The idea of a true authentic neighborhood brewery and tavern has been a passion of ours since 2005. After managing a bustling seasonal lobster wharf, we realized that ownership and completely authentic relationships are what makes a business run crisply and smoothly. We decided to bring it down to a more personal neighborhood level that would help shape our communities, our country, and hopefully, our world. We feel some of these qualities have been lost to the ballooning iron-clad commercial enterprises in our world. We intend to offer those qualities again here at The Watershed Tavern.
In 2009 we started to build our own vision of a tavern, carving from the most important ingredient: community. In order to create a true "public house", where we hope to spark conversations and visions for positive change in our hometown and country. It is small, well-built with real homegrown timbers, sawn off our very own sawmill from trees donated by our enthusiastic supporters of the project. Having a brewery that produces fresh local beers made in the stalwart tradition of hardy Mainers, served with classic, simple, yet flavorful all-natural foods in a warm friendly atmosphere.
