The Maine Brew Bus is definitely a "not to disappoint" adventure!!! We did the Saturday Brunch Tour. Had a fun time and loved experiencing 3 different craft breweries. The staff at all the breweries were welcoming and each had it's own story to tell, sharing their defeats, victories, lessons in beer making and their future goals! Our guides, Victoria and Ryan, were the best, knowledgeable, fun and engaging! Thank you. We'll be back to experience some of your other tours!

Tom and Seth were the best Guides and so much fun. The tour of the brewing process was very technical, informative and on point. Being in the brewing industry myself, I 100% approve. Great time- thanks everyone! I’ll be coming back for sure

My husband and I recently went on our second brew bus tour to do the Malts & Mariners package (GREAT seats!). The itinerary was great- we didn’t repeat any of the stops we had previously done, and two of the stops hadn’t even been open one year - they really keep up with what’s new. I was pregnant on this trip, and had a blast regardless - I even got a mocktail at Three of Strong. The behind-the-scenes info is even more exciting than the drinks. We were on the tour with a man who had gone 5 times - this is definitely a fun date night to do over and over again!

Went on the Saturday Sampler Tour 5:45-8:30 pm on 8/24/19 and had a great time! Very informative on the bus and at each of the 3 brewery's we visited. We tried 4 beers per stop, but if you asked to try another type they will oblige. Was not a fan of craft beer before this but definitely I am now. They give you a spinach pie to eat which everyone seemed to enjoy. Highly recommend doing this while in Portland, ME.

My husband & I had a wonderful time on the Casco Fiasco tour with "Major Tom" and Ryan as guide & driver. The entire operation, start to finish, was friendly, professional, and loads of fun. Lunch at Sebago was fantastic (as was the beer & Chad, the guide/bartender there), the time spent at Lone Pine was pure entertainment (love, love, love Molly!), and the introduction to sour beer at Yes Brewing was truly one of a kind. Would highly recommend the Maine Brew Bus to anyone looking for a fun & informative outing.

Our First tour - the Northern Exposure - gave us a great sample of 3 breweries without the hassle of driving (thank u Ryan). Our tour guide Nathan educated us on, not just the history of beer in Maine, but also helped guide us towards our favorite beers (Stouts) and to new brews we might not have been able to try elsewhere. Thanks guys - great time...we'll be back!
