Baxter Brewing Co.

140 Mill Street
http://baxterbrewing.com
https://www.pubatbaxter.com/
Call: 333-6769

Whether it’s cotton tarps or beer taps, we believe hard work starts when the sun rises and doesn’t stop until the job’s done. That’s why, in 2010, we opened Baxter Brewing Co. in the iconic Lewiston Bates Mill. From the weavers and millwrights that once occupied the mill to the modern-day brewer you’ll meet when you pull up a stool, we all share the common traits of grit, determination and passion.

For us, that meant becoming the first brewery in New England to can all its beer. Why? Because it’s sustainable, it tastes better, and because it doesn’t require an opener. (We still prefer to work with our hands.) You see, there are some things Mainers just know to be true, like the importance of having a beer for every season. Sure, sometimes that means four different beers in a day, but we’re not here to judge. So, if you’re not sure if it’s shorts weather or jacket weather, you’ll know it’s Baxter weather regardless.

We’d like to share this mentality with you, preferably over a cold Stowaway. Because no matter if you’re from Maine, or you’re “from away”, when you’re holding a Baxter, you’re one of us.

Parking: Parking available at multiple lot and parking garages

The Hartley Block

155 Lisbon Street
www.szantoncompany.com/thehartleyblock

In 2004 and 2006, four connected historic buildings on Lisbon Street suffered extensive fire damage and were condemned and demolished, leaving a gaping hole in Lewiston’s most iconic street.
In 2018 the Szanton Company took the initiative to rebuild from the ground up and constructed what is now known as The Hartley Block. A mixed-use, mixed-income project, it features 63 apartments aimed at a diversity of income groups and 4,000 sq.ft. of retail space along Lisbon Street. The project features a fitness center, community room, children’s playroom, dedicated bike storage room, wi-fi and covered parking directly behind the building. Amenities within easy walking distance include the public library (across the street), shops, restaurants, cafes, and two major parks.

This project adds momentum to downtown Lewiston’s resurgence, including street-level public art at the entrance. Two 9-foot mosaic tile works, after Marsden Hartley paintings, animate its facade.
