Goodfire started in 2017 as Dr. David Redding’s home brewing project. Soon the hobby turned into a monster of an obsession, and Goodfire Brewing Co. officially launched on November 9, 2017 with head brewer Gordon Jones.

Throughout the years, we’ve kept our concentration on developing consistent, high-quality beer. Our expert brewers, now led by Katie Miller with assistant brewer Patrick Lockwood, focus on soft, unfiltered New England IPAs while also dabbling in German-style lagers.

We opened our second location, Goodfire Tasting Room & Kitchen in Freeport, in 2022 with Head Chef Ben Christie and General Manager Kevin Nelson.

Expanding the strong foundation we developed in Portland, we are thrilled to now showcase a full food menu to complement our tasty brews. Freeport offers a 3,000 sq. foot indoor dining room with counter service and optional QR code ordering, 24 taps featuring our beer, house-made cocktails, N/A options, and wine! It has a private event space that serves up to 30 guests, a dog-friendly outdoor patio for the warmer months, and a family-friendly kids’ menu.

Our community—including our team, our customers, and our vendors—mean the world to us. As we expand into our new location in Freeport, we strive to grow intentionally and with a relentless focus on quality control while continuing to cultivate our small but mighty Goodfire family.
