Discover Portland, Maine’s vibrant craft beer scene combined with scenic urban cycling on a private guided tour. Explore historic neighborhoods, iconic landmarks, and local breweries all in one memorable adventure.
3 Hours • Ages 21+ • Brewery Biking Tour Around Portland! • 100% Private!
We offer private tours for groups of 6 - 14. Look no further for the perfect bachelor(ette) party activity, corporate outing, or family and friends get together. No matter the occasion, a private Maine Brews Cruise is the best way to gather your people and have an incredible guided experience of the local beverage scene in Portland, Maine!
After meeting your guide, checking out the bikes, and a brief safety talk, it will be time for you to hop on and pedal as a small group towards the first brewery.
The bicycle-based tour guides will ride along with the group to each location, where a selection of craft beer samples that are included in the ticket price will be ordered.
Each tour features a three-mile route mostly on mixed-use paths where no vehicles are allowed. On the paths that we will be using, we will be biking right along the ocean with scenic views of many islands in Casco Bay.
Along the way, we will make a few stops to learn about Portland’s rich history. There is plenty to talk about from the Maine Law to the Rum Riots to Prohibition.
At each brewery stop, we will learn a little bit about each company, meet the people responsible for delivering quality craft alcohol, and sample their various products.
After biking our way to each of our stops, together we will head back to the starting point with a better understanding of Portland’s thirst for outstanding craft beer and other alcohol.
