MENU ABOUT USFIRST KNOWN AS THE MAINE BREW BUS...Maine Brews Cruise was initially founded as The Maine Brew Bus in September 2012 by husband-and-wife Zach and Allison Poole.The all-inclusive tours and experiences provide guests a behind-the-scenes look at Maine's craft breweries, distilleries, wineries, and more. Over 35,000 people have been connected to Maine's craft alcohol producers since tours began almost 10 years ago.In early 2020, they announced they had acquired a majority share of Brews Cruise, Inc., a company that licenses and supports craft beverage tour operators around the United States. In April 2021, Maine Brews Cruise aligned its company with the national Brews Cruise brand.Our guests enjoy having an expert guide and often a dedicated driver to lead them to both established and up-and-coming producers. This allows them an opportunity to learn much more about the craft alcohol business than they could learn on their own.That first summer proved that Maine's Original Brew Bus was a very popular tour with locals and visitors alike. Exciting new tour routes were added on weekdays, and newly opened producers embraced the idea of having "The Green Bus" stop by so that guests could taste and tour at their facilities.By the time our first anniversary rolled around, nearly 1,500 guests had taken tours and The Maine Brew Bus had become the #1 Tour in Portland as rated by TripAdvisor users – an enviable position that they maintain to this day. Maine Brews Cruise offers regularly scheduled and private tours in Greater Portland and Southern Maine. Some tours are partnered with local minor-league baseball and hockey teams and include game tickets as part of the tour package. We also offer frequent specialty and adventure tours, such as the popular Birds on Tap – Roadtrip! series, the Zymurgy Home Brew tour, History of Portland Beer tour, local Coffee and Tea tours, and new offerings produced throughout the year.In each year starting in 2014, The Maine Brew Bus has been presented the coveted TripAdvisor "Certificate of Excellence" for outstanding guest reviews. We also received an Editor's Choice award by Down East Magazine as a "2014 Best of Maine" recipient and were selected for Portland Buy Local and Entreverge awards in 2015.In March of 2017, The Maine Brew Bus acquired a similar Portland-based tour company called Maine Beer Tours.For more information about the Greater Portland Region visit the official travel website.
