We ordered lunch and beers. I had a liter of the fest bier that was fine. Others in the party ordered different style beers that were supposed to be 12 or 16 oz according to their beer menu. They all came in the same size 12 oz glasses. When I pointed this out to the waiter he said I was wrong in an extremely rude manor. I showed him how 3 of their "16" oz glasses filled with water just filled my empty liter mug. He then asked me if I knew how many ozs were in a liter which I did. He had no reply when I told him about 36 fl oz constitutes a liter. This math wiz then explains to me that 3 16oz glasses should just fill a liter and too bad if I didnt like it. He literately told me "I could disagree until I was blue in the face". To top it off the little punk was wearing a Coors t shirt in a supposedly high class venue ! Ill never go back there even though the food and beer were acceptable. You only get 1 chance to make a first impression. If I had been with some of my regular beer drinking friends I would have asked for the manager and made a point. I didnt feel like doing this with some relatives I rarely see. Too bad but they rip you off there. Its a shame because the beer and food were OK. Buyer beware you get ripped off there.

Ordered a house burger today, July 31, 2015. Received a burger with a large piece of bone in it. I never even heard from the manager about how or why a bone could have ended up in my burger. I requested for a replacement burger, and it was fine, but the damage was already done. I was too busy looking for a bone that I didnt even enjoy my burger. I was here last year and I thought it was great food, beer, and service. Today everything was wrong, I was hoping to come here every year but that will not be the case. I did try their Dry Stout and it reminded me of Guinness Stout. Not a bad thing but not a good thing either. This is a brew pub with an in-house distilleration facility. Beer is an average $6 a pint, and $9 per grawler fill plus $3 for none refundable grawler. This price is average for Massachusetts. Dont know about Maine. $35 for 375ml bottle of their hard liquor. This is way over priced! Save your money and buy a bottle of Gray Goose instead.

There are a select group of staff who have been at this location from opening who are fabulous. New recruits build resentment with the manner in which they communicate to customers. Food is unique and tasty, the beer is fantastic as well. I used to go frequently but not so much anymore. There is very little value other than fresh in house beer for the customers. So it could be I am not the correct demographic they are shooting for? Overall not bad, but the uniqueness of the atmosphere wore off. I still stop in to see if my favorite staff are doing well and the try a beer or two. With all the micro breweries popping up and restaurants in the area competition is fierce. My loyalty is gone.

My wife and I made our usual brewery/restaurant stop in Portland while vacationing in ME. Infiniti was one of a couple new to us breweries we decided to try out. There was nothing at Infiniti that would make me go back. The service was eh, the beer was ok but nothing to write home about and the atmosphere wasnt what you expect from a brew-pub. We decided to order some samples and were explained that 4 samples totaled $2.50. Cool, no problem. However, upon receiving our bill we were surprised to find that each sample was $2.50 totaling $10, just for samples. Nothing was done to fix or make up for the error.

Best brewery in the city in terms of decor. Live edge wood all over the place and an awesome outdoor patio overlooking the wharf where you can watch fishing boats coming and going. Food is insanely good and reasonably priced for the quality. Everything on the menu sounds so good we had a tough time deciding what to order. Had to order a flight of beers because there were so many I wanted. The beers were delicious and they have a wide range of styles for all palates.

Cool location and vibe with many good beers and even liquors. The single malt was incredibly surprising. It tasted like a good Highland or speyside scotch except they distilled it right there. Also a pool table and shuffleboard, although the table was missing balls and only had one cue. Back patio overlooking the docks was cool too. Lots of comfy leather couches inside as well. Overall a cool hangout with a solid happy hour ($2 off already cheap beers from 5-7).

This is a tough 3 star review because I wouldve thrown 5 stars at it this past fall. Liquid Riot used to be my go to place for food and drinks in Portland. The food menu has changed, however, and Im not a fan. Nothing jumps out, and our $16 burger was not worth it. Kind of bummed about this, to be honest. At least the fries are good. The beer is still awesome :) so go for drinks, skip the food

Exceptional Quality concerning everything they do. Excellent beer, excellent distillery, AMAZING food. Awesome tap room constructed with parts of oak barrels, and old barn from Canada, port hole windows from an old ship. The bar stools and tables were made from the same walnut tree for christs sake. Cool place, great food, awesome booze, reasonable prices, great staff. Go here.

Food: AMAZING Beer: AMAZING Location was very cool, but so incredibly loud i could not carry a conversation with anyone, and had to repeat my order yelling so they could hear it. I will go back if they dampen the sound somehow. i spend a lot of time a bars with friends, and usually sound is not an issue. this is the only place i will never go to again with a group.

Right on the Harbor which is sick. They had an old shuffle board table which is my favorite so that made it instantly the best establishment I walked in that day lol. But the brew they have is sick and they also sell bottles of their house made spirits. Oh and they have a balcony over the water to eat at.

After trying several, including Allagash, this is the best brewery in Portland. Really impressive considering how much their trying to do. The atmosphere was a little pretentious even for a millenial but I would go again and again for the beer. Get the albino, its a parlor trick in your mouth.

After reading about this place in The NY Times, glad we went. Had a mix of small plates. Really enjoyed the wings, pork bellie and shishto. Cheese was quite bland so would skip the charcuterie board next time. Beer selection was great we walked way with 2x 35cl of Whisky too ☺️

A really fun bar. They do tasters of their beers and spirits so you can try lots. All the ones I tried were delicious. And the food we has was excellent too. We only had some snacks - cheesy brussel sprouts & the pretzel - but both highly recommended.

Fantastic tour, super helpful hostess/hosts. I waited to long to place a to go order before catching a cruise & the host went to the kitchen to verify how long it would take to make and got me out the door asap. Their whiskey is delicious!
