Spirited Portland Experiences

Planning a birthday celebration? Team outing? Bachelor party? Whether you’re a group of mechanical engineers looking to geek out on steam-jacketed boilers, or a close-knit team looking for a high-proof bonding experience, or simply looking for something genuinely different to do in Portland, our distillery is the ultimate "How It’s Made?" destination. We've been craft distilling in Portland's Central Eastside since 2004 — and we love nothing more than sharing what we do with a curious, enthusiastic group.

Our group experiences are designed for people who want more than just a drink. From casual happy hours with house-made mini cocktails to in-depth production tours, each package offers a real look inside one of Portland's original craft distilleries. We offer options for every occasion and group size, and we're happy to work with corporate event planners, tour companies, and private groups to find the right fit.

the perfect social starter

Happy Hour

Looking for a casual spot to kick off the weekend or celebrate a team win? Our Happy Hour package provides a relaxed, engaging atmosphere in the heart of our distillery. Explore New Deal's craft spirits with your group: no expertise required, just a good appetite for discovery. You'll gather in our distillery space for a guided selection of mini cocktails, each made with our house-distilled spirits and crafted in-house mixers. This package is designed for groups who want to socialize first and learn second. We provide reserved seating and a dedicated Spirit Guide to answer your burning questions about ABV and aging. Happy Hour is perfect for friend groups, coworker outings, and anyone looking to add a little Portland character to their plans. It’s a low-pressure, high-spirit way to gather your crew.

the technical deep dive

Grain-to-Glass Tour

Get the full picture. Our Grain to Glass Tour takes your group behind the tasting room and into the production floor for a guided walk through the craft spirits manufacturing process, from raw ingredients to finished spirit. Along the way, you'll have sensory moments with the distillate itself, giving you a hands-on feel for what separates craft spirits from the mass-produced alternatives. Enjoy mini cocktails and spirit tastings as your group discovers the specific starch-to-sugar conversion ratios required for a perfect ferment; moves through the chemistry of yeast management, and the physics of the still; smells the mash in mid-fermentation and feels the heat of the copper stills while learning the distinct characteristics of "Hearts" vs. "Tails." This tour is ideal for groups who are genuinely curious about craft production: foodies, spirits enthusiasts, and team off-sites that want a memorable experience with some real substance to it.

our most in-depth offering

Farm-to-Flask Tour

For the group that wants everything, the Farm to Flask Tour is New Deal at its most generous. You'll get the full guided production tour — a start-to-finish look at how we source, ferment, distill, and finish our spirits — along with a curated spirit flight, light snacks, and our beloved whiskey truffles. This tour celebrates the artisans, from the farmers growing the grain to the machinists who built our custom equipment, highlighting the massive human effort required to produce a single bottle. You’ll learn how to nose a spirit like a professional and understand the lifecycle of barrel-aged spirits. It's the kind of experience that moves at a comfortable pace, leaves room for real conversation, and sends everyone home with a deeper appreciation for what goes into every bottle. The Farm to Flask Tour is especially popular for relationship-building outings, special celebrations, milestone birthdays, corporate hospitality, or anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship of small-batch manufacturing and wants to spend quality time in a genuinely unique Portland setting.
