Local Maine Authenticity and German Charm

The Biergarten at the Skowhegan Spinning Mill is another reason to celebrate local food and building community. Inspired by the German beer gardens where people can enjoy a beer, a bratwurst, and conversation, our space and menu represent central Maine’s agriculture and history on the river, offering a wide variety of Maine craft beers, locally sourced food, and diverse events. Stay tuned here and on our Instagram — @skowheganbiergarten — for updates, events, and more!
