Solo birthday beer 😻

Abby_R, Sep 2025
Well, it was my birthday and originally my husband was supposed to go with me, but unfortunately he got food poisoning so I went solo. It ended up being a great time. I learned a lot about Portland and of course tried some incredible beer. My tour guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend it!

Happy belated birthday, Abby! We’re so glad you decided to celebrate with us, even if the day didn’t go quite as planned. Pete will be thrilled to know he helped make it a fun and memorable experience — cheers to turning a solo outing into a great story!

It was great company. Our group was a great time and the guide was nice, but there was not much information provided about brewing/history/types of beer. There definitely was not a behind the scenes brewery tour. It was a good time with good company but felt like batmr hopping with friends... Something I could have done in my own.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience, Arshita. We’re so glad you enjoyed the group and had a fun time overall. It sounds like this particular tour leaned more toward the social side, and we may not have delivered as much brewing insight as you were hoping for in that moment. Our goal is always to offer both a fun experience and a meaningful look into Portland’s craft beer scene—including brewing styles, history, and local stories. Your feedback is a great reminder to stay tuned in to the interests of each group, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share it. Cheers!

Must try!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for joining us! We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring the Old Port, learning some local history, and of course tasting some great beer. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to your guide — cheers!

A new appreciation for craft beer

The tour and guide were great. Pete, the guide was very knowledgeable about beer and the history of the area. His information and the tasting of about 12 different beers gave me a new appreciation for craft beer! Book it, you won't regret it!

Made new friends on the tour. It was a great experience, visited local breweries we would not have known about.

Worth it!

Very knowledgeable about the local beers, breweries history’s. Overall the beer production and companies in Maine. History of Portland was great too.

Tom was an excellent guide. He provided us with the history of the city/state as well as the beer! It was a great time with the people we were with. Tom is fun and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone!
