Swine & Stein Brewfest - Gardiner, Maine
Gardiner’s most popular event of the year is back! Swine and Stein Brewfest, brought to you by Gardiner Main Street, takes over Gardiner’s historic downtown Water Street with all-day samples from 20+ of Maine’s best craft beverage makers in an open air beer garden. Gardiner Main Street's annual fall street festival also features delicious pork and other tasty options from food vendors, a full lineup of great music, along with fun and entertaining games all day-long.
ALL DAY SAMPLING
Established in 2009, Swine & Stein Brewfest celebrates the diversity of Maine’s craft beverage producers. Twenty plus breweries, meaderies, cideries and distilleries will be serving samples in the open air beer garden all day long. The options are different every year, making no two year's events alike!
From barrel aged beers to mead and cider, you’ll enjoy brews and blends not always found at the store, for a true handcrafted, small batch experience. To tantalize all taste buds, hard cider, wine, mead and craft spirits will also be on tap. Enjoy local favorites like Bateau Brewing, Cushnoc Brewing and Absolem Cidery, as well as craft beverage producers from across the state. Taste the day away with all day sampling – no beer tickets needed! General admission begins at 1pm, or come early for the exclusive VIP tasting hour at 12pm .

A PARTY IN THE STREET
We’re partnering with Johnson Hall to create a day filled with outstanding music lineup of Maine’s best and emerging bands. Bands are currently being finalized and will be posted as soon as confirmed.
Crowd pleasing quirky games add to the festivities on the street. For the eleventh year, participants will groom, style, and dress their facial hair in the hope of being named “best in show” in the Annual Beard and Mustache Competition. Try your luck at the intense Rock Paper Scissors Championship, Corn Hole, Giant Jenga, Pass the Pigs or the Frozen T-shirt Race!
DON'T FORGET THE PORK!
An array of food trucks and local restaurants will be serving up incredible pork varieties, along with other creative dishes for all appetites.
Don’t miss out on this outdoor, urban brew fest in the setting of one of Maine’s most charming main streets!
