Some partnerships just feel like summer in Maine.
This year, Casco Bay Lines is proud to welcome Bissell Brothers as the lead sponsor of the Cruising Casco Bay Concert Series. A natural collaboration for two Maine-born brands known for bringing people together to create unforgettable memories.
Since opening its doors in Portland in 2013, Bissell Brothers has grown from a small neighborhood brewery into one of Maine’s most recognizable craft beverage brands. Along the way, the team has remained committed to producing exceptional drinks while creating welcoming spaces where people can gather, connect, and celebrate. That spirit makes Bissell Brothers a natural partner for our concert series.
Now in its seventh season, the Cruising Casco Bay Concert Series has become a beloved summer tradition. From July through September, we welcome island residents, Greater Portland locals, and visitors from around the world aboard the Bay Mist. Every cruise offers live music, spectacular views, and a floating dance floor.
This summer, you can enjoy several Bissell Brothers favorites at our onboard cash bar. The lineup includes Substance Ale on draft, along with cans of Precept Pilsner, Bissell Breeze Hard Tea, and Bissell Fizz Vodka Seltzers.
Like Casco Bay Lines, Bissell Brothers is proudly rooted in Maine and committed to creating experiences that bring people together. Its Thompson’s Point brewery has become a popular year-round gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
We’re grateful to Bissell Brothers for serving as the lead sponsor of this year’s Cruising Casco Bay Concert Series. Their support helps us continue showcasing talented Maine musicians while creating memorable summer evenings on the water.
Whether you’re coming for the music, the views, the local beverages—or all three—we hope you’ll join us aboard this summer. But don’t wait too long—three of the six shows have already sold out!
We’ll see you on the water!
