Amazing craft beers…very friendly staff…the best pizza I ever had. I can’t wait to return!

"Nestled in what seems like a residential area, Bigelow is a hidden gem in Central Maine. We stumbled upon this place based off Yelp! reviews…and it was better than expected. The outdoor setup was great, employees were great, beer was great and the pizza was great too. That's four 'greats' in one sentence and we'd definitely go back again!"

Bigelow History

How Bigelow Came to Be

The story of Skowhegan’s beloved Bigelow Brewing Company starts when Pam and Jeff met at Skowhegan Area High School in 1978. They started dating as Juniors, and have been together for 43 years. Pam says, “it helps to have a lot of beer,” in regards to that incredible and long feat.

Years later, in 1989, Pam purchased a home brewing kit for Jeff for Christmas. He brewed his first Batch that January. Though the first batch didn’t come out as expected, on his second brew he fell in love with the process and knew he wanted to open a brewery one day.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BIGELOW?

I was originally hired to fill a kitchen position but I also was able to fill the not-yet-established social media/marketing position, which was my end goal anyway!

Favorite style of beer?

I don’t discriminate. I gravitate towards hoppy ones, though.

Favorite Bigelow Beer?

Dementia Dog but it makes me make too many typos when I’m trying to work. Jailbreak Chocolate Chili Stout is my alternate when I’m in the mood.

Favorite non-Bigelow Beer?

I like to try whatever is most funky, unique, or new to me when I’m out and about. Boomsauce by Lord Hobo is usually my go-to otherwise.

Most Likely to be overheard?

“WAIT. Lemme take a picture!”
