We have a new Saturday afternoon tour starting later this month designed to visit the latest new breweries opening up in Greater Portland. Check out our Breaking Brews tour.
We are very excited that there are several new breweries opening in the Greater Portland area in the next few weeks. This allows us to bring new customers right to the new producers.
Our tour guests already are regularly visiting Fore River Brewing Company in South Portland, which opened almost two months ago. Our tours will also be including Mast Landing in Westbrook, Lone Pine in Portland, Dirigo in Biddeford, and Gruit in Portland.
We have been working on designing a special tour to bring our guests directly to these new experiences and to taste the newest beers available. And now, that tour is available to book!
