Based in Portland, Maine, Maine Brews Cruise provides all-inclusive tours and experiences that give guests a behind-the-scenes look at Maine’s craft breweries, distilleries, wineries, and related producers in Greater Portland and Southern Maine. Tours are led by an expert guide and often include a dedicated driver to facilitate visits to established and emerging producers, enriching guests’ understanding of the craft beverage landscape. The company began in 2012 as The Maine Brew Bus, founded by Zach and Allison Poole, and operates in the Portland area. Its services target locals and visitors seeking educational, hands-on exposure to Maine’s craft alcohol scene, offering regularly scheduled and private tours and occasional partnerships that bundle experiences with other events. In 2020 the company acquired a majority share of Brews Cruise, Inc., and in 2021 aligned with the national Brews Cruise brand, with the broader network expanding to Chicago that year. Since tours began, the company has connected more than 35,000 guests with Maine’s craft beverage producers and has earned recognition such as a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence annually since 2014.
