Maine Brew Bus Brewery Tours
Portland, Maine Coast
About This Activity
The Maine Brew Bus (now operating as Maine Brews Cruise) offers guided brewery tours that transport small groups between Portland's independent craft producers. Tours provide exclusive access to some facilities not open to the public for independent visits. The bus handles the driving — guests focus on sampling craft beer, cider, and spirits while learning about Portland's production history from Prohibition through today.
