Baxter Brewing Co. | 419 followers on LinkedIn. From the heart of an old mill town. | Whether it’s cotton tarps or beer taps, we believe hard work starts when the sun rises and doesn’t stop until the job’s done. That’s why, in 2010, we opened Baxter Brewing Co. in the iconic Lewiston Bates Mill. From the weavers and millwrights that once occupied the mill to the modern-day brewer you’ll meet when you pull up a stool, we all share the common traits of grit, determination and passion.
