DISCOVER PORTLAND’S BEST CRAFT BEER. GAIN EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO ICONIC BREWERIES AND HIDDEN GEMS ON OUR ALL-INCLUSIVE TOUR
Who says morning beer is off-limits? As the adage goes, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, and besides, you’re on vacation time.
Kick off your Maine exploration with Portland’s Original Beer Tour, navigating through Portland’s eclectic neighborhoods to discover both emerging and popular breweries dotting the landscape.
Portland’s Original Beer Tour sets off early, diving into the brewery world first thing, featuring three stops at industry darlings like Goodfire Brewing, celebrated for their flagship Citra IPA, Prime. An early start means more time to enjoy breweries’ extensive, often experimental, draft lists.
This bus tour’s final tasting will be held at Portland Beer Hub, the home of Maine Brews Cruise. Portland Beer Hub is a combo beer bar and retail space in the heart of the Old Port. The selection here includes beers from over 30 breweries across the state of Maine, many of which are stops on our most popular tours. 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.
