Stop At: Shipyard Brewing Company
86 Newbury St, Entrance is on Hancock Street, Portland, Maine
Founded in 1994, Shipyard is one the largest breweries in the State of Maine. The legendary partnership of Fred Forsley and Alan Pugsley of Shipyard Brewing, is not one to look past. Starting in Kennebunk as Federal Jack’s Brew Pub, Shipyard made their way to Portland in 1994 after they grew out of their space only a year later. Even now, with new breweries opening up all over Portland, they continue to be a huge player in Portland’s craft beer industry today.

Stop At: Portland Beer Hub
320 Fore St, Portland, Maine
This is the house that Novare Res Bier Cafe built, as that renowned Portland beer bar provided the impetus for its owners to open Liquid Riot nearby. Formerly known as In’finiti Fermentation and Distillation, this is one of the country’s few combinations of restaurant, brewery, and distillery in one place. The space is striking, with floor-to-ceiling glass separating the three sections so customers can ogle the producers at work. The beer is varied, and the spirits range from clear to brown, with many in barrels for the long haul. Please note that tour stops may change without notice due to events and the availability of staff at each venue.
