## About

Argenta is a brewery and tasting room in West Bayside and Portland, Maine’s only “lager beer saloon!”

Ryan Dunlap, owner and operator, is originally from Nevada where the word, Argenta, first inspired him.  Argenta was a silver mine in the 1860’s but quickly crumbled and now sits as one of the hundreds of ghost towns in the state. This silver mine was the namesake of Ryan’s college dorm, and thus a beer company was born.   

“What drives us here at Argenta is very simple: leave it better than you found it.  We can all strive to leave everything a little better than how we found it.” - Ryan
