    2 Feet Brewing

    Bangor, Maine, United States

    2 Feet Brewing is a family-run brewpub in the heart of Downtown Bangor that features craft brews created by Cory Ricker, and pub fare and desserts made by his wife, Nit-Noi. Their son, Zak, manages the pub, which is open daily on Columbia Street. The signature beer at 2 Feet is the Barn Burner - a dark Saison seasoned with roasted jalapeΓ±os and ghost pepper. It's hot, but not "in your face" spicy. We usually have a sour beer on tap and we're making a series of Unfortunate IPAs, that just get better with each brew. With 6 taps, "We Have A Brew For You." Hope to see you soon. Cheers!
