  • Summary

  • You’re about to hear the story of Matt Swan and the late Tumbledown Brewery from Farmington, Maine.


    Opened in 2014 and closed late 2025, Matt’s experience is varied and truly interesting.


    His is the first brewery we’ve talked to from Maine and the only one with a red ale as it’s flagship. We cover a lot of ground from distribution, burnout, capitalization and contract brewing.

    One of my favorite parts of this story is that he opened as the only brewery around for miles and the only brewery in Farmington. But a farmhouse taphouse/restaurant opened right before Covid and put the screws to his business.

    How are people still telling me there’s always room for one more brewery?


    Anyways, Matt is a truly cool guy that was open, honest and willing to share everything he learned in 11 years. He and I both hope it helps you to understand a little better, How NOT To Start A Damn Brewery.
