The Unique New Hampshire Brewery Tour You’ll Remember Forever

If you have ever traveled to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, you have probably been drawn here by the rich history, scenic waterfront, and quaint New England charm. But did you know you can also enjoy one of the most unique experiences in New Hampshire when you visit? If you are a lover of craft beer, there is an unexpected tour that you will definitely want to put on your travel bucket list. Hop aboard the Nachobus and get ready to enjoy the vintage ride and some fantastic beer stops along the way.

The official name of this unusual brewery tour may be Sample Craft Breweries in a Vintage VW Bus, but craft beer tasting is just part of what will take place on this incredible adventure. The small-group tour includes a bit of history, some interesting local sights, and, yes, some stops at amazing local breweries. It is no wonder this tour is one of the most highly-rated local Airbnb Experiences in Portsmouth.

What to Expect From This One-of-a-Kind Experience

The craft brewery tour is led by an expert guide named Neil, who will meet you and your group outside of Earth Eagle Brewings. Neil is a friendly and funny guy who is bound to impress you with his vast knowledge of the local brew scene and the history of Portsmouth. When he started his craft brewery tour in 2018, it was the first of its kind in North America. His tour has since become a popular local activity.

Your tour will start with an introduction to the area. Neil will also get an idea of which types of beers each guest prefers. Then it is time to load into the Nachobus! This bright yellow 1968 Volkswagen Bus will be your transportation for the next few hours.

The tour includes tastings at three to four local breweries, including stops at both Loaded Question and Liars Bench. Guests typically choose flights or half-pours, but you can order as you wish. These leisurely stops are a fun way to learn about the local beers and make some new friends. Upon completion of the tour, the Nachobus will drop you downtown, where you can explore even more of the city.

Who This Experience Is Perfect For

The Sample Craft Breweries in a Vintage VW Bus tour serves as the perfect introduction to the city. But it is also lots of fun for locals or those already familiar with Portsmouth. The tour accommodates up to five guests, making it an ideal experience for small-group celebrations, bachelorette parties, or friends' getaways. A second bus can be added to the experience for larger groups.
