Brew Bus Holiday Gift Ideas
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, the time in which we all struggle to find just the right gifts for family, friends, and co-workers. To make this time a little easier, here are some holiday gift ideas from us!
Tour Gift Cards
Gift cards really are the perfect gift. They are available in any amount, they can be printed out or e-mailed to the recipient, redeemed for an available tour online right on our website, and they never expire!
Most of our tours are priced at $74.99 per person. Our most popular tour is The Casco Fiasco, it is priced at $87.99 per person. If you are looking to buy a gift card for 2, most people purchase a value of $149.98 which will pay in full for the vast majority of our tours.
If you would prefer an actual physical card delivered to you by First-Class U.S. Mail, please purchase the gift card online and then contact us at maine@brewscruise.com with a mailing address no later than December 20th to ensure a timely Christmas delivery.
Maine Brew Bus Items
Our Maine Brew Bus logos, first designed in 2014 by local graphic artist Scott Whitehouse, were created to describe our company and our brand which was very new at the time.
Scott gave our brand a defined palette of green, gold, cream, and brown.
He also gave our brand a sort of National Parks feel which is fitting for the adventurous traveler who is excited to discover Maine.
To make the green bus highly recognizable, he decided to turn it into an actual logo.
The result is a fun and flexible brand identity that has grown with our business.

Beercationland Items
This logo, designed by local graphic artist Scott Whitehouse, features several items of symbolism.
Front and center is the word Beercationland, a twist on the Maine slogan of “Vacationland” that originated with railroad publicists in the late 1800s and has appeared on Maine’s license plates since 1935.
The Beercationland term is enclosed in a scroll. That scroll is similar in design to one found on the Maine State Seal, it’s the one containing the state motto Dirigo, Latin for “I lead”.
Those two elements are over an outline of the State of Maine, a dark version that features a prominent hop cone over the area of Aroostook County. A majority of Maine’s hop yards can be found in this area of the state.
The hop cone seems to be reaching for the sun, symbolizing the fact that Maine’s grain growers and hop producers have a strong relationship to the sun in order to make quality products for use in beer.
The sun is set against an outline of our mountains, showing the source for the great quality water that makes Maine’s beer among the best in the world. The snowpack in the mountains melts off each spring to replenish streams, rivers, lakes, and wells with quality water that can then be used to make amazing beer.
Finally, along Maine’s rocky coastline is the unique one-syllable name of our state, and a star that is reminiscent of the North Star found on the state seal. This is here to show the leadership and responsibility that the entire State of Maine has in producing great beer.
