Lone Pine Brewery has teamed up with The Holy Donut to create a unique breakfast pop-up experience at the former's Old Orchard Beach taproom. This unique initiative blends craft beer culture with Maine’s iconic potato donuts. The collaboration builds on the brands’ existing relationship and emphasizes local pride and creative synergy.
Running Fridays through Sundays from May through summer, with a special Easter weekend preview on April 19, the breakfast pop-up series offers morning visitors an unconventional pairing of freshly made donuts with Lone Pine’s beers and cocktails in a scenic beachside setting.
The pop-up aims to fill a gap in Old Orchard Beach’s dining scene, where daytime craft beverage pairings are rare. Lone Pine Brewery and The Holy Donut also encourage social media engagement through a hashtag campaign — #LonePineHolyDonut — with prizes for shared photos.
