* Portland is a city that loves dogs, but some of bars on the tour may not allow Fido to join. We recommend leaving the pooch at home for this tour. Also, Old Port is full of cobblestone roads and awkward curb cuts making it a challenge in some places for strollers and wheelchairs. Please keep that in mind.

We’ve built a help guide within the app if you have any questions as you go. If that doesn’t solve your problem, our team is always just an email away. Just shoot us a note at: support@brewsandclues.com

It was a lot of fun! You didn’t feel like it was nearly 3 miles long because the stops are nicely spaced out. You get to experience a lot of historical landmarks while enjoying some equally great bars and pubs! The trivia is fun and challenging with a few tricky questions 😉 We liked that it was self guided and we were able to go at our own pace.
