The tour guides were great, good beers/cocktails, and great ambiance. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Huge shoutout to Joe and Elise!

The beer tour was nice...

Jared_A, Nov 2024
The beer tour was nice and we really enjoyed the tour guide. The problem was the description stated it would include snacks and none were provided. It was a two hour tour with only beer that started at 12pm, so a bit surprising.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for joining us, Jared — we’re glad you enjoyed the tour and your time with our guide. We do offer a light snack on the van, so we’ll be sure to follow up with our team to make sure this isn’t missed in the future. We really appreciate you bringing it to our attention and sharing your feedback!

Good brews good cruise
