Located just outside of Augusta, about an hour's drive from Portland, the Liberal Cup Public House and Brewery has become a magnet for craft beer and entertainment fans in the western Maine mountains. This pub features a warm, inviting atmosphere with plenty of charm. Patrons enjoy sitting back with their favorite craft ale – brewed right at Liberal Cup – as they enjoy listening to performances by top local musical talent. The craft beer menu features full bodied, tasty, and satisfying ales with such names as Bug Lager, State Budget Red Ale (a nod to nearby Augusta, the state capitol); Sow Your Oats Stout, Drummer's Lane Brown Ale and Ex-Wife Bitter. The menu feature above average pub dishes including steaks, seafood, and creative salads. Well worth the trip for those touring the wilds of western Maine.
