Norway Brewing Company
The Norway Brewing Company seems to be a good addition to the hot Maine (and New England) craft beer scene. It's location is out of the way, unless it is, of course, on your way to something else (Sunday River / Lake Sebago). Let's face it, it's probably what a town like Norway, ME needs.

Where is Norway Brewing located?
The Norway Brewing Company is located in Norway, ME, about an hour out of Portland. It's a short ride to Sebago Lake (30 minutes) and about 45 minutes to the Sunday River Ski Resort.
So, if you're the skiing/boating type (who isn't?!), you can double dip a trip to Norway Brewing either on your way to your Newry Ski House, or stroll on up from your Frye Island Lake House.
Forget coffee, imagine sipping a Mr. Grumpy Pants as you breath in the morning mountain air from your porch?
Yes, we are advocating for a beer breakfast.

Final Thoughts on the Norway Brewing Company
Interesting fact to take note of ... they shut the kitchen down for an hour (3-4pm) on Saturdays and Sundays. Be warned.
And, kudos to Norway Brewing for the growler haiku.
