Thursday Beer Lovers Tour  6-9pm $69/ person

Breweries visited: Base Camp, The Commons, Migration

Our Thursday Beer Lover Tour is the perfect way to spend an evening imbibing. It’s a good mix of learning about beer, the brewing process and having a great time. The tour visits three Portland breweries – Base Camp Brewing, The Commons Brewery and Migration Brewing. We begin in inner SE at the hot, new Base Camp Brewing with a behind the scenes tour and a full sampler tray. Next we head to The Commons Brewery and their intimate tasting room for a sampling of beers inspired by the European traditions that are the basis for farmhouse and Flemish style ales. The grand finale of food, fun and beer trivia takes place at Migration Brewing.

 

Friday Behind The Scenes Tour  1-5pm $79/ person

Breweries visited: Buckman Botanical, Widmer, Laurelwood, Upright

If you think behind the scenes action, meeting the brewers and seeing where the magic happens is super fun, this tour is for you! Our Behind The Scenes Tour visits 4 breweries. We begin at a small botanical brewery that shares space with a nano brewery located inside a SE pub that features 49 rotating taps. After sampling beers there, we then head to Portland’s largest brewery for an explanation of the brewing process and a tour at their facility. After tasting more beers, we head to Oregon’s first organic brewery to enjoy food, more beer sampling and a walkthrough of their brewery. Our last stop is a casual tasting room inside a brewery that specializes in farmhouse ales with a pacific NW twist.

Note: MUST WEAR CLOSED TOE SHOES ON THIS TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Saturday Imbibing Tour 12-4pm $79/ person

Breweries visited: Coalition, Hopworks, Burnside, Lompoc Side Bar

Our Saturday Imbibing tour is a good mix of learning about beer and the brewing process and having a great time. The tour visits 4 different Portland breweries, and we get one, very detailed tour of the brewing facility led by a brewer.  Our first spot is a very small 10 barrel brewery in the inner SE where we taste their handcrafted, highly drinkable beers that reflect traditional brewing techniques and NW innovation. We then head to Portland’s first eco-brewpub that offers handcrafted organic beers in a sustainably built and operating building for a full brewery tour and learn about the brewing process.  Next we travel to a brewery that focuses on easy to drink beers that accompany and enhance the culinary experience, for more beer samples and incredible food. Our last stop is a special tasting room that features a variety of barrel aged and seasonal beers that are only available in the tasting room where we hang out and play trivia.

 

Sunday FUNday Tour 2-5pm $65/ person

Breweries visited: Gigantic, Bridgeport, Amnesia

If your main idea is to have a great time, and you are less interested in behind the scenes action, this tour is for you! Although we spend a lot of time talking about beer, we spend most of our time drinking beer!  We begin sampling at a new  brewery in SE that is known for being awesome. Next we head to the Portland oldest brewery that is very well known and respected, and has been practicing the art of brewing for over 20 years. After snacking on some food, and sampling fresh beer, we cross back over the river to the neighborhood’s favorite gathering spot where they brew quality beer in a converted warehouse with an outdoor patio. We sit outside and enjoy the scene as we drink some delicious NW inspired brews. HOP on the bus, and take a stroll to our favorite beer spots!
