The best tour I’ve taken in a while. Our driver Ted was witty and knowledgeable. We visited 3 breweries and each one was unique in size and atmosphere. It represented a great value, and by the end of the tour, the group developed an organic camaraderie (I guess that’s what a couple of beers will cause)

We had a great group!! All small groups that didn't know each other. By the end of the tour it felt like we always knew each other. Dave our driver was great!!

Great beer tour that takes you through several interesting Chicago neighborhoods to visit three various sized breweries. Our driver/guide, Ted, was very cool and safe. Plenty of samples, I believe 11 in total on our tour, to help create a fun time.
