We COULD NOT recommend this experience more! David did an incredible job of showing us the local and national spots in Chicago, and making it feel like a pub crawl without feeling touristy. We will definitely do this again the next time we're in town!

This experience was great, very knowledgeable staff, the barrel vehicle was awesome and very creative. All 3 breweries visited were great and of course delicious beer! Would highly recommend.

We celebrated a 30th birthday and this tour was amazing! We had all age groups and array of different taste buds within our group! Lake Effect brewery had quite a few samples and was very knowledgeable about the business! Revolution had games and offered your own choice of a pint! Goose Island had a prepared flight ready and offered quick appetizers that were enjoyed by all! Ted was a great driver that got extra good at counting to make sure each of us was back on the bus! I highly recommend this tour and can’t wait to go on another tour with this company!
