NEARBY OGUNQUIT: Batson River Brewing & Distilling in Kennebunk’s Lower Village

Batson River Brewing & Distilling - Kennebunk, Maine

Looking for a new drinking and dining experience on one of your Kennebunkport-bound day-trips from Ogunquit?

If so, you’ll definitely want to stop by the recently-opened Batson River Brewing and Distilling in the Lower Village of Kennebunk (at the former site of Tia’s Topside). Named after the Batson River in nearby Cape Porpoise, this buzz-worthy brewery and distillery is drawing crowds — even in the off-season!

The doors at Batson River Brewing and Distilling opened in November 2018 – and you’ll enjoy their rotating selection of craft beers (in multiple styles) PLUS cocktails comprised of their handcrafted spirits, which all have flavor signatures tied to ‘hops and botanicals grown on a centuries-old farm on Maine’s southern coast, where the Batson River winds by the farm to marshlands to the shores of Goose Rocks Beach.

Food consists of highly-shareable (and delicious), small plate offerings firmly footed in the comfort cuisine arena – and all at exceedingly reasonable price points. See the sample menu in our related images.

The building itself has been transformed from its prior bright white color scheme – and is now dominated by atmospheric dark wood hues with hunting lodge accents. The lively downstairs bar – and dining room – have high-top seating. And the upstairs now has some serious casual/cozy hangout vibes

The covered front porch (with vinyl weather-protection windows) is perfect for those chilly shoulder-season days – and we are looking forward to seeing the second story deck open for business! We’re certain that area is destined to be some seriously-prime, see-and-be-seen, sunshiny-seating-real-estate this summer – with sweeping views towards Kennebunkport’s Dock Square!

Be sure to stop by — and give Batson River Brewing and Distilling a well-deserved visit!
