We had a blast. We visited Lake Effect, Revolution, and Goose Island. We got several samples at Lake Effect. At revolution we could get a pint of whatever we wanted, and then at Goose they gave us a flight of three beers that I hadn’t tried before, so that was good. We were also able to purchase extra beer to drink on the barrel bus, so good times were had by all. The tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. Definitely recommend this experience if you are into beer.

The tour with Ted was fantastic, we made 3 brewery stops in total. The first brewery was unique and small - very authentic. The second brewery was quaint, and had a great atmosphere. The last brewery was a little more mainstream but I am glad we went. Overall - I highly recommend!

We enjoy visiting local breweries in new cities. This tour offered a Good variety of brewery sizes, from the start down an alley to the polished Goose Island. We Enjoyed being on the bus and having a variety of ages and nationalities share the experience. I’m glad we went to Goose Island but wish at least one of their samples had been something less exotic. Ted was a great host and safe driver. It’s nice to not have to make the decisions of where to go and then figure out how to get there. The bus was clean and comfortable.
