    City Brew Tours Charolette

    Tyler was excellent. Very knowledgeable about all aspects of beer and brewing as well as the city of Charolette. Vehicle was very clean and smelled great. Would highly recommend!

    Disappointed

    Sheryl_B, Jan 2024
    Being with my daughters. We felt mislead by the advertising. Where were the actual beer flights. The only place we got a flight was at the restaurant. Otherwise the tour guide gave us a small glass and poured a wee bit at each stop.

    World of beers!

    Caroline_L, Oct 2023
    Our guide, Jan, was incredibly knowledgeable and the people we met were lots of fun. In the future, guests should be advised that you won't be eating until 2.5 hours (and several beers) into the tour!

    Emme_S, Feb 2023
    Vinny is so knowledgable. I was amazed by how much great info he shared with on Beer. This was so much fun!

    We had a blast!

    Erica_M, Jan 2023
    Vincent was great! We had a blast learning and drinking! We were celebrating my husband's birthday, it was a great choice to make some memories. I'm not a fan of beer but ended up having a few that were very tasty! We highly recommend this tour!

    Vinny is the MAN!

    Brittany_T, Jan 2023

    Thorough introduction

    Good experience with a very enthusiastic guide . Nice choices . Had a good time and highly recommend.

    A great day out - highly recommended!

    shan_s, Jun 2022
    I had a great day out with host Vinny, whose mixture of beer science, friendly humor and passionate energy for the amber nectar always kept everyone engaged as we visited 3 craft breweries, sampling a flight of 4 beers in each one, not forgetting the flight at the Smokehouse where you could opt for a barbecue lunch or giant salad! As we enjoyed the beer, Vinny kept us on schedule for our tastings, driving us safely around and always ensuring we were looked after at the bar. Even if you were there for the ride rather than the beer, it was an enjoyable day out, and in no small part thanks to Vinny's charm and wit - thanks man!

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Thank you so much for the feedback! Hope you come back and see us again soon!

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Thanks Cynthia! Glad you learned something and had a good time!

    The best brew tour yet!

    Darlene_R, Apr 2022
    I have been on many beer tours and this was the best. Vinny was great and had the best explanation of how beer is made. Thanks to him I finally get it. We tried a variety of beer and the meal was delicious. We will definitely go again if we are back in Charlotte. We also will try other City Brew Tours.

    Response from Host, Apr 2022
