No one is more excited about the warming temps than us here at the Brewster House.  The Adirondack chairs are on the porch, a fresh line up of “Porch Pounder” craft beers are on tap and the fan favorite- Pizza from Scratch cooking class is back: Sun, Fun, Great Food & Craft Beer Await.

June traditionally ushers in stretches of sunny days here on our slice of the Maine Coast.  So Freeport plays host to some great special events and we delight in hosting new and familiar faces here at the Inn.

First Up….Girlfriends Getaway Weekend (June 1-3).

Shop, Stay & Play

Stores will be teeming with sales, style tips, custom fittings and more.  Plan your weekend away to shop, dine, play and stay at the Brewster House.  We’re hosting a special “PRO night” Cooking Class specially created for this weekend.  Check out the Pizza, Rose & OverNIGHT special.

Then comes Maine Womens Ride (June 10th).  The Maine’s Women’s Ride is a celebration of women and bicycling. The event offers a friendly, supportive atmosphere geared toward girls and women of all ages and abilities. The routes follow quiet roads, offering beautiful views of the Maine coast and countryside. Fuel up with Dave’s delicious warm granola and then come home and toast your accomplishment with a glass of Channing Daughters Rose or a cold, craft beer on tap from Maine Beer Company.

Enjoy our rotating selection

Don’t Worry Guys! …we haven’t forgotten about you.  Fathers Day is a great excuse to get away from it all and come to shop LL Beans Hunting and Fishing store; it offers all the gear you need to visit one of over a hundred local fishing spots.  Dave will let you in on a few of his faves and then you can return home to a cold beer on the porch.  Chef Dave has been laboring over all the summer Craft Beer selections for #BigBrewstah and needs your input.

RESERVE your luxury room with our delicious 3 course breakfast every morning.   Mention “Goodbye MUDSEASON” and we’ll treat you to a complimentary flight of beer or a bottle of bubbles just for reading this entire post:)

Seems odd to think about spring as we await the anticipated 12 inches of a snowy March lion. But here at the Brewster House we love when the babies arrive and get equally excited by the maple sap flowing and flowers in bloom.

Beat the rush to Freeport by visiting us in March, take advantage of the lower spring rates and enjoy myriad activities that surround us:

Welcome the babies at the Out Like a Lamb event at Wolfs Neck on March 17th from 9a-2p

Take in the Beauty of the Maine Flower Show March 22-25th on Thompson’s Point in Portland.  The Maine Flower Show is one of the biggest gardening and horticultural shows in the region, and this year, more than ever, it is Rooted in Maine.

Maine Maple Sunday, March 25th, is celebrated all over the state. But you can enjoy amber gold right here when you with the deliciousness that Dave has cooked up…

All our guests are invited to join us daily to check the buckets and sample the delicious sap.

RESERVE your fireplace room today and check out the SPRING AHEAD special when you stay with us for 3 nights.

Comfort awaits

SPA weekend fast approaches and we are so pleased to play host to the many spinners, knitters, crocheters, and talented crafts people that descend on Freeport February 23-25th, 2018.

Our cozy parlour is the perfect way to relax after a day of visiting the vendors and chatting with fellow SPA goers down the street from us.  The fireplace along with our 5 tap kegerator and wine selection make for a perfect backdrop to relax, unwind- perhaps set up a spinning wheel – and truly enjoy the weekend away.

Dave’s delicious 3 course breakfast will get you started for the day, the only downside is you might be distracted with thoughts of the next day’s scrupulous menu.

Reserve one of our luxury rooms with a fireplace, private bath, keurig coffee maker, and robes with slippers!   Mention this post and we’ll kick off the fun with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco or flight of craft beers when you spend 2 nights.
