DJ is very knowledgeable and we enjoy ask questions and him being able to answer them. We had a small group and it was wonderful. The pace of the tour was also excellent. We were able to enjoy each place. Sadly I left my tasting glass at our last brewery.

Paul was a great guide, knowledgeable, good beer variety. I have been on many beer tours before, this was the best one.

If you love beer and like trying new styles, you'll enjoy this. The tour was led by a friendly and knowledgeable person. I was also good to share the experience with the others in the group.
James_D, Nov 2025
Our tour guide, Paul was super knowledgeable about both beer and Denver history. Our group was on the smaller side, so we all got to know each other as the tour went on. My husband and I had a great time and would highly recommend this tour.

Chris was great and extremely knowledgeable. Loved all the breweries we visited. Had enough different beer experiences that everyone could enjoy. Well worth the money to take this tour

Great time Good history Good beer great way to see Denver downtown districts. Bit noisy at some locations to hear guide give info.
Beth_C, Oct 2025
Absolutely AMAZING! We enjoyed the entire experience, our guide Paul was fantastic! Paul shared so much information not just beer and brewing knowledge but Denver history. We really enjoyed ALL the beers and appreciated the opportunity to try flavors we typically wouldn’t have thought we’d like. Tour typically comes with 10 beer samples, fortunately we had the opportunity to try 11! Really was a great tour, highly recommended!! Cheers!

We had a great time. Chris did an excellent job with information about the city and beer process!!!!
Ronny_C, Sep 2025
This was a fun activity for a late afternoon. A bit light on the history part. Guide was nice, but really hard to hear because the stops were touristy and each had loud music playing.
Sarah_R, Sep 2025
Paul and DJ did a great job! Really enjoyed learning about all the beers offered in the area and more about the brewing process.
Felice_T, Sep 2025
We had such a great time on this microbrew tour in Denver! AJ and DJ were excellent guides—knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole experience feel really welcoming. We got to try a variety of delicious local beers, learned a lot about Denver’s brewing history and culture, and even made some new friends along the way. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a mix of great beer, good company, and a fun way to get to know the city!

AJ was a great tour guide!
The brewery’s she selected were great.
The beers she selected were fun and interesting.
melinda_w, Aug 2025
We had the best time. Aj was amazing. I would recommend on your first day. Beer was cold and the tour we got of the town was amazing
Kim_W, Jul 2025
Really fun experience, our guide Matt was fun and very knowledgeable about beer. Great to walk around the city a bit and get to try different breweries. If you like beer, you won't be disappointed!
Schlinke, Jul 2025
What a cool tour. A great mix of beer drinking, beer history and downtown Denver information. Matt was a wonderful guide and cool human making everyone feel comfortable and sharing his knowledge freely.
Julia_P, May 2025
Such a great, fun afternoon with A.J. She was brilliant and very knowledgeable - we tried quite a few different beers - very delicious - a great value and very fun way to spend time in Denver.
Elizabeth_C, May 2025
Matt was amazing! Highly recommend this tour. He was very knowledgeable and helpful and made it such a memorable fun experience. My birthday was a hit with such a fun group and Matt truly made it all worth the trip.
Julie_V, May 2025
Highly recommended! Would definitely do this again. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. We had so much fun and met people from out of state.
Adrianna_W, Apr 2025
Matt was extremely knowledgeable and just had this amazing energy! We LOVED our experience! Would be curious to tour how they make the beer next.
Katie_W, Mar 2025
I am not a beer drinker but I sampled everything and was a very fun tour, highly recommend. We got to the meeting point early and had a meal there before the start of the tour. Guide was knowledgeable and fun, did a good job of getting to know everyone in a group of about 12 people. One of the stops was long enough to order appetizers along with the tasting. Would book again! Said each tour can be different depending on the seasonal beers. For sure enough to go around and you pour your own sample if you don’t want too much and the leftover pitcher is open for seconds.
Dennis_C, Mar 2025
Paul is a great tour guide who knows his beers, his local history, and other fascinating details. He is very approachable and personable. And the drinks were pretty good of various styles
Chris_P, Jan 2025
Paul's tour had a terrific selection and variety of beers. We went to four locations and the walks between them were pleasant. Paul imparted interesting accounts to us about beer, brewing, and the local area and characters.
Karen_D, Dec 2024
Great your! Our Tour Guide ~ Matt did a fantastic job! Hosting our family and friends from Philly. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Jillian_E, Nov 2024
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the beer and local history of the spots we went to. Very engaging and personable. Would highly recommend to locals and visitors alike!
Alan_B, Sep 2024
We both really enjoy craft beer of all styles, and this trip provided plenty of variety of this. The tour leader Steve was very knowledgeable about beer and the area with plenty of amusing stories, facts and anecdotes. The group was a nice size not too many of us and Steve made sure everyone was involved and had a great time. All in all I would definitely recommend this tour I thought it was worth every penny.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi Alan!
I’m so happy to hear you both had a great time on the craft beer tour! I love sharing all those fun beer facts and stories, and it’s great to know the group size and vibe worked out so well. Thanks for saying it was worth every penny and for recommending the tour—it means a lot! Hope to have you back for more craft beer adventures in the future.
Cheers!

Hey Erik!

Thanks!

Sara was a great guide with unbelievable background knowledge. She was interesting and got the entire group to engage (even with people we were not traveling with). Only wish that beer selections were more unique as we sampled some beers that I can buy in a grocery store in my home state. I wish we focused on beer I cannot buy at home. However, her ability to find samples for everyone was outstanding.
Prior to the tour I sent a couple messages regarding inquiries on parking and never got a response (months prior and day prior). Wish whoever reviewed those would have responded to assist.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Hey Peter,
Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your fun experience with us! I’m glad to hear that Sara made your tour engaging and informative—she’s awesome at making sure everyone has a great time.
I'm so sorry we missed your questions about parking. That’s not the experience we strive for, and I’ll be looking into what happened there.
And thanks for the notes on the beer selections. We try to mix up the beers served while also showing some of the classics. That being said, I hear what you’re saying and we’ll make sure to try to focus more on the unique beers along the way.
Thank you so much for the feedback! It really helps us get better. Please shoot us a message at 303-578-9548. We'd love to see what we can do to make up a less-than-perfect experience!
We hope you’ll give us another shot next time you’re in town—we’d love to have you back and show you some brews that are harder to find!
Thanks!
Steve
