Review of Apponaug Brewing Company

Honestly, just grateful this place exists. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about gluten in cooking. They have a separate fryer and take precautions. They have a variety of gluten free options. I got the cajun chicken nachos with house-made chips. Partner got the tacos. The food was solid, but even if it wasn’t, I don’t think I’d really care. Finally we have a low-stakes easy place people will want to hang at that is both safe and enjoyable for folks with celiac. It’s a great place for dates, drinks with friends, etc.

Apponaug also has three beers from groundbreaker brewing in portland and I think the beers rotate (?). FWIW, they have a pale ale, IPA, and brown ale each sold in 16 oz cans. Also had a few ciders, don’t remember which ones, wine, cocktails, two mocktails. And for your company, also have two NA beers from Athletic in addition to Apponaug’s brews.

Price-wise gf beers are about $10 and food is what you’d expect ($12-$18 depending on what you want). Apponaugs brews range $2-$8 depending on the brew and size of the glass.
