What’s Included in Every Brewery Tour Booking
Every brewery tour runs on the same standard — whether it’s a 3-taproom afternoon on Mississippi Avenue or a full-day road trip to Bend’s brewery district.
Your Breweries, Your Pace
You pick the breweries or tell us your style (IPAs, lagers, sours, stouts) and we suggest a route. Stay 20 minutes or 90 at each stop. Your driver moves when your group moves.
Flat-Rate Day Pricing
Your tour is quoted flat for the day. Hit 4 breweries or 7 — the price doesn’t change. No mileage overages between SE and NE Portland, no toll charges to Hood River.
Everyone Drinks
The whole point of a brewery tour is that nobody drives. Your driver handles every mile so everyone orders the full pour, tries the flight, and enjoys the day.
Door-to-Door From Portland
We pick you up at your exact Portland address and deliver you home at the end of the day. No meeting point, no park-and-ride, no driving to a staging lot.
Growler & Merch Space
Every vehicle has cargo space for 4-packs, growlers, crowlers, and brewery merchandise you pick up along the route. Buy at every stop — it all rides home with you.
Brewery Tour Rates
All tours quoted flat by hours, vehicle, and pickup location. No per-mile between taprooms, no toll charges to Hood River. Additional passengers: +$10/person.

How Your Brewery Tour Works
This is where rental cars and rideshare both fail beer drinkers — somebody doesn’t drink, or everybody splits into 4 Ubers between stops. Here’s how we run it.
Step 1 — Tell Us Your Style or Your Brewery List
Send us your date, group size, and either a list of breweries or just your style — ‘hazy IPAs on the eastside’ or ‘lager-focused, walkable.’ We build the route and quote flat.
Step 2 — Your Driver Picks Up at Your Door and Heads to Stop One
Black minivan or Sprinter at your Portland address. Your driver takes you to the first brewery and stages on the block.
Step 3 — Multi-Stop Crawl at Your Pace — Add, Skip, or Extend Any Stop
20 minutes for a quick flight or 90 for a full session with food. Bartender recommends a spot down the street? Your driver takes you. No fixed schedule, no group bus timer.
Step 4 — Late-Afternoon Return — Growlers in the Cargo, Everyone Home Safe
After the last pour, your driver takes the group home door-to-door. Growlers, 4-packs, and merch ride in the cargo. Split drop-offs if the group’s heading to different addresses.
Portland’s Brewery Districts
Portland has 70+ breweries across every neighborhood. These are the brewery districts where taprooms cluster within walking or short-drive distance — ideal for crawl routing.
Inner SE — Wayfinder, Baerlic, Cascade & Portland’s Densest Brewery Zone

Top Breweries We Drive To
These are the breweries our passengers book most. We’ve staged at every one — here’s what to expect, what to drink, and where your driver will be.
Great Notion Brewing
Portland’s most hyped brewery. Famous for haze-bomb IPAs and fruit smoothie sours. Alberta taproom is always packed — arrive mid-afternoon for the best seat. Driver stages on N Alberta.

The lager brewery that changed Portland’s IPA obsession. Full kitchen, covered patio, and the best pilsner in Oregon. Popular first stop on eastside crawls. Driver stages on SE 11th.
Breakside Brewery
Multiple Great American Beer Festival gold medals. NE Dekum taproom in Woodlawn with 20+ taps and a full food menu. The brewery Portland locals brag about. Driver stages on NE Dekum.
pFriem Family Brewers
Belgian-influenced ales and lagers with Columbia River views from the waterfront deck. The best brewery restaurant in Oregon. Driver stages in the Hood River waterfront lot.
Full Sail Brewing
One of Oregon’s original craft breweries, brewing on the Hood River waterfront since 1987. Session Lager and Amber are icons. Tasting room with Gorge views. Driver stages on the waterfront.

Portland’s sour beer pioneer. Barrel-aged fruit sours that draw visitors from around the world. SE Belmont taproom with 20+ sour taps. Driver stages on SE Belmont.
Ecliptic Brewing
Space-themed brews from a Deschutes and Full Sail alumni. Rooftop patio on Mississippi with a full food menu. Popular mid-crawl stop between Stormbreaker and Ex Novo.
Double Mountain Brewery
Hood River’s local favorite. Wood-fired pizza and hop-forward ales in a no-frills downtown taproom. Often paired with Full Sail and pFriem for a Hood River brewery trifecta.
Deschutes Brewery Portland
Portland outpost of Bend’s flagship brewery. Full pub menu, 20+ taps, and the Pearl District location makes it an easy first or last stop. Driver stages on NW 11th.
Crux Fermentation Project
Bend’s most scenic brewery — Cascade Mountain views from the outdoor fire pit area. Experimental fermentation and a rotating tap list. The highlight of any Bend brewery road trip.
What Makes a Private Brewery Tour Different From a Guided Bus Tour
We’re not a guided tour company with a script and a timer. We’re your private driver. Here’s what that means for your brewery day.
No Fixed Itinerary
Loving the sours at Cascade? Stay another round. Bartender recommends a spot you hadn’t heard of? Your driver takes you there. No bus schedule, no 20-minute timer.
No Tour Guide Script
You don’t need someone reading brewery facts from a binder. The taproom staff are the experts — we just get you there safely and bring you home.
Growler, Crowler & 4-Pack Storage
Buy a growler at Great Notion, a 4-pack at Breakside, a T-shirt at pFriem — it all goes in the vehicle. No carrying bags between stops, no worrying about dropping glass on the sidewalk.
Food Stop Integration
Most crawls include a food stop. Portland food carts between taprooms, pFriem’s restaurant in Hood River, or a late-night run to Luc Lac after the last pour. Your driver follows the plan.

Private Brewery Tour vs. Guided Beer Bus vs. Walking & Rideshare — Which Fits Your Crew?
Three ways to do a brewery tour in Portland. Only one lets you change the plan mid-pour and keeps the whole crew together.
Guided Beer Bus
A beer bus hits 3 breweries on a set route with 25–40 people you don’t know. You get 20 minutes at each stop — barely enough for one pint — and leave when the guide blows the whistle. The bus schedule decides your day, not your taste buds.
Walking Between Breweries & Calling Ubers
Walking works for the first 2 stops on Mississippi. By stop 4 in a different neighborhood, your group is split into 3 Ubers, someone’s at the wrong brewery, and the surge hits at 5 PM. Total cost: more than a Sprinter that kept the group together.
Private Brewery Tour
Your driver picks you up at your door, takes you to every brewery on your list, and brings everyone home together. Add a stop, skip one, stay for the second round. Flat rate, no surge, no lost friends.
