Portland, Maine, is a bustling hub for breweries, distilleries, beer bars, and cocktail lounges—a far cry from its historical stance against consumption. Ironically, it was Maine’s early adoption of Prohibition that set the stage for today’s booming craft libation scene, inspiring producers, restaurateurs, and creatives alike.
On this tasting-focused walking tour, you’ll explore Portland’s beer culture past and present with guided stops at three standout breweries:
• Shipyard Brewing Company, a cornerstone of Maine’s craft beer movement for over a quarter-century.
• Brickyard Hollow, a fast-rising local favorite known for its creative brews and community vibe.
• Camp Pennant, a newer addition to Portland’s beer scene, serving up inventive beers in a fun, camp-inspired setting.
At each stop, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting and gain behind-the-scenes insights into the history, styles, and stories of the beers you’re sampling.
Please note that tour stops may occasionally change without notice due to special events or staffing availability at each venue.
