Portland is famous for a lot of things, for its bridges, its six months of rain, and more and more for its other liquid asset, its beer. The city has just eleven bridges, but thirty-nine breweries (and counting!). In fact, the city of Portland is one of the beer capitals of the world! We now have more breweries than any other city in the world, recently even surpassing Cologne, Germany! Perhaps that’s why so many people have started calling Portland “Beer-vana.”
On this tour you’ll have fun discovering the art and science of brewing. You’ll find out what made Portland the epicenter of America’s craft brewing renaissance, learn some of the history of Portland’s transformation into one of the world’s premier craft brewing centers, and, of course, you’ll also get to sample its fruits firsthand. On this tour you will visit three of Oregon’s premier craft breweries, learn about ingredients and the brewing process, and sample a selection of Portland’s finest craft beers.
