About

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.

Please note that tour venues and details may change without notice due to unforeseen circumstances.*
