Rising Tide Brewing

Rising Tide is an independent family-owned craft brewery anchoring Portland's East Bayside neighborhood. The tasting room lets visitors enjoy cold beers and hot food from partner restaurant Ugly Duckling.

Atmosphere and Setting

The tasting room is a casual brewery setting where music is part of the weekly rhythm. It is open seven days a week with Sunday hours ending earlier at 6:00 PM.

Tuesday Bluegrass Night

Every Tuesday from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM the East Bayside Bluegrass Collective takes over the tasting room. The night is hosted by Joe K. Walsh and Steve Roy and features rotating musicians. The event is free with no cover charge and the Bluegrass Music Association of Maine lists it as welcoming all skill levels. Music starts at 7:00 PM and guests are encouraged to arrive early.

Other Programming

Rising Tide also runs regular brewery events beyond the bluegrass night so check the events page for the current lineup.

For Performers

Pickers who want to join in should introduce themselves to the hosts early since the night centers on the collective's rotating lineup.
