Excellent tour by Bobby. Imprompto solo tour due to extreme weather, the rain and the thunderstorm only enhanced the atmosphere!

Bobby was outstanding as a Seattle historian and re: the history of beer. He was personable and friendly. We had a small group (3 total) which allowed loads of interaction. The beer and brewery selection was top notch. The tour started and ran on time. We would definitely recommend this tour to Seattle visitors.
