Get a taste of Portland for free
Portland is known for its food and drink scene. Breweries are a big hit in the city with 58 local breweries hopping up IPAs, Porters, Ales, Lagers and Stouts. An added bonus are free Portland brewery tours. Many brewery tour companies in Portland charge $50+ for tastings and brewery tours. Ditch the company and take a self guided tour at some of Portland’s best breweries.
Reminder: Wear closed toed shoes for tours. Check to see if reservations are required.
