can’t go wrong ordering the Bayside Double smash burger and a flight of beers. Nice, open space with picnic table seating

Not a lot of options for sour beers but the only option they had was very good. As for food, hands down the best smash burger I have ever had. We ordered the Bayside double; the bun was fresh and meat was perfectly grilled and caramelized.We also ordered the my Greek vacation (falafel) and it was good as well.

Great vibes. I loved the Blueberry Sour, and my partner loved the house Hefeweizen. Bartenders were super friendly. Highly recommend!

We visited hoping to go to the comedy, but it was postponed. We stayed for dinner and drinks and it was very good. The beers were excellent. The food was great... a burger and grilled cheese. French fries were excellent.

9/30/23 - Nice Brewery. Lots of seating. My fiancé got a flight and chicken tenders and fries. The chicken tender and fries were pretty good. I loved the atmosphere of the place. Would enjoy to come back if we visit Maine again.

We absolutely love this place whenever we have friends visiting. It's our go-to spot due to its spacious setting that's perfect for groups. The best part is the incredible variety on the menu that caters to every taste bud, regardless of age. Not only are there a range of beers but also a fun food menu. We enjoy the option of sitting at the large picnic tables outside to soak up the sun or indoors, where we can catch a view of the game and avoid the rain.When it comes to food, my personal favorite is the salad with the added falafel, which bursts with flavors. However, tonight, we tried the French onion burger, and it was a delightful experience. Just take a look at that irresistible cheese crisp in the photo! The fries are thin and crispy (think McDonald's), and don't forget to try them with their mouthwatering aioli, just enough spice added in. While the chicken fingers are tasty, they do come in smaller portions for the price. Overall, this place is fantastic, offering a great ambiance, a diverse menu, and some truly delectable options.

I keep my reviews short and sweet!We loved that the prices were very reasonable and they had plenty of options to select from. I prefer seltzers and they had a couple low sugar options which were both very good! My husband got the summer flight and we liked all of them but didn’t love any of them. Fortunately, we didn’t dislike anything we tried! There was also a ton of seating and the servers were very nice and quick! We didn’t wait long at all; however we were there at 2pm on a Tuesday, so I imagine it’s not usually that busy.I do think it’s important to note that this is a progressive establishment. We don’t mind that at all, but I know for others it can be off putting. So if gender neutral bathrooms, Black Lives Matter signs and other flags would make you shop elsewhere this place isn’t for you. Again, we don’t mind at all and enjoyed our time here very much!! We do like to give others a heads up who like to spend money at places that align with their beliefs!

Board Game Speed Dating at Rising Tide Brewing @ Rising Tide Brewing Company
Oct 23 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Board Game Speed Dating at Rising Tide Brewing @ Rising Tide Brewing Company | Portland | Maine | United States

Finding someone can be painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and searching for a partner?

Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner?

Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you’ve never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you’d like to date and a list of those you met that you’d like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other’s e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out.

Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends.

Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great.

Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol.

Before you decide to buy tickets, a few basics we should cover:

1) This event is for men & women, ages 25-39. We also have events for gay men and queer women. And we’re hoping to add events to serve even more people in the future! Head over to https://www.quirkevents.com/maine to see what else we have to offer. (If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, you’ll be able to join our mailing list and get notified about future events. Plus, joining our mailing list gets you 50% off your first ticket purchase!)

2) To stay up-to-date on everything we have going on at Quirk Events, follow us on Instagram here!

3) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 48 hours’ notice, in order to make sure we have enough time to find a replacement for you and keep the event well-populated. (Exceptions will be made for emergency situations on a case-by-case basis). After that, we’re blowing the money from your ticket sale on something awesome and nonrefundable.

4) If we get to 24 hours before the event and still haven’t sold five tickets for each gender, we will cancel the event (and notify you). When we have run this event in the past, tickets have consistently sold very well, so we don’t expect this to happen. But we thought we should cover this in case it came up.

5) How many games we have and which ones we use will be based in part on how many people attend, so we can’t tell you for sure what we’ll have right now. But the goal is for all of them to be fun, light, easy-to-learn games. Selection will include games from both the something-you-have-played-before category and the something-you-haven’t-played-before category. The games are also chosen because they often tend to spark conversation and leave room for chatting with new people as you play. All games will be group games, meaning you’ll get a chance to meet a handful of people with each new round.
