Tipples and Mash Tours

Tipples & Mash Tours is a walking tour of Salem’s breweries, cideries and distilleries. Guests sample drinks from local producers while learning about the city’s brewing and distilling history from their guide. Founder Kelly Jaser says Salem is more than ghosts and witches, and she hopes both locals and tourists find places on the tour that they enjoy and come back to, mixing the old and new in Salem’s tour scene with a boozy twist.

Jaser, who calls herself a “spirit guide,” came up with the idea in early 2023 after noticing that no tour focused on Salem’s beverage scene. She brings more than 15 years of experience in outdoor education, tour guiding and wine and spirits knowledge, with a résumé that includes work as a professional pretzel twister and guiding guests on a deserted island.
