E-Malt.com News article: USA, ME: Mason's Brewing Company expands to Machias

Fans of Maine-made brews and pub grub are in luck - Mason's Brewing Company has expanded to Machias, Fox22 reported on May 2.

Mason's Downeast officially opened to the public just over a week ago, and Mason's Brewing Company owner Chris Morley says the reception has been overwhelmingly positive - to the point that they nearly ran out of food to serve during opening weekend and closed down temporarily to restock.

"I'm ecstatic. Just the way the community has embraced us. It's nice to be part of a tight-knit community - in the same way Brewer has been very good to us - we've become a community-based restaurant," said Morley.

The eatery has since reopened and features all the familiar favorites included at the Brewer location - with the exception of a few new dishes that have a touch of what Morley calls "Downeast flair."

"We've added lobster-tails to hamburgers, we've got a couple of crab specials. We have a fried haddock burger that's done in beer batter," said Morley.

Mason's Downeast sits at 78 Main Street in Machias - the former home of the Bluebird Ranch Family Restaurant, and is open Wednesday through Monday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
