What an amazing way to spend the afternoon! We did the East Side route and had a blast from start to finish. Our guide made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. The route was super manageable and had a great flow. We stopped at three spots, each offering a unique vibe: Ecliptic Brewing: Great outdoor seating and delicious food. The fried chicken was a standout! Rouge Brewery: This was my favorite! Cozy atmosphere with Adirondack chairs around fire pits. Tons of random fun, including a vending machine with mystery boxes. The stops were close together, so there was minimal pedaling, and no need to be an expert rider. Overall, for the price, it's a fantastic way to celebrate with friends! read more

They stole my money. I scheduled a private ride and they cancelled it due to being robbed. It has been 2 months and I haven't received my $400 refund for a cancellation that was done by them. They are avoiding my calls and I have contacted them several times since August about the refund with no avail. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. Very untrustworthy and will not refund you for cancelled events. read more

Ok people if you want to have a great time with your friends or maybe you don't have any friends :-) this is a great way to make some. Family would totally enjoy this Especially if they are not from Portland because this is part of what makes Portland unique and weird. I don't know anyone who has went on brew cycle and not had a great time... Maybe it's because of the drinks but who doesn't want an activity that makes you laugh, exercise, get lit and possibly puke. They stopped at different breweries in there also seats where you do not have to pedal for those who just are along for the ride. Downtown Portland it is. The customer service is great too, they are super nice! What do you have to lose! :-) read more

BrewCycle Portland - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

So much fun! We did the East Side Route on a sunny spring Saturday afternoon and it was one of the most fun ways to spend the day. I was in a group celebrating a birthday and we were paired with a bachelor party and it was a total blast. The guide, Trevor, did an awesome job of guiding us around and making it a fun experience for everyone. We stopped at 3 bars and had 30-35 minutes at each spot. 1. Ecliptic Brewing: A chill bar with great outdoor seating and FANTASTIC food. The fried chicken nuggets were awesome, highly recommend. 2. Rouge Brewery: Was my favorite, incredible space with nice Adirondack chairs around fire pits and and cover outdoor seating. They also have Cornhole and a mystery box vending machine. There all kinds of random fun stuff in there and there was one labeled happy birthday for $6 with random stuff and a single birthday candle that we took to the next stop and put in some cheesecake. 3. Loyal Legion: $3 whiskey shots! Perfect spot to end the tour. Everything was really close so it really was not far to pedal at all. It is not necessary to be a Peloton pro by any means to enjoy yourself on this tour. For on only $35, totally worth it. A great option for your next celebration for sure! Also the East Side route met in a random lot off Sandy Blvd with 5-6 spots to park cars which was a nice! read more

What a hootenanny evening pedaling up, down and around the Pearl and Alphabet Districts on the big bad bodacious Brew Cycle on Halloween night. Boo! It was a little creepy and spooky, so misty and drizzly Halloween night. Boo! We were cranking our butts off or not (some seats require no pedaling). I was wearing orange and black, my varsity, high school sweater and my wife was my girlfriend wearing my varsity jacket--- dare I say from 1970. All in costume, there was Batman & Robin, Superman, 3-eyed golden girl, 3 vampires dressed alike (all friends who grew up together in India), 2 hilarious Minions and other ghoulish fun peeps! So we did the "Monster Mash" and pedaled off to party at 3 breweries for more fun, games and beer and beer. We went with friends we knew and connected along the way with all--cuz all had one thing in mind this macabre night--to "Party On!" Lucky Lab was beer, pizza and getting to know you better time. McMenamins on 23rd was beer, shuffleboard and spirited chit-chat. After more beer and singing "Go Gail, Go Gail" and more crazy talk and laughs, time to board the Brew Cycle one last time. Now picture us all leaving Bridgeport Brewery while pedaling in the Pearl Alley and waving our arms back and forth and singing loudy! Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, hey hey, goodbye! We did draw attention. Peeps on the streets waved and yelled. Cars beeped beep beep! Tons of fun! Don't let the rain stop you! Brew cycle is a hootenanny on wheels! Singin! Dancin on the pedals! Partyin! Gimme more! And we did the mash! The monster mash, it was a graveyard...brew cycle...and brew...smash! Let the good times roll on Brew Cycle! read more

BrewCycle Portland - Brew cycle Halloween night! Boo! - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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. read more

This was one of the most fun things we did while in Portland, especially great for our group of 9! We made reservations online a week prior and showed up a bit early for our appointment at 2pm. While lounging around, they have beers on tap for you at HH price of $4 a drink --awesome way to start and end your brewcycle journey! There's also some tables and games to play and pass the time. The large bicycle has 12 seats on the side with two that don't pedal because it's on top of the large wheel. There's also another bench on the end that fits 2-3 passengers. Throughout each stop, we rotated so that everyone had a chance to cycle. Don't overestimate this, but cycling this thing was tough. It only got harder as we had more to drink with each other. Either way, it was a lot of fun as we had the music blasting while singing and pedaling. For our trip, we made stops at PINTS Brewing Company, Old Town Pizza & Brewing, and Fat Head's Brewery. We had a good amount of time at each brewery and really enjoyed ourselves while making friends with the other people in our group. Our driver really made the trip extra special for us and pushing us to cycle up the last inches of a hill --awesome experience! read more

So it was raining, didn't stop the energy of 13 people pedaling thru portland oregon. Me and 3 of my friends had the pleasure of trying out the brewcycle. We stopped at three breweries on this adventure, ten other people joined us for this adventure. Pedaling full speed by yourself does not make you go any faster keep the pace with everyone else if you do your pedals will go loose so catch up. The group consisted of a fellow from Austrialia, and the rest of the group from LA. We sample and pulled off to 3 separate breweries, 1st brewery did have a dark beer similar to guiness, the second brewery was a combo bar/pizza shop, the last bar was brewery/restaurant. In between each bar was about 15min of biking each, nothing really uphill until we headed back to the base. The establishment actually offers you a brew of their home blends and 3-4 local blends from other spots. The experience was worth the $30 per person. They did offer an aux cable to plug in your phone each time we would bike. So total 4 djs between the 3 stops. The guide was surprisingly from the bay and didn't mind that we played some too short on our way to the 3rd bar! He seemed nice he did know the words to the whole song haha!! Definitely something to try when you are in the area, down a brew then work it off to the next spot works out perfectly haha Breweries *** Price $$ you have to pay to sample at each brewery Service **** very friendly staff, would be nice if they threw in some key notes of areas we are biking thru or places to visit Ambiance **** whats not to like your outside, excercising, then downing beers read more

This was so much fun! We chose a 6 person triple threat route to celebrate my 21st birthday with family. Our guide was Sam, we all loved her. I was hesitant because we weren't on a big cycle, but the 6 person bike was faster so we had more time at each stop, plus it was less cycling work for us all-- haha! We stopped at a brewery, cider house, and a place known for their whiskey. Loved them all. Brewcycle is a must do in Portland! We think we're going to make it an annual family outing read more

BrewCycle Portland - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Such a fantastic way to check out some of Portland's local breweries! If you get there early, you also can head over to the Back Pedal Brewery tap room and try some of the brews they have before you start your tour (carb loading, anyone?) My boyfriend and I signed up for the NorthWest Route and Eric was our brewtour guide. We initially signed up for the 12:30pm tour but due to low numbers, we were asked if we could switch do the 3:30 time. No prob for us- we're on vacation! We were with a group with some young bucks who were in Portland for a bachelor party. We Eric was a fantastic tour guide as he was really laid back, knowledgeable of the area, and was helpful at giving suggestions of what beers to try at the 3 stops- Lucky Lab, Lompoc, and BridgePort. Eric was open to one of the bikers DJing, which naturally I volunteered, and we were able to sing along to the beibs as we biked from one place to the next. Eric even shared some of his delicious chocolate and chips with us- such a stand up guy! I'm sure other bike-beer tours in the area are great, but if you're looking for an incredibly fun and unique experience this is the way to go!! read more

A good one time experience. A very Portland experience. I wish that drinks were actually allowed on the bikes. I feel like this is falsely advertised. Also, they only allot 25 minutes for each stop which is like just enough time for one drink. It felt rushed. Also, would not recommend if you are short or have short friends. It was hard to pedal. Our captain was wonderful however and she did an excellent job. read more

This was one of the daytime activities for my bachelorette last month. They don't allow bachelor parties FYI, which I'm curious about. We did the Old Town route and went to three places, all with food and beer. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work (peddling) and the other people we shared our bike with were chill too. I've done one in San Diego, but it's fun to check out different brew cycles in different cities. read more

i had a great time! it's easy to make friends even when you are by yourself - i guess when you are lucky to be paired up with a group of fun people who are willing to adopt you! i'd recommend for anyone whose new/visiting Portland and like to bar crawls... be warned though - you do need to do all the works! the 'driver' is just there to make sure you are paddling towards the right direction - which is good i guess, you get to drink, have fun, and do some cardio! it's located at the back pedal brewing - which is a legit brewery too, so get there early and grab a beer there before your trip! read more

BrewCycle Portland - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My friends and I decided to do this tour last minute! Luckily for us, we were able to book a tour the same night on a Saturday. The only one left was the Northwest Route at 6pm. We were hoping to do an earlier tour, but it's actually quite fun biking at night! We had a really fun group and a great tour guide. We biked to 3 places and every time, we switched seats because some seats don't have a pedal. It's a pretty slow ride, like walking pace, so I don't think helmets are necessary (they don't provide it). We had about 25 minutes at each place. Even though we got stamps for discounts at places, I know one of the places we went to didn't accept the discount. I don't remember if the other 2 did. But coming from the Bay Area where the prices of drinks are 3 times the price of drinks here, I'm not complaining! I think it's a good experience! The first bike ride to the first brewery might be a little awkward, but when everyone warms up, it gets more fun! The ride back was the most fun, I think because everyone had a few drinks in them. They also ask what type of music you want to put on, and you can even put your phone music there! I think it's a unique experience to bike around together and experience some of the bars/breweries in Portland! read more

I went on the Brewcycle last night with my friend for her birthday and it was beyond FUN!! We were just visiting Portland for a few days and it was a great activity!! We showed up about an hour early and enjoyed some of their beers. The Pineapple Beer was AMAZING! Taylor was very informative and friendly. Lek was our Brewcycle driver and he kept us entertained the whole trip. We stopped at 3 breweries and were so lucky to have the BEST group! Since it was just us two we were a bit nervous about that, but we were all best friends by the end. If your thinking about doing this, DO IT! Well worth it and I'll definitely do it again next time in Portland. Thanks everyone :) read more

So much fun, got a little exercise, tried some new beers. Lots of entertainment. Thanks, Jesse!

I had a lot of fun on this tour! Definitely a cool touristy thing I did with some friends while visiting Portland from the Bay Area. Basically, you pedal around in this 13 seater bike to downtown breweries with other beer enthusiasts?!?! Sure? Take my $30! In reality, it's more of a bike rental than a tour. It would have been awesome if our guide actually spoke about the city, spoke about the locations we were going to, spoke about the local beer scene, spoke about anything. We'd bike to one of our stops and our guide wouldn't even go inside until it was time to tell us to bike to the next stop. We did the Old town tour. One stop was legit, the other two were OK. We basically biked a rectangle and pretty walkable if you wanted to. 1. Pints - More like a small bar 2. Old Town Brewery - More of a pizza shop that just has beers on tap. 3. Fat Heads Brewery - Best stop of the day. Huge brewery, great taps, plenty of selection of local beers. The downtown brewery scene is insane. You have two breweries literally next door to where you start your "tour" at. The highlight of the day, we had this fellow from Australia (super hipster with a handlebar mustache) and when it was his turn to play DJ getting handed the aux cord, he played some random Aussie ballad songs. He was jamming but our whole group just kinda looked at each other all wtf and laughed. Fun peeps, fun ride even though it was rainy, had some beer at some cool places, I just see some room for improvement. read more

My ass feels like an altar boy's after an epic Sunday. Thank you, BrewCycle. This thing is a workout. Especially for people under 5'10". It goes super slow, but it has to go under 10 mph in order to be a slow-moving vehicle. Some of the cars behind you will see you rollin' and they'll be hatin', but just smile and wave. And maybe put a bird on it...if they deserve it. There are bar tops on the cycle, but you can't drink while on it. That's the crappy part. The awesome part is that it's hilarious, fun and a total spectacle. Everyone will be looking at you, taking photos/videos, fist-pumping. Charlie rocks, the BrewCycle is unique, the middle of the cycle can be used as a dance floor (bring your iPod!), and we found that you look way better riding this thing if you have a mustache. read more

Let me start by noting that I've written over 95 Yelp reviews and this is only the eighth review that I've rated with a perfect five stars. If I could, I'd give it more! My night out on the town with BrewCycle was an absolute blast! If you don't try Brew Cycle you are missing out on life! I was in Portland for a wedding and decided to head over to Bridgeport for some grub and grog. Outside of Bridgeport was some sort of bicycle contraption with a bar built on it. Ahh, weird, unique, quirky Portland - I had to check it out. So I asked the "bar bicycle driver" (later I found out her name was Andrea) about her contraption and she explained to me that pub crawlers power the bike by cycling and she steers. Really? Amazing! Lucky for me, Andrea had a seat open on her pub crawl bicycle so I jumped on. I met up with two other groups and the 13 of us peddled our way from Lucky Labrador, to Rogue, then to DeSchutes and back to Bridgeport. Laughing, drinking, and peddling the whole way, no doubt, this was the most fun I've ever had with 12 strangers! Imagine laughing, drinking and peddling your way from brewery to brewery as onlookers cheer you on and take your picture. Every corner we turned had envious onlookers and with all of the camera flashes you would have thought it was the paparazzi. As we cruised the streets with tunes pumping (Andrea has a stereo onboard her cycle and guests can bring their iPod and playlists) we encountered a lot of people who were curious about this wonderful contraption and wishing they were on our pub crawl...and I can't blame them because there is just something fun about cruising around Portland on a bike and singing along to Queen's "Bicycle Ride" as you approach microbreweries. This excursion was an absolute blast but equally as impressive as her ride, is Andrea, the entrepreneur and owner of BrewCycle. Andrea is an awesome business woman and is wise beyond her years. She is personable, delightful, beautiful, level headed, pragmatic and a visionary. Sitting and chatting with her after the ride/crawl was so fun and interesting. Andrea is sure to show her guests a good time but she is also very responsible. She safely navigated the streets for us and was great about warning us about bumps, asking us to stick out our arms to signal (yeah, you haven't lived until you're on a bicycle built for 15 with 7 hand signals for any given turn), and ringing her cow bell when crossing intersections (we need more cow bell!). I am so glad that I stumbled across BrewCycle (and stumbled off of it five beers later) this past Saturday night and I highly recommend it to anyone of the legal drinking age. This is a great activity for birthdays, post-wedding activities, other assorted celebrations or because you want to be envy of Portland. Heck, I didn't know anyone else on that bike and I loved every minute of it! (As seen on TV: MTV's Real World Season 28 filmed in Portland) read more

Aww, I'm so glad my friends and I decided to do BrewCycle last minute on a Saturday when we were visiting Portland! Our guide, Liam, was super chill and pumped our entire group up to continue pedaling our hearts out during different legs of the trip! We made three stops to three different breweries (Lucky Labrador Beer Hall, Lompoc Tavern, Bridgeport Brewing). There were 15 of us all aboard on the Brewcycle, which was well lit with continuous changing colored lights and speakers! It was actually really fun pedaling around with music blasting (either your guide will plug in her/his music or someone can plug in their phone to DJ!) and the general public cheering us on. The cycle doesn't actually travel faster than walking pace, so there's no additional buckles or anything keeping you on the cycle except for yourself! My friends and I were lucky that our entire BrewCycle group had really awesome and friendly people. The majority of our group sat together at the different breweries, chatting it up while sippin on our drinks. You only have around 25ish minutes at each brewery, which definitely amounts to no time, so speed is key! If you're trying to just sit and chill on a beer, going on this BrewCycle journey might not be for you. Although it was fun, I don't think I'd do this again based on the price point of $30 per person. I thought visiting the different breweries through BrewCycle would've at least given us a discount when we ordered our alcohol, but I don't think we were given a discount at any brewery. I was definitely under the impression that we'd be able to drink while we were cycling around, but I realize that that's totally illegal LOL .... Definitely a fun experience depending on the group you're with, but I don't particularly think it's a MUST-DO in Oregon. read more

We had a great time but some of the small hills were really difficult (for me at least). That might have to do with my lack of regular exercise the past few years - because I did admit, these hills were small. There is a bench in the back that seats 3, and seats over 2 wheel wells that don't have peddles so 10 of the group is pulling the weight of 15 people - plus the driver. That was my only gripe - and only because some of my friends did not want to give up the bench seats or wheel well seats and rotate out of them. We were given adequate time at each brewery and our driver was really personable (Mysha??). We did the Trailblazer route (rated semi-difficult on the website, which I hadn't noticed) and started at Back Pedal Brewing Co and all had a beer. We then went to the Lucky Lab, Lompoc, and Bridgeport Brewing Co. By the end, we should have peddled off enough beer to drive home safely, but some of those beers are 7% alcohol so you definitely want to take a bus or Uber/Lyft to and from the event. I would highly recommend this event - but make sure your friends rotate so you don't end up all grudgy like me. haha read more

Brilliant concept, brilliantly executed! A friend of mine had a birthday and (thankfully) decided to celebrate by going on this lovely cycling pub crawl. The Brewcycle has a fifteen person capacity which is the shape of a car and the cycling passengers face each other and the owner and fearless leader steers the vehicle to each brewery destination (check out their website for pictures of this amazing contraption). The bicycle/vehicle comes equipped with 10 pedaling seats, and 5 seats for the lazy folks. The tour starts at one brewery and continues to several others (per the interest of the group) and then finishes where it started. The price is more than reasonable and the experience of having everyone in their cars and on the streets staring, laughing, and generally enjoying the brewcylce makes it a great way to entertain out-of-town guests, kick-off a bachelor party, celebrate a special occasion, or generally celebrate summer and beer in Portland. I can't wait for my next brewcycle adventure! I know this is a new business and I expect their practices will alter slightly with time, so check out their website for the latest updates and informaiton. read more

SO. MUCH. FUN. I love doing touristy things and this was one of the better tours I've been on. The crew is awesome, they make sure everyone is having a great time! We made a reservation for the 4:30 Old Town Route. Luckily for us, they grouped the 1:30 group with ours so we had enough people to go out during our time slot. Our entire group was also divided as half of us signed up for the Old Town Route and the other half signed up for the Northwest Route. The staff did a great job at making sure we hit the bars that everyone wanted to go to even though that meant that half of us went to Fatheads while the other half went to Deschutes. The two of us arrived just a few minutes early and the staff gave us a warm greeting. We signed our waivers and got all checked in and were offered $4 pints while we were waiting. Although we got there with little time to spare, we didn't feel rushed to finish our beers or anything. We had a 12 person group so everyone had a pedaling seat. I'm 5'3" and I could reach the pedals just fine. Our Brewcycle had 4 adjustable seats so if you're a little bit shorter, make sure you get to sit in one! Our tour guide, Michael, was just on his third training shift but was super awesome! I think with the way this tour is set up and the nature of the Brewcycle itself, there is no way you can't enjoy yourself. My boyfriend and I went out with 10 strangers on a super rainy and cold Monday and we still had a blast! Someone plugs in their phone for music and color changing lights create a fun vibe while everyone is pedaling away their cardio for the day. Do not underestimate the work it takes to make this thing move because even with all of us pedaling, my legs were burning by the end of it! All of the places we went to gave us $1 off of our drinks for being with Brewcycle so that was awesome! We were always the last one to order at the bars but also still had about 15 minutes to drink it so we never felt super rushed. By the end of the tour all of us were comfortable with each other and we even made new friends. Just passing by people on the street and in the cars and seeing their reactions makes the experience worthwhile. You just really can't NOT smile on this thing! read more

BrewCycle Portland - Fun on a rainy day! - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

A fun experience and definitely a must needs to be on everyone's must-do list for those that live in Portland or visiting! It's enjoyable for people of all fitness and skill levels. Did the TrailBlazer route and enjoyed the 3 breweries we stopped at. It's about a 2 hour experience and you meet at Back Pedal Brewery. Our guide was Kyle and he did a fantastic job and pointed out things of interest and got us around safely. I definitely will be back to try the other routes! read more

If you're traveling with a huge group of friends and looking for something fun to do in Portland. THIS IS DEFINITE A MUST!! Our group of 9 had a blast, and it was the highlight of our trip! Met up at 12:30 with group for our tour. They have beer here too, so you can start off by chugging a beer. Aaron was our driver, he explained the rules and then we're off. Huge TIP: You need to chose a good playlist, I'm talking something everyone can sing too, and also put in WORK to. Ya feel? Our choice? 90's THROWBACKS. Nothing like good old BSB, Spice Girls, Savage Garden, Nsync etc to sing your heart out to, while bike to push 9 other people. Warning, some seats don't have pedals, so make sure the lazy friends get the front few seats.. Haha. All in good fun though! Oh! Another tip, get 2nd or 3rd seats if you're short since they're adjustable!! The tour itself lasted about 2 hours. 3 stops, and 25 mins at each brewery. Remember, the faster you get to the place, the more time you'll have at each stop. So wear some comfortable shoes/clothes! This is a workout. Most people don't realize they'll probably be pedaling harder than expected and you're most likely going to be a lot more drunk that you plan to be as well. I know that was the case for our group. Lol. Butt is still extremely sore from the biking. We stopped by: PINTS: I really didn't want to drink at this point so shared a blondie with my friend. It was alright. Old Town Pizza, shout out to our SJ homie, Britney! Very cool chick! This is when we really got amped up. Had a couple shots. Tried their pizza and garlic knots, which were yumzz by the way! Needed some carbs to power us up for the ride. Haha. Fat Heads: Good bar, nice ambiance! It was a little sad that they ran out of Jameson, and the shots were pretty disappointing. We ended up having so much fun, we just stayed at BrewCycle contemplating if should go on another ride! Overall, it was an extremely memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to everyone!! read more

I've never been a big drinker of beer, but this ride was fun regardless!! We did the Northwest Route. You get to choose the music to blast while peddling, so it was really fun because we all took turns choosing music to sing to! SERVICE - The people working for BrewCycle are incredibly nice!! They have a rule where the specific time for a bike ride may be cancelled if there are not enough people (clearly stated on website), so I was worried when it was two days before our scheduled ride and there were no other riders for our time. I called BrewCycle, and they promptly helped me switch to another time that still fit with our itinerary. It was easy to handle due to their excellent customer service. Our bike "driver" was named Alec. He was very fun and enthusiastic! The group for our time slot was all girls, and he constantly motivated us to keep peddling hard when we reached a hill or we were slowing down. It was really fun, and he cracked jokes with us the entire time. In addition, he was very prompt and kept us on track with our time at each bar without being rude or pushy. BARS (Lucky Lab, Lompoc, Bridgeport) - All three of these bars were nice, and the servers were quite friendly!! We ordered a flight at Lucky Lab and shared it among four people - I recommend doing this if you want to get a taste of many flavors at each place. Also, the 2nd and 3rd bars had mixed drinks if you want something besides beer. Disclaimer - Don't go on this if you're expecting a lot of time to relax at each bar. With only 25 minutes at each bar, it can feel a bit rushed but it was no problem for my group who just chugged the drinks and kept going. I thought the fun times on the bike made up for the shorter times in each bar. read more

So much fun! Charlie is an awesome guide. Knowledgeable about the different brew pub stops as well. We did this to entertain clients and had a wonderful time. I will say however, if you are under 5'4" it is a bit hard to reach the pedels. Still fun none the less! Great concept and nice to tour around the city. They had an iPod dock which was great. I would certainly recommend this to anyone. Prices are definitely reasonable. read more

This was the best thing that we did in Portland on our whole trip! We really did not know what to expect, but we kept an open mind, which led to the funnest 2.5 hours ever. (I could have easily done this for 5 hours) We got to pedal our way to 3 breweries while being entertained by group sing-a-longs to Destiny's Child and other crazy 90's pop music. It's been a few weeks since we did this, and it still brings a smile to my face. If you're a slow drinker, definitely consider getting a taster size or making sure you are first in line at every bar so you got more time to finish your beer. read more

If you're a fan of beer and a fan of bike riding then what are you waiting for? Combine the two and do the BrewCycle! I was a first time Portland visitor and the only brews I consume are cider so this was the perfect way for me to see a bit of downtown Portland and taste what their delicious local breweries were offering up. Our wedding party had a BLAST! Pro tip: Definitely have a light meal before embarking on this booze cruise. read more

The Brewcycle is awesome and was one of the silly highlights of our mini honeymoon in Portland, Would I ride the cycle again? In a heartbeat. Walking up, the front of the place is pretty nondescript, but there waiting was one of the cycles. I hadn't looked up the photos previously to the ride (I have no idea why) and realized that these were pretty huge! Decked out and sturdy - I was impressed. Inside there is surprisingly a bar in the back and some tables to hang out at before or after your ride (depending on the time). It was simple, but clean. Before we went on the bike, we needed to sign a waiver which was very easy. It just took a second on an iPad. I found this process well done. Also, there was this awesome vending machine with all kinds of fun things like packets for late nights, books, trinkets, disguises etc. We chose "find your spirit animal". I received the elephant and he the pig; both came with some sayings and overall it was super fun. Then, after a bit of a wait - it was time to ride. Our guide was fun, outgoing and was a pleasure all the way through. We were able to play our own music and out of the other 3 groups we all came up with some jams to ride to. The three breweries were great, though the last one was CRAZY crowded. Each was very good in its own way and talking with the other groups was awesome. It was easy to make friends and have a good time. Overall, it was a great experience and I wish California had this! If I find myself in Portland again, I'm going on the Brewcycle. ***The only thing I didn't love was that while the Brewcycle feels pretty safe, we were kind of rushing to get in front of the tram (could it have stopped?) and I believe our guide had a beer at the last brewery. While this isn't terrible, he was the driver of the bike and I like my guides sober. The bike seemed pretty safe overall, but these things are the reason for one less star. read more

My husband and I have gone on several tours in the past (wine tours, food tours, city tours, bike tours etc) and we have always made friends on the tours. On this brew cycle we were 2 people in a group with 8 people who were prior friends. Very awkward. Also, we have gone on a brew cycle in the past in a different city and we were able to drink on that tour. On this Portland tour we could only drink at the bars and we only had 25-30 minutes to drink at each bar. So we left the tour kind of annoyed and very sober. I would suggest if you want to go in a group to rent the whole vehicle. read more

Dan the host was awesome! He made sure we had a great time and gave us very insightful information on other local bars for us to go to. Overall a fun time! read more

BrewCycle Portland - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

You put 12 adults in one party bike, riding around to various bars, chugging one full sized 16oz beer, and pumping party music as we go; how can one not have fun? The concept and personal experience overall is 5 stars. However, the tour we took (dive bar) is only 3 stars. $30 per person for the dive bar tour- 3 bar stops with discounted beers. The dive bars were..... "divy". I didn't actually enjoy them much, to be frank. But again, I love the concept, the bike, the group that was on the bike with us (was crazy fun, loved the music from the playlist of one of our groupies), and I enjoyed the beers I had at Brew Cycle itself. If you want to have a good time in Portland while drinking, this is a pretty good way to get in a 2hr + beer ride! read more

Bf and I were looking for touristy things to do in Portland, specifically related to beer. We came across brewcycle and decided to give it a try! We signed up for an 11am tour on a Tuesday. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly faces and a small taproom where we could have a beer before departing. We chose to save ourselves for the tour. Our tour guide (I forget his name... Dark longish hair..sorry!) gave us the rundown and we were on the way. It was funny because I really think most of us thought the harder we pedaled the faster we'd go, but the pedaling is really just for the hills. If you're downhill or flat it requires very little work, and actually maxes out around 3mph lol Our first stop "Pints" I believe had me a little confused. We walked in and the bartender asked what we wanted. I guess I thought that BrewCycle would have coordinated with the brewery. The bartender did eventually ask if we were with a group, which I believe gave us $1 off our beers. We weren't allowed to order flights during the tour. We also stopped at two more breweries which were similar experiences. To be honest the breweries didn't have the greatest service, so that left something to be desired. While on the bike we did have a lot of fun, I kind of wish we went further. This would be a lot of fun with a bachelor or bachelorette party, and the folks at brewcycle were a pleasure to spend a couple hours with. Some more organization/collaboration with the brewery stops would add to the experience for me. read more

BrewCycle Portland - Lots of fun - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Oh my gosh, this was SO MUCH FUN! Everyone had a great time and there were so many laughs. The driver John blasted great tunes while people in Portland waved at us and smiled. The beer at their bar (BackPedal) is also really tasty if you like a good sour beer. It's a completely doable price which is nice too. Just be aware that they will call you to move you around to make sure you have enough pedal power (aka people) and sometimes you can get moved around to a different style tour, based on numbers of riders. read more

BrewCycle Portland - BrewCycle Portland! - Bar Crawl Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Highlights; Drink Beer!, meet new people, get exercise, do in afternoon vs. evening. If you can drink a pint in 20-25 minutes otherwise order a little one. I got the impression some bar guests and the bar stops don't really care for the cycle tourists coming "in herd" loud and leaving. Brew Cycle just opened their own pub. We didn't try but it's a convenient pint, not much for atmosphere. Overall it's great fun if you wanting to entertain guests or a group. Personally I'm one for sitting at one or two holes jaw jacking with the locals but I appreciated BC concept its fun.. read more

This is an amazing experience you can't miss out on when in Portland. Michael, our tour guide was so energetic, funny and just brought our experience to another level. You go to 3 bars while on the brewcycle, each lasting 25 minutes at each bar. The crowd we were with was a bachelor party and we couldn't have asked for a better crowd to share this experience. Play your favorite tunes while cycling through the city. The pedaling itself isn't hard if everyone does it together. We absolutely enjoyed this once in a lifetime experience! read more

Portland + Brews + Bike. You cannot go wrong. Andrea, the owner and front person, was so personable and fun. It was so nice to meet her! Our tour guide, James, was fun and patient. The breweries they chose were each so different and unique and it made the experience so much fun. The bike hold 15 people so we met a bunch of strangers that became our beer mates by the end of the night. It such an affordable, once-in-a-life-time experience (living in Vancouver), and I highly recommend it to anyone who visits Portland. Thanks so much for a fun evening. read more

first off, Liam is awesome. He has the perfect charisma for the job, is super upbeat and makes the experience memorable and fun. We were gifted the Brewcycle tour from a friend in the area. We arrived 10 minutes prior to the start of our tour, had a quick beer while we waited at their bar and headed on our way. There was only 6 of us, which apparently is a very small amount of people. It was definitely a bit difficult to get the big bike up some hills but it made up for the calories of the beer that we consumed. I think that this is an awesome idea and is super fun for tourists, but the bars and breweries that we went to did not seem to be anything special. $20 seemed to be an awesome price for the experience, but I would never want to go back to the bars that we visited. read more

JHad such an amazing time! Definitely worth the experience. I have never done something like this before and it was so awesome bringing people together to have a great time like this! The bike was a struggle..it wasn't fast at all lol However, it was a blast! Only thing I would change is maybe going to bigger and better breweries. My favorite was Bridgeport. The other two were just ok. We had a 12pm tour today and our guide was awesome. FULL of energy....POSITIVE....outgoing!! Love it!! Thanks guys!! Btw...while you wait... Candyland and Operation are where it's at! Board games at your reach!! read more
