Bad Little Brewing Company

It's still available! With Mason's Brewing Company coming to Machias, it's never been a better time to invest in this area. This in-town historic stunner is solid, versatile, and an unbelievable steal at this price.

This was a great restaurant in South Portland. Its demise matches ours almost exactly (albeit over a longer period of time). Such a bummer. 

The owner posted a farewell message on Instagram that the restaurant would close Nov. 19.

This is a shockingly good deal. 

This gorgeous Italianate is on the National Register of Historic Places, has brand new water and sewer lines from the street, has a 600-amp new power supply, and sits on 1.25 acres right in town. We would keep it if we could. ❤️

Restaurant sale happening from 11 to 1 PM today at 101 Court St. in Machias. This has been advertised on Facebook Marketplace and some other groups for about a week and a half, but we figured we would mention it here as well. It’s a great time to come get some BLB memorabilia. Tons of coasters, some shirts, stickers. Fond memories…

On this day last year, we opened Bad Little Brewing Company. Very little had gone as planned, but we had persevered and were so happy to open. More things did not go right, but we still had an absolutely amazing run. Such great customers, so much great food and drink, and the support from so many of you was staggering.

So here we find ourselves one year later to the exact day listing the property for sale. The Clark Perry House at 101 Court Street is officially on the market. It would be the most amazing personal home or commercial property or mixed-use space. They simply do not build houses like this anymore.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the property. If anyone is interested, the front of the house has some improvements to be made in order to become a stunning residential space. The back of the house has some improvements to be made in order to be a two-story commercial space. But either part is certainly usable right away or for not much of an investment. The lot is large and has seemingly endless possibilities. We are sad to see this beautiful place go, but we are so proud that we were able to save it for someone else to realize its fullest potential.

One-of-a-kind property brimming with potential! ''Built like a tank'' by a lumber baron, the 1868 Italianate Clark Perry House is the only residence in Machias, Maine, on the National Register of Historic Places. It has lived through significant historical periods - both 1868 and the 1940's, when Cl...

UPDATE AND SALE...

Ever since we announced our intentions to open Bad Little Brewing Company in Machias, circumstances have been challenging. Negligent project management, COVID-related supply issues, inflation, and several bad actors in town ultimately tanked business once summer people and visitors left the area. Our business plan was solid and we tried to navigate the labor confines of the grant, which were released only mid-August, but if you don't have enough "butts in seats," it just won't work.

We have also reached our limit with the negativity and slander and don't have the heart and stamina to continue ignoring the relentless, uninformed, and unfair attacks. New rumors have been circulating, even by some local people who supported BLB. We aren't going to condescend ourselves to respond to ridiculous claims and petty rumors. We cannot control how gullible or distrustful people are, but we can state the facts: By no means are we making money off this venture; in fact, we are losing money, and it is only by the grace and generosity of our families that we are where we are. The town of Machias is not losing money either because the grant was closed. The town of Machias actually got its property taxes and sewer bills paid that the former owners did not pay, and it got back the Clark Perry House as a beacon of pride. We are glad that we could positively influence this community while we were here.

That our effort brought joy to so many people, that we were able to save the only residence in Machias on the National Register of Historic Places, and that we emerged with our family and health intact are consolations. We have also helped area entities through our partnerships, we have made some great friends, and we have the best neighbors anyone could ask for. We hope that people keep visiting Downeast Maine and that those in charge can find a sustainable way for the area to grow while protecting its history, local residents, and natural resources. We wish everyone luck.

As we have gotten our bearings, we have made some decisions. We will not be opening BLB again, and it and the Clark Perry House are FOR SALE. These can be bought together or separately. If you are interested in more information, please email us at [email protected].

BLB Overview: The BLB brand and branding materials, the trademark, and all 3.5-BBL tanks: $50,000. We can also sell the tanks as a set without the BLB brand, and we can sell individual tanks (1 HLT, 1 mash tun, 1 kettle, 3 jacketed fermenters, and 1 brite tank). We will send photos and specs as needed. Restaurant equipment will be sold separately.

CPH Overview: Without a broker, $695,000. With a broker, $740,000. 1.25-acre, surveyed lot with plenty of remaining undeveloped outdoor space. Lucrative short-term rental and event space potential, amazing showboat residence, full commercial or mixed use--truly endless options. Sold as-is.
