Portland's Best Craft Beverages Bus Tour
Description
Most recognize Portland, Maine for its vast selection of local craft breweries. And while we retain the title for ‘most breweries per capita,’ we’re experiencing profound growth in our craft beverage scene including a range of spirits and locally produced wine. Neighborhoods like Portland’s East Bayside are brimming with craft beverage options to suit any taste, from Three of Strong’s small batch, organic rum to wines from Blue Lobster Urban Winery which are blended with Maine wild blueberries and apples from local orchards. The third stop of the tour concludes at the Portland Beer Hub, the home of Maine Brews Cruise, and a blend of beer bar and retail space in the bustling heart of Portland’s Old Port. 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.
