It opened February 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Slate Belt Brewing in Bangor we received very positive feedback on our beer, food and cocktails but there just wasn\u2019t enough revenue to consistently cover our operating costs,\u201d Kerrigan said. \u201cUltimately it made personal and financial sense to move on from the business and close our doors. What we were successful at was giving the community a place to come relax and enjoy life. We made many new friends, had a ton of laughs and hosted many great musicians. We have no regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kerrigan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcall.com\/2025\/01\/28\/new-brewpub-to-open-at-old-bangor-trust-property\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">previously said<\/a> the property was constructed in the early 1900s.
