Thankfully, a bounty of organized Portland beer tours will help you see the sights and sip the suds of the city dubbed “Beervana.” The following beer-centric walking, pedaling, bus, and private tours are perfect for visitors in town for a few days or locals looking for a new way to experience Portland brews.

Know Before You Go

All details are subject to change, so please get in touch with tour operators for the latest information.

Portland Beer Tours by Bike

The Oregon Brewery Trail Tour by Pedal Bike Tours offers leisurely, three-hour tours of several of Portland’s many breweries. The 5-mile (8-km) tour rides pass by eight local brewpubs and finish with a pint of brew upon return.

Cycle Portland offers 2.5-hour, easy-paced Brews Cruise bike tours that make stops at two local breweries. Along with a knowledgeable guide discussing Portland and its beers, the tour comes with a pint glass to take home, rain gear if needed, and a third pint of beer upon return. Expect up to 6 miles (9.7 km) of leisurely riding along with plenty of sipping of local brews.

BrewCycle gives groups of 8-15 riders/drinkers (they don’t all have to be from the same party) a unique trip to four central-city breweries on a giant, Dutch-inspired pedal-powered vehicle. Tours begin and end at the BrewStop, the group’s Pearl District brewpub, featuring food, local beers on tap, and happy hour deals. The company also offers a BrewBarge drinking experience on the Willamette River.

Portland Beer Tours by Bus

City Brew Tours operates three 14-passenger buses decked out with beer and Portland paraphernalia that whisk thirsty passengers on regular tours of various breweries. The all-inclusive tours, offered daily, also include a souvenir glass, pretzel necklaces, a beer journal and tasting guide, food and a knowledgeable guide.
