BeerQuest delivers a solid combination of Portland history and craft beer sampling, with guides who clearly know their stuff. Otniel stands out in multiple reviews for being knowledgeable, personable, and thoughtful about pacing the experience. Madison, Tom, and Tiffany also earn praise for creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that feels more like exploring with locals than following a rigid tour script. The Weird Portland and Haunted Pub tours are the most popular options, typically including around six beer samples across two stops while weaving in quirky historical tales and local legends. Most visitors appreciate the two-hour format and find the walking manageable with plenty of breaks. The tours work well for both groups and couples looking to get acquainted with Portland's offbeat character. One reviewer did express disappointment about tour length and Shanghai tunnel access not meeting their expectations, noting communication challenges when trying to address concerns. However, the overwhelming majority had a great time, with many highlighting how accommodating the guides are, particularly when dealing with small groups or adjusting to different group dynamics. If you enjoy craft beer and appreciate local history with personality, this makes for an entertaining evening out.
We truly enjoyed the Weird Portland Pub Tour. Otneil is such a cool and informative guide. We learned so much about Portland while walking through these cool streets, great pubs, food cart pods, etc. Highly recommend this tour. So much fun!
