Found in the heart of Portland, Maine, Orange Bike Brewing Company proudly holds the title of the state’s first dedicated gluten-free brewery.

Yes, it’s gluten-free, but take one sip and you’d never guess it.

The beer here challenges anything you’ll find among Portland’s bustling brewery scene, making Orange Bike an essential stop on any taproom tour.

Step inside and you’ll find a space buzzing with energy. Between live music, local events, and a laid-back crowd, the brewery captures Portland’s creative spirit perfectly.

But what makes Orange Bike truly special goes beyond the beer.

Right next door is Bite Into Maine, a beloved local spot that happens to pair perfectly with Orange Bike’s gluten-free standards. Here, you can order a range of gluten-free lobster rolls served on genuinely tasty gluten-free buns and no cardboard texture in sight.

Even better, they offer mini rolls, letting you sample from a mouthwatering lineup that includes classics like the Maine Lobster Roll and adventurous options like Wasabi, Chipotle, Curry, Connecticut, and Picnic styles.

Grab your tray, head next door, and enjoy your rolls with a pint of Orange Bike’s finest. It’s Portland perfection.

Bike also stands out for another reason: its dedication to inclusivity. Recently, the brewery launched a non-alcoholic gluten-free stout and the country’s first non-alcoholic, dedicated gluten-free American Pale Ale. These releases are game-changers for craft beer fans who are gluten-free or those who are choosing to go alcohol-free.
