Great tour of local breweries with a good variety of beer samples. I especially enjoyed the “behind the scenes” at Nonesense.

Thanks so much for joining us on the beer tour! We're so thankful to have brewery partners who welcome our tours in to see how the magic works, and even more thankful they make such good beer. Thanks again for joining, and we hope to see you again soon!
It's nice to have a small group for this tour. There was plenty of time at each location to socialize and make new friends. We've been on other beer tours and the guides have been more entertaining and informative than this one. It also appeared that the last brewery was not prepared for our group of 9. We did get generous samples and a bottle of water after the second stop but no snack, contrary to the tour description. With 22 breweries in the area, we thought we'd see more of Portland but two of the three breweries were just a block from each other.

We're very sorry to hear that this tour did not meet your expectations, and thank you for providing your feedback. No two brewery tours are ever the same given closures and brewery availabilities, and although we work to make the experience consistent every tour, there is still room for improvement. We value all feedback in our attempts to grow, so we will take this seriously when approaching tours in the future. Thanks for joining us, and thanks again for your feedback.
This tour was interesting and the tour guide was knowledgeable about the area and history of each brewery we visited. It was a nice small group experience.

See a bit of city and learn some facts. Find all the breweries in the old port area. Great to do right away on your trip for logistics and beer.

The tour guides were great, good beers/cocktails, and great ambiance. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Huge shoutout to Joe and Elise!

Thanks so much, Jabari! We love hearing this — Joe and Elise will be thrilled to know they helped make your day such a hit. Great drinks, great people, and great vibes — that’s what it’s all about!
The beer tour was nice and we really enjoyed the tour guide. The problem was the description stated it would include snacks and none were provided. It was a two hour tour with only beer that started at 12pm, so a bit surprising.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

We do offer a light snack on the van, so we’ll be sure to follow up with our team to make sure this isn’t missed in the future.
