Outstanding. My family of 4 included two non-beer drinkers and the experience was great for all. Raj was our tour guide and made all the difference. The non-beer drinkers discovered options they could enjoy too. We went three breweries, and Raj was super knowledgeable & hospitable. Thank you!

Bill was very knowledgeable and presented a lot of interesting information. Various beer selections were very good. Sorry Sam Adam’s was not one of the stops

We had a great time on our brewery tour. Our guide gave us lots of history, was funny, and very personable. The four breweries we visited all had their own twists and specialties. Joe, our guide, knew so much about the brewing process and differences between beers. We learned and laughed a lot. Lunch was awesome too. This was worth the money and we would definitely do it again.

Tour guide was great very informative. Destinations were horrible. Like deserted bars nobody has heard of. Samuel adams brewery looked great only gave us 2 small samples and rushed right out. Why didn't we try a few?. Food was mediocre.
