Welcome to the Maine Brew Bus proudly offering Brewery Tours in Portland, Maine and beyond!
We’ll head out on the bus to our first stop to taste the worlds oldest fermented beverage: mead. While mead, or honey wine, is typically heavy and syrupy, you’ll be pleased to find that the team at Maine Mead Works has developed a light, dry, modern take on the formula. They’ll sample us on their extensive list of variations before showing us some of the secrets to their success.
Our next stop, run by a husband and wife, is Rising Tide Brewing Co. The name, taken from the famous quote “A rising tide lifts all boats,” encapsulates the collaborative spirit of the craft beer industry, and the loyal following of locals speaks to the young company’s community engagement as well as to the quality of its beer. We’ll thread our way through the thirsty crowd and retrieve samples for you to enjoy while you learn about the largest brewery in Portland’s booming “yEast Bayside” neighborhood.
Our last stop is the newest brewery in the greater Portland area. We are heading to South Portland to Fore River Brewing Co. Started by 3 friends in a old salt storage building which they renovated with repurposed material. We’ll sample their beers by the fire while they share their story.
At the end of the tour, we’ll be dropping you back at The Craft Beer Cellar, which is a terrific place to start the rest of your Sunday evening in Portland if you desire!
