Tributary Brewing Company

Fantastic beer and atmosphere. Stands out from other breweries since it has more of a true bar feel. Stopped by here on a Saturday and we enjoyed listening to live music (blues) along with drinking beer and (BONUS) petting the owners dogs. We’ll definitely be back.

I’ve been off beer for about a year now, but this place haunts my dreams. Everytime I go to the post office it’s this reminder of this really attractive girlfriend that you broke up with who smells like hops.

With only 4 beers on tap, you’d think I’d be less generous than 5 stars. Normally you would be right and my first thought was solid 4 stars. But Tributary was awesome and I’m feeling generous because of their great attitude and the promise of great things to come. Such a great space in the corner of a small mall, it was very polished and welcoming inside. Friendly staff, welcoming smiles, glad you’re here kind of people. Everything is shiny and spotless. Love that. And bonus for being dog friendly!
4 ounce tastings are $ 1.50 each so you could have them all for about $ 6. Plus they will let you just have a small taste before you decide what you want to drink. Nice. Unlike many other craft brewers Tributary’s offerings didn’t have catchy names. They had a Pale Ale, Brown Porter, Wheat IPA, and a collaborative brew with Earth Eagle called a Sweet Fern Gose. If you’ve never tried a Gose you owe it to yourself to try this ancient German style of sour/​salt almost medicinal wheat brew. This one was brewed with natural ferns that was quite something! We both loved their pale ale a lot.
I’m sure there are great things ahead for Tributary. Highly recommend you stop in and try it!

Great beer on a brewery tucked into a mini strip mall. Lots of beer to try. Reasonable prices for the flights and plenty of tables. We purchased a growler to bring to lunch.

Tributary is the best! A few coworkers and I will usually stop by once a week after work for a few beers, every beer I’ve had has been excellent. Denise is a sweetheart, the atmosphere is super casual with a small bar and picnic tables inside, and they’re dog friendly :) I’m so happy to see their beer making its way to a lot of local restaurants. Stop in, you won’t be disappointed!

This brewery is fantastic. So clean and nice looking. Denise, who was working the tasting room during my visit, is great! We’re on a Maine brewery quest and this was our first stop. Denise was very helpful in planing our next few stops and gave us good info about other local brewers. I enjoyed a flight, my favorite being the porter. All the beers I sampled were awesome and the locals are lovely!

I stopped here after a great brunch at Friendly Toast. First visit and it was good. I really enjoyed the Pale Ale, but each beer was obviously crafted with love. Simple atmosphere with live music on this Saturday afternoon and I wished I could stay for more. There was a food truck in the parking lot, but I did not investigate further. I look forward to a return visit.

This place rocks! We happened upon the tasting room and are so glad we stopped. The tasting room is wide open and, when we were there, had live music. There were people everywhere and tons were coming in with growlers. You could tell that people came back here often. The owners had a very friendly dog who walked around and tried to skieve food off of people :) The beers were delicious and quite well priced. They had munchies out and you could go up to the bar and ask for a bowl, which was nice. My only complaint was that there were only four beers to try; really, though, this doesn’t matter because we will go back and try more another day!

Our final stop on the NH to ME beer brewery tours. My buddy Jeff is the head brewer at this establishment so we received the special VIP tour. The dry stout was delicious! Tod, our tour guide, was awesome to talk to. He really takes pride in his product and his craft. We walked out with a log of their pale ale, a few growers and grins from ear to ear. I only wish that this place was closer to RI.

This place is a hidden gem in Kittery. Very low key and «basic», with picnic tables and a small bar area. But boy is the craft beer amazing! And the bartenders know their stuff. You get to taste all before you choose. And they work in cooperation with a food truck vendor in the parking lot that sells amazing sandwiches that they will deliver to your table. You must GO!

Each beer is a masterpiece. The beer turnover is frequent, so fans should check back monthly for new ones. The pale ale is one every beer drinker should try. They provide tours with free samples too!

The beer here is GREAT! The pale ale is the best I’ve ever had & can’t wait for the porter to be poured. Tod knows beer, plain & simple. More good things to come I’m sure.

Finally had the opportunity to tri-​beer at Tributary Brewing. Outstanding facility, casual atmosphere, and most importantly — exceptional beer. All four flight options were uniquely delicious in their own way. Pumpkin was appropriate for the season, IPA and Pale Ale were great as well. Kate the Lab was also super cute.

Some of the tastiest freshly brewed beers, ales and stouts. Todd is truly a brew master and there are plenty of choices for the beer fanatic. Friendly local atmosphere, great place to strike up a conversation with a stranger. Delicious food truck with awesome sliders right outside most days. Also live music on weekends…
really worth the trip

Soooo… Long time no Unilocal.What better way to get back in the saddle then tell you about some great folks that opened an amazing brewery.
Tod just opened this past weekend and I went in on Saturday with some friends. The place was packed and there was a line wrapped around the right wall leading to the taps. Strategically placed along the way was some decent merchandise. I fell victim to the growler and the growler koozie. Saturday had the choice of the Pale Ale and the Pale Ale. I went with the Pale Ale and it was great! Little bit of a bite for those that like IPAs but not too much for those that do not. Sunday the menu opened up and Nut Brown was added, this was an amazing beer. Rich roasty and a lot harder than the Pale Ale. I was standing in front of Tod on Sunday when he said, We have more beer than yesterday, and on Wednesday we’ll have more than today. That statement along sold me on the people. Forget the fact they have smiles behind the bar even when facing down a large crowd.
«The Good»
— It’s a tie for the Beer and the People. I would said that is a pretty good problem to have for a tie.
— Picnic Tables, a bar and some comfy chairs are your seating arrangement choices.
— Tasting Glasses and Growlers and even growl-​ettes or squeakers for those who do not want to commit.
— Plenty of Parking.
«The Meh»
— No Pylon sign as of yet, but the GPS knows where it is so trust your gut when you are told to turn into the Post Office Parking lot.
«The Bad»
— Nothing…
