Very cool spot to xc ski, snow shoe and bring your good dog! Food was phenomenal. We tried the dry cider and it is probably my favorite hard cider. Staff was helpful and nice. The trails are well groomed and the fire pits are a nice touch to warm up! 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing cool place with awesome beer. It has really been built out recently with new kitchen, wood fired pizza oven, stage, and lots of covered and incoherent sitting areas. Friendly staff, super cool farm to wander around

The best place to xc ski! Free trails and affordable rentals from Portland Gear Hub if you need xc skis or snow shoes. Take the beautiful wooded trails about a mile out to The Hut and have a beer around the fire. There’s a bathroom out there and it’s kid and dog friendly. When you get back to the parking area, pop into the restaurant for a beer and a delicious wood fired pizza. The food is amazing, staff are friendly, atmosphere is perfect. What else could you want? It’s one of those special places in Maine that make our state so lovely. Thanks to Oxbow for keeping the trails free and beautifully groomed for the public!!

We have been here a few times. The pizza is wood fired, beer is their own and good. I had the Northern Lager, nice, light and refreshing. Wife had, sorry she can remember but she liked it, abit sour for me. Our pizza by the way was fantastic, it was the Njuja. Spicy Italian pork, Calabrian chilis with honey. So, good, we are sitting here contemplating about ordering another pizza, 2 people 14” with thin crust another one would push us over the edge. But, really good if your in the area.

Food was fantastic. The best pizza I’ve had in a while. The mushroom pizza was particularly good. The beer is unique too; it’s worth branching out. Went on a Friday and it wasn’t too packed. Place is spread out and has a cool atmosphere. Wish there was one closer to Boston.

Beautiful location, great service, and fantastic pizza! Don’t sleep on the fried artichokes. And, of course, the on-tap beer selection is robust. A must-try, especially if you dig cross-country skiing.

We ordered a couple beers and a cheese pizza and sat at the bar. The pizza was one of the best we've ever had. Dan, I think his name was, is awesome. So knowledgeable about all the beers, how they are made etc. Super guy. The interior is super cool, simple and rustic decor. Tons of outside tables so I'm sure its great in the summer. You can buy bundles of wood and hang around a fire too. Great place!

Such a cute restaurant/brewery. I really loved the atmosphere and the vibe at this place. All the people (customers and employees) were super nice and friendly and they had a lot of options for beer. The bartender was great and gave us samples until we found one we particularly liked. Ended up with the field beer and the saison aquatic - both very good. For food, we got the mushroom calzone and the donuts! Very pleased with the donuts and would highly recommend them. The calzone was good, but somewhat small compared to what we had seen another table get. In addition, I think adding sausage like they had recommended would’ve made it a good combination. Overall, pretty good experience!
