Portland's Best Craft Beverages Bus Tour
Description
Most recognize Portland, Maine for its vast selection of local craft breweries. And while we retain the title for ‘most breweries per capita,’ we’re experiencing profound growth in our craft beverage scene including a range of spirits and locally produced wine. Neighborhoods like Portland’s East Bayside are brimming with craft beverage options to suit any taste, from Three of Strong’s small batch, organic rum to wines from Blue Lobster Urban Winery which are blended with Maine wild blueberries and apples from local orchards. The third stop of the tour concludes at the Portland Beer Hub, the home of Maine Brews Cruise, and a blend of beer bar and retail space in the bustling heart of Portland’s Old Port. As a bonus, all guests snag a 10% discount on additional draft and to-go purchases at the Portland Beer Hub. Please note that tour stops may change without notice due to events and the availability of staff at each venue.

It's nice to have a small group for this tour. There was plenty of time at each location to socialize and make new friends. We've been on other beer tours and the guides have been more entertaining and informative than this one. It also appeared that the last brewery was not prepared for our group of 9. We did get generous samples and a bottle of water after the second stop but no snack, contrary to the tour description. With 22 breweries in the area, we thought we'd see more of Portland but two of the three breweries were just a block from each other.
This tour was interesting and the tour guide was knowledgeable about the area and history of each brewery we visited. It was a nice small group experience.
Thank you so much for joining us on the Brewery Tour! Portland's history as a beer town is incredibly significant, and we know how much our guides enjoy the opportunity to highlight it. We're glad you had fun!
Chris was great. He even accommodated those who weren’t into beer!!
We're so glad to hear that you had a good time with Chris on the Brewery Tour! His knowledge of beer is only outshined by his desire to provide everyone in the group with a fun experience, so we're happy to hear he could accommodate some change on the tour.
