Overview
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. As a bonus, all guests snag a 10% discount on additional draft and to-go purchases.
