About Us

Sebago Brewing Company started in 1998 with three friends: Kai, Tim, and Brad. Together they created a place where people could gather, share a beer, and have a good time. Since then, Sebago has grown into a community of talented brewers, cooks, long-time staff, loyal guests and craft beer lovers. Great beer, great food, great people – that’s what we’re about.

The Beer

It starts with the water. We’ve always been inspired by Sebago Lake, one of Maine’s most beautiful natural resources. Lucky for us, it’s the pristine water source for every beer we brew. The 36-foot water main that services Portland is directly in front of the brewery, and we have direct access to it. The mineral components in the pure water of Sebago Lake is ideal for brewing beer!

To us and a lot of other folks, Sebago Lake is much more. It’s the fun of cruising on the water, cooking out on the beach, or renting a camp. At the lake you can just…relax. That’s the spirit we’ve tried to capture in some of our most popular beers, like Frye’s Leap and Simmer Down.

When we started brewing beer in 1998, we helped to usher in a new era of craft beer in Maine. And our talented brewery team keeps looking forward to the next big thing. They work hard to brew and can consistent, high-quality, and creative craft beer. We offer a full line of year-round, seasonal beers, and small batch beers, as well as several highly anticipated, limited-edition Single Batch Series beers. Sebago beers are available at our brewpubs and Tasting Room and select stores throughout Maine and New Hampshire.

Wherever you’re enjoying Sebago beer – on the lake, at a backyard barbecue, or in one of our brewpubs – our goal is to make sure you’re having the best experience possible.

The Food

From the beginning, we wanted Sebago Brewing Company to be rooted at the crossroads of food and beer. We offer elevated pub fare in a casual, comfortable environment at each of our three brewpubs and Tasting Room.

We empower the managers and kitchen staff at each of our locations to create unique menu items that guests will love (and pair well with our beer), regularly updating the menus to fit the season, food trends, and local products. And we keep our standards high, always striving to provide good, quality food that won’t break the bank.

The People

We hire great people and treat them like family. That’s what we’ve been doing for more than 25 years. In our humble beginnings, everyone wore many hats, at the brewery, in the kitchen, and behind the bar, so we know hospitality and the beer business intimately. We look for people who share our values of honest open communication, being genuine, and a true work-life balance.

Sebago Brewing has grown over the years, but we’re still fiercely local, and we cherish and respect every member of the team. We continue to provide health insurance, dental insurance, and 401k and are always looking to add benefits that support our family. Many of us have been here a long time, and we love to see people grow their careers over the years.

It all comes back to our people. We live to give great service because our guests – whether they’ve been regulars for years or visiting for the first time – are part of the Sebago family too.
