“ THE KENNEBEC RIVER BREWERY OPENED AT THE MAIN LODGE IN 1996... The Kennebec River Brewery opened at the main lodge in 1996, after several staff members began playing around with the thought of creating their own microbrews. The relaxed atmosphere of the brewery makes for a great ending to your daily activities, as they pour you a cold Big Mama Blueberry Ale, or a Bear Naked Black Lager. These originals are just a few of what the brewery offers, with Bear Naked being a German “dunkel” that is smooth, creamy, and chocolatey. The Big Mama is self- explanatory; a blonde ale with natural blueberry flavoring and a fruity aroma. If you’re in the mood for a surprise, try the Brewer’s Choice, which is “whatever Mike feels like brewing” that day. Whether you feel like heading out for a day of elk or deer hunting in the southwest, or spending your vacation time whitewater rafting and camp- ing out in the northern Maine woods in a luxury cabin, these resorts are here to make sure that you are more than satisfied with your pick of a rustic retreat. Plenty of wood carvings and plaid, amazing outdoor ex- peditions, good food, and great people, make for an unforgettable stay, and top ratings ensure the upmost satisfaction every time.
