The Send Brewing Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in South Portland ME)

The Send Brewing Co. in South Portland, Maine is where craft beer and Japanese comfort food collide in a way that feels less like a gimmick and more like a well‑engineered plan. From hop‑laden, fruity IPAs to brooding, chocolate‑stained rich stouts, each brew is presented as a short story you can actually drink. The menu, a parade of Japanese‑inspired small plates and hearty entrees, lets you chase a pint with onion rings so crisp they could snap a tyre, or fried chicken that makes you wonder why you ever ate anything else.

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword here; the brewery weaves it into every barrel, can and kitchen surface, and even supplies a set of beautiful chopsticks as the official silverware (the founders, longtime collaborators, insisted on it). They also stock canned ciders, a modest sake list and a handful of wines, all chosen to complement the beer roster without stealing the spotlight. Patrons leave with a sense that something genuine has happened – a place where ambition doesn’t drown in pretension, but instead raises a glass to community and craftsmanship.
