Brewvana played a huge part in my falling in love with Portland. This is such an incredible way to experience beer-Mecca. Ashley (owner and tour guide) is a rockstar. It's amazing how deeply incorporated she is in Portland beer culture, particularly for being so young. She has a ton of beer knowledge but more importantly she's so well known by... More

Fun culture, and diverse people u will see on the tour. The sour beer on the tour, was one of my favs, raspberry, grape, almost like wine or champagne, but was beer. Highly recommend, if u are a consumer of flavorful beer. More

We were attracted to the Brewvana tour because they specialize in in microbrewery tours (not a general tour company that just happens to have a beer tour). We were not disappointed! :) The tour was a blast! We went to four different micro/nano-breweries, sampling 3-4 beers at each. Nikki was an outstanding guide...helping us learn about the breweries, beers and... More

My friends and I loved this tour, despite most of us being from Portland. Having all the logiestics taken care of while gaining "insider" access to the breweries and brewers was quite the treat. Our guide, Nikki, was fantastic, and created a fun environment that kept the energy flowing! More

I've lived in Portland for nearly 30 years and consider myself pretty well-schooled in craft beers. But I learned a lot on the Brewvana tour and had a bunch of fun doing it. Ashley Rose is a knowledgeable and spirited tourguide ... and one who adapts to her tour group. Taking a Brewvana tour on your own is fun, I'm... More

My wife and I took a recent trip to Portland to get a taste of the thriving food and micro-brewing culture that we had heard so much about. We were looking for some sort of brewery tour when we stumbled upon Brewvana we were not disappointed. Ashley was an excellent tour guide who was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about beer...

Brewvana tour was a great way to get to know the beer side of Portland, which is a huge part of the local culture now. Not only were we entertained, and introduced to some wonderful types of beers, but we got to meet new interesting people and see in behind the brew pubs where all the hard work is done. More

Ever been in a town and not known anybody? Brewvana will solve that problem and introduce you to unique mircro-breweries in the process. Ashley gives the "new to Portland" person the opportunity to meet fellow beer lovers and connect with the premier micro-breweries of Portland in the process. Pass this one up and you will be a beer novice forever. More

We had such a great time on this tour with Ashley Rose! There was plenty of beer to go around, lots of laughter, and great food. The pretzel necklaces were a nice touch, as were the Brewvana pilsner glasses. We will definitely do this again! More
