We visited only once after the redo and never returned as a group, though I visited a few times for special events and such. A sad ending to a once-great brand.Pete Dunlophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456380762400522665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738527488860615106.post-59569118093260653182019-02-15T13:31:08.634-08:002019-02-15T13:31:08.634-08:00This used to be one of our favorite places to go. ...This used to be one of our favorite places to go. Family and friends always descended on the Brewpub. Beer, Pizza, pretzels, darts and cheer.<br />I hosted multiple work parties upstairs and down. The remodel of the pub was a huge mistake. I went one time and never returned again. I even miss the large, old bank urinal in the men’s room.<br />I will propose a toast this weekend to all of the good times and tasty pints.

It rounded out a catalog of balanced, well-made British style ales that made BridgePort what it was and should have remained. I loved BridgePort for the pales, the ESB, the porter, the stout, the barley wine! When those went away, I went away, and the rest of Portland did, too. Those who were there at the start abandoned ship!<br /><br />The remodel was jaw droppingly egregious and depressing. Where was Portland's pub? It saddens me that it came to this, but it is not surprising. It's simply a shame.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187789098936559130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738527488860615106.post-69473116751560391152019-02-14T14:34:04.467-08:002019-02-14T14:34:04.467-08:00He left on his own in 1992.

Many Heritage brands that just did not change quick enough. BrewDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307071320367945969noreply@blogger.com
