Most definitely a bucket list experience. This little gem of a brewery could easily be accidentally missed when you drive by but it would only be your loss. Lets just say it right away. Great food, excellent beer, cool vibe, and I can only guess by the stage, some very talented local music. Every question I ask was greeted with an answer and a smile from their knowledgeable staff. This establishment is considered tip free through comfortable wages. If you are as blown away as we were, any extra money given after the bill is donated to rotating different charities local and world wide.

Just have to say I love this place! The wide selection of brews rivals much bigger breweries and always hits the mark for flavor and substance. First time ordering off their food menu. Impressed by the variety of choices and reasonable prices. The chicken and waffles with real maple syrup was a tasty and satisfying combination!

We stopped by after dropping my child at college. Nice outdoor seating, we did a flight tasting and got some poutine. Not a low calorie experience but tasty. Interesting flavors for the beers. Very good and welcoming service. Safety strictly adhered to.We still love Side by. Great onion soup and donut. Worth a stop.

Unique place! Good food, beer and coffee! What more could you ask for? Friendly staff and great band on a Friday night. Will definitely be back for breakfast and coffee!

I didn't expect from the outside and had a TARDIS moment when I walked in. "It's bigger on the inside!"Good selection of beer on tap. Reasonable prices. Quality coffee and breakfast goods as well. The option to grab poutine from PinkyDs is great.

Wow this is a great place. They have a huge variety of beers from Belgian Tripels to Ambers to Lagers to Hefewiesens. The food is real good and there's a ton of space for big groups. We brought a cake for a friend's birthday and they gave us plates and silverware which they didn't need to do but they were real friendly. I'll definitely be back.

Me and my husband went recently. We sat on the patio with our dog. They gave us a water bowl for her. I got the chicken and waffles. Loved the chicken but the waffles were really dense. My husband got a burger it was awesome. Their soda are great and my husband liked the pineapple express beer.

It's a great place to get, a surprisingly, a high variety of food and amazing beer, that they brew them selves. They have some of the friendliest employees.

The system went down while we where putting our food order so they didn't know that our order didn't go through so we waited 40 minutes but the manager was courteous enough and very nice that she gave us a 40 dollar gift card our experience was over all very nice

Food was decent, drinks are better, entertainment the best. Lots of events, quizzes, knitting, karaoke, and music. Wish their affogato had more ice cream.

Today was my first trip back to SXE Brewing from Texas in two years. The beer is still awesome, and I was impressed by the recent improvements. The food quality and options were great, and being able to buy fresh roasted coffee was a bonus. Great, attentive staff!

Side By Each has been my favorite brewery in town since they opened but recently has become one of my favorite restaurants as well. Even when busy the staff is quick and on point and I’ve yet to be disappointed by the food or the beer.

Nice location. Their beers are pretty good. I like that they have hard seltzer where you pick the flavor. They usually have a food truck and live music. A nice place to stop!

I just finished my first meal here and I wanted to say how impressed I was. Service was absolutely top notch. They were so accommodating by letting my dog sit with me on their awesome patio and brought her water along with plenty of attention. The menu had tons of options and my chopped sandwich was very good. I can’t wait to come back for brunch and try the rest of their delicious beer. Please give this place a try!

We came in for a late lunch. When we walked in, everyone behind the counter kinda looked at us funny, then greeted us. There was a brief explanation of ordering and picking up your drinks/food. The food menu was TINY, with very basic items.The beer selection looked promising, so we ordered a a couple of beers and a couple of site-made soda. The beer was boring. It initially has a decent flavor, then things fells apart. For a brewing company, we expected a lot better. The soda was watered down, so we didn't bother drinking it.Food-wise, the cheeseburgers are really good. They tasted like ones you'd fry up at home. The fries are weird and floppy. The salt-n-vinegar wings were GOOD, but didn't taste much like salt or vinegar. Buffalo flavored wings were pretty good too.We spent $80 for two large beers, two small sodas, two orders of wing and two cheeseburgers. That seemed excessive, especially since the beer was not that good. It took a long time for our food to actually come out, so keep that in mind if you're starving when you arrive. They leave the drinks on the counter where you order, and you get a buzzer thing for when the food is ready.The chef came out and asked about the food, which was nice. The young lady who took the orders was nice. The guys cooking were nice. One of the ladies behind that counter was rude. On my way to the restroom, she was looking at me while talking, so I thought she was talking to me. I asked her what she said and she told me she was talking to someone else and that I could go. Really? Quit staring at people if you aren't talking to them.We had high hopes for this place, and were disappointed overall. The ambiance is non-existent and the service is decent. For the crazy prices, it just wasn't worth it for us.

Great selection of beers, nice open seating, friendly bar tenders, and the poutine "truck inside" had a great selection of flavors. Definitely a must see

My wife and I come here at least once a week and love it. The staff are all friendly and many have become like family. The beers are always changing, so there's always something new to try. Can't recommend this place enough!Very excited for the new menu. The cheeseburger was excellent! Looking forward to trying other things when the full menu is released!

Completely awesome experience! So many things to try and the owners are right on hand to recommend and tell you all about the product. The beer and the coffee were phenomenal, not to mention Pinky D's Poutine Factory right on site! We will be back many times!

One of the most diverse local micro breweries around. A real dedication to classic European beer styles while also hitting the trending market. They brew consistent quality brews true to fassion, but also do original experimental brews as well.Their support of other local businesses is fantastic with the quality baked goods, partnership with an amazing pizzeria, and some of the most fantastic espresso based drinks and coffee using local farm milk and beans. Can't forget the awesome poutine from Pinky D's Poutine as well to polish off a complete dining/brew experience. The CSB membership program is great for frequent stop in people like myself with a nice discount and regular growler fills. On top of the phenomenal customer service and genuine friendliness from Matt, Ben, and the rest of the staff they have a no tip policy and believe in paying/treating their staff right.Support your local owned business and check out Side by Each. Even if I move out of the area I will still make sure to stop in frequently to check out the ton of different beers rotating on tap.

So many interesting and great tasting brews. Coffees are terrific too. Now they have quite a nice variety of pub fare. I love to go during the day and work online while people-watching. So much better than alone at home!

Assumed this was the typical brewery where someone with a gluten intolerance or celiac couldn't eat or get a beer. Totally surprised that they have GF beer, a dedicated fryer for fries, etc, and GF options for burgers that does not mean wrapping your burger in lettuce. The fries were great, the burger was delish, even the GF bun! Haven't had a beer in forever, I would recommend trying them out!

I'm really impressed! This super-clean brewery is firing on all cylinders. So many beers to choose from and they all were tasty! (Ok, I didn't try them all in the first visit) I was very impressed with the maibock and stars of the southern hemisphere. Be sure to try the team player pre-prohibition as well. For food, you have the poutine factory. What's more to ask? Will worth the stop if you're passing through Auburn, or have business there. It's a bit off the Lewiston path where the other breweries are, but worth the trip. You won't be disappointed. I only wish they had some cans to go.

Great place! Lots of beer choices, something for literally everyone. Plus wine on tap! They offer soda drinks that they will mix for you. They have a full coffee bar with just about any type of drink (barista style). Pinky D's Poutine truck is built into the building so plenty of things to munch on. There are arcade games, board games and toys for the kiddos. Nice place to take your family. The staff are extremely friendly. Go check it out for a great time!
