What a blast! We had the whole car for a group event. Alex was the perfect guide for our cycle. He was easy-going, fun, and very flexible with all of our moving parts. We do the cycle every year - a crowd favorite. Cant wait for next year.

I had an awesome time with my friends. We did the old town tour. Theres just enough time at each location to get a pint or a couple of tastings before youre off to the next place. By the end I was pretty trashed (there may have been shots involved at one point). The tour guide, Liem, was hilarious and directed a good time.

What an incredible experience! We booked for a birthday and I can’t think of a better way to have spent the day. Liam was so great. Entertaining, fun, and he really made the day awesome. We will 100% be back for another adventure! Highly recommend!

A BLAST! highly recommend going with a group of 6-8 and letting the rest be strangers (cycle holds 12). it’s the best environment to make new friends and memories. consider doing it for a birthday!

Came here for my stag, interesting experience to pedal after the first stop or 2. Our guide Elise was great, one of my boys lost his wallet and she walked the route with us looking for it. Bartender also made fantastic recommendations. Recommend if you want to immediately work off the beer calories.

A lot of fun! Three cool stops with good craft beer. Also met nice people from all over the country that was in our group. Only problem was that you barely have enough time to throw down one drink at each stop. Could have used about 5 more minutes at each stop. Eric was a great tour guide for conversation!

My team booked a full bike for a team building activity during our annual training week. We had attendees from 5 countries and everyone loved it equally. The team at BrewCycle was excellent, allowing us to book based on the time that worked best with our schedule, and swapping bars mid-route due to personal preference of those on board. While it was pouring for the entire experience, we didnt get wet while on the bike and thoroughly enjoyed it. This is now a go-to activity for our team.

During our visit to Portland everyone seemed to talk about this BrewCycle program where you sit on a giant bicycle with 14 other people and ride around Portland visiting different breweries. We got lucky and booked the last two seats for an 11:30 AM ride. The meet up location was at a brewery called Back Pedal, and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by a lovely young lady by the name of Janet. She informed us a little bit about what we were about to expect and minutes later she told us to meet outside where we can sit on the bike. The greatest part of this whole thing was getting on and off the bike, each time was an experience of its own. As soon as we hit the road Janet put on some amazing songs and was a great cheerleader for us to pedal faster. Riding around the streets of Old Portland was so much fun. We got to see old historic buildings and streets along with some interesting people that kept waving and filming us. We finally got to the first brewery and it was so interesting. The beers were only $4.00 and each time we stopped everyone started mingling and getting to know each other. We had about 25 minutes at the first stop. After a couple of beers we hopped back on the bike and went to the second location. We had the absolute best time listening to great music and laughing while pedaling through the streets. The second location was an old historic building and it had turned into a pizzeria. We had some interesting flavored beers and got to know people that were with us in the group who actually live in Portland. They told us some really cool facts about the city and some amazing recommendations for restaurants. By this time it was safe to say that we were all a bit buzzed. 25 minutes later we were back on the bike and headed to the third location. As we kept peddling we would see more and more people getting excited to see us riding through town with loud music. Finally arrive to the third and final location and I had one of the best beers I’ve ever had: grapefruit IPA. It was so citrusy yet bitter m yet refreshing all at the same time. After a short amount of time there we had to come back to where we started and we were all a bit sad because we did not want this tour to end. So much so that we spent about 10 minutes outside just taking photos as a group with the one and only amazing Janet.Special thanks to Janet and Andrea for organizing tours as much as fun as this one and for showing all of us a great time and keeping us safe while doing so.

It was a fun and quirky experience. Lloyd was an awesome guide, he made the experience entertaining from the start. We pedaled to four different bars and breweries. Even when the streets were busy with cars, the drivers were kind and supportive giving us some cheers or waves. The tour ends at a great tap room with a good Mexican food restaurant next door. This was a memorable adventure and simply a fun way to spend an afternoon exploring around Ladds Addition area, drinking good beers and getting some exercise!Thank you again Lloyd for the great tour.Tyler

This is a very fun and unique experience! We did the Northwest Route and had a blast! Everyone was from out of town so it was a great way to get out and do something different while experiencing some of the great breweries Portland has to offer. Our guide was fantastic. I would definitely recommend BrewCycle and would like to do it again soon!

Fun enough but also quite pointless.I pay someone to let me pedal the brewcycle around and pay for my own beer at breweries I could visit on my own and I dont get to drink and ride at the same time.Just walk and then you wont be rushed as theres barely time for a drink at each place and forget getting food unless its something instantly ready like french fries.

We decided to book this as a fun activity for one of our three days while visiting Portland. Most people were in their 20s, early 30s. One older couple. Pedalling was pretty easy. The bike vehicle only goes 7mph max.No drinking on the bike. Can buy beer at each bar. $1 off some bars.Our group was fun and I would definitely recommend it!

Fun but hard work! And you have to like the places the tour goes to. The first one was a decent brewery, the others were dives that were pretty forgettable. We knew this going in at least.

I booked this beer tour for my group of ten friends during a long weekend in Portland. It was a ton of fun pedaling and playing loud music, while meeting the other people on the tour. Our one complaint was we only had about 20-25 minutes at each stop, which wasnt enough time for everyone to order a beer and drink it all. I sadly left many half full beers behind.

We went on a Bachelorette Party weekend and it was the perfect activity -- all of the girls had so much fun! Our driver was super friendly, the bars we went to were great (we went the dive bar route) -- it was the perfect amount of time and got the day kick started nicely :) Thank you BrewCycle!

Super fun brew tours on a massive 15-seater cycling machine - ride through the streets of Portland in a rowdy group feeling buzzed. Work out the alcohol by peddling the machine forward to your next destination. A must visit for craft beer lovers and anyone looking for a few hours of fun in the city.

These tours are always filled with rowdy, screaming drunk people, and follow the same routes without taking into account that people actually live in the buildings they pass several times a day. This may be fun for tourists, but the concept is really annoying for the community.

Review №34

Yes, we looked like dumb tourists...but thats cuz we were. If you want a tour of awesome Portland breweries and get a beer buzz going at 11 in the morning, you gotta do it in style. Our female driver was incredibly friendly and offered a lot of great tips for touring the city. We got flipped off (double fingers!) by a couple of hipsters (I guess for bringing tourist dollars into the city) and honked at once, but we were having too much fun to care. The driver handled it with ease...and thanked us for being so cool about it. I highly recommend this company for any big group traveling to Portland!

The wait to get into 10 barrel too long for you? Then walk next door and get yourself a freshly brewed beer over here. Beertenders are a little standoffish but someone claims thats because theyre more brewers than customer-focused beertenders. They have guest taps too if you want to explore other brews.

The tour left us behind (a couple with a group of 9) and the tour guide Jessie didnt give us a 5 minute warning or even talk to us when they left van ebert brewing. They sent a passenger back after they pulled away without us.
