The Port City Beer Tour Showcases Maine’s Microbrew Heritage!

Often referred to as a Nirvana of craft brewing, Maine has the fourth highest concentration of micro-breweries in the country and is home to many respected
breweries, brewpubs, and beer gardens. Taste while you learn what goes into your favorite beers, how they are brewed, and the sheer variety and creativity of the craft brew movement in Maine!

This leisurely-paced, half mile walking tour carves a path through the streets of the Old Port, once home to rum runners and speakeasies, now a bustling community of beer aficionados! We will be visiting four locations including Maine’s first brew-pub since prohibition, a multi-award-winning brewery, Maine’s original “ale house”, and wind up in a beer garden deemed by Imbibe magazine as “one of the 100 best places to drink beer in America” with 25 drafts, 2 hand pumps and over 300 bottles to choose from! Sampling Maine’s finest at each stop, you will learn the history of brewing in Maine and the United States, taste some of the ingredients that bring distinctiveness to these unique recipes, and learn how American style brewing compares with international styles. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with one of Portland’‘s finest brew masters, often on the job.

Our friendly and engaging tour guides will offer you a behind-the-scenes look at those who craft and serve one of America’s favorite beverages, and share with you the unique local history of beer brewing and drinking here in the ‘Port City.” Light snacks will be served and the tour will end just two blocks from our original starting point.
