The bus takes beer lovers from venue to venue on an all-inclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of Portland’s craft breweries. At $55 per person, the tour bus varies which breweries it makes stops at depending on the day of the week and the theme of the tour (tours run midday on weekends and weekdays, lasting for several hours).

One of the best ways to visit all of them is to take The Maine Brew Bus, which hits up a ton of breweries in the Greater Portland Area. August 17, 2016
