Maine Raft Guide and Brewer: Matt Bateman
Maine’s Penobscot River is Matt’s favorite whitewater trip to guide, and any Kennebec River Brewery IPA is his choice post rafting beer.

Mike does it all around here: whitewater rafting guide, hunting guide, snowmobiling guide, and (perhaps most importantly) head brewer of on-site Kennebec River Brewery!
3rd rafting trip in the last two summers and I can’t say enough great things about Northern Outdoors. We highly recommend Northern Outdoors!
The Kennebec site was beautiful. Hiking on several spectacular trails. The Lodge had cold beer and great food. Will definitely do it again.
They do provide anything you may need if you’re not prepared. If you’re reading this and contemplating about going, just book it! It’s safe and an absolute BLAST!
A lodge and brewery deep in the Maine woods that guides whitewater rafting trips by day and throws a totally rad 80’s dance party by night.
Our family made life long memories that are priceless to us all. Thanks you for everything – the whole Northern Outdoors team was amazing!
We had such a good time with Northern Outdoors for my bachelor party. We did whitewater rafting on the Kennebec river and it was a blast.
When you have two distinct passions (in this case, rafting and handcrafted brews), it’s quite a feat of organization and dedication to combine them at the same time, in the same place. But that’s exactly what Jim Yearwood did here at Northern Outdoors when he opened up a microbrewery right at our resort. In 1997, the Kennebec River Brewery tapped its first handcrafted microbrew and the rest is delicious history.
Take a look inside the Kennebec River Brewery and learn how we make our handcrafted ales and lagers from our Master Brewer at Northern Outdoors.
