Brickyard Hollow Brewing Company (New Gloucester, ME)
23 Jun 2025
My visit to Lewiston reminded me not only that Maine is a pretty large state, but that the highway infrastructure is all coastal in nature. Lewiston is a little over 100 miles as the crow flies from my place, but the options for getting there are basically (a) 3 hours and 180 miles via divided highway (with tolls), or (b) 3 hours and 20 minutes and 140 miles via various NH and ME back roads. Of course, I took the latter, and had a reasonably nice drive and saved a bit of gas, but it’s also what led to a drive down Route 202 just north of Gray, ME in the small town of New Gloucester. There, I encountered a fairly new output of the regional brewpub chain Brickyard Hollow (the original is in Yarmouth, ME’s “Brick Hollow” neighborhood, hence the name). While not needing lunch at that point, I made it a point to return via the same route a few days later and try them out.
