Dinefest
October 23 through October 31
Celebrate the culinary arts in southern Maine at participating restaurants.

Dinefest is a traditional “restaurant week” full of culinary delights at a pre-fixed price provided by many of our local restaurants. The week, October 23 through October 30, kicks off with a unique day celebrating the many fabulous coffees and craft beers of our region. It’s called BREWFEST, and it will be held on Saturday, October 23! This event is being held in partnership with the Maine Brewers’ Guild. During the day, cafes will serve non-alcoholic specialty drinks and demonstrate the many flavors of teas and coffees available. That evening, participating restaurants will feature one or more Maine craft beer, along with an appropriate entrée to partner with the beer choice. Some venues will also offer special entertainment. This project is under development. Please check this website (www.maineoktoberfest.com) throughout the month of September as we build the number of participants and begin to market their offerings! (This is not a bar-hopping event---it’s more like a wine tasting at your favorite watering hole, except you’ll be enjoying Maine craft beer!)

The Maine Brewers' Guild is a non-profit corporation dedicated to promoting the craft brewed industry in Maine. Their mission is to keep Maine in the forefront of the microbrew revolution by offering high quality and creative diversity for the customer. Since 1986, Maine has been at the forefront of the craft brew movement. Our state is home to over 20 breweries, which produce more than 100 different brands. Cheers!
