What fun traveling from brewery to brewery in a bus shaped like a barrel. Everyone was quiet at first, but by the end of the tour we were singing and laughing together.

There is no better way to travel to breweries than in a Barrel Bus! We developed the seating system so that groups can mingle during the tour, and it is great to hear that everyone was enjoying the experience together.

So much fun!!!! Knowledgeable and professional guide who was super fun and personable. What a unique experience. I will take this tour again and would love to see them expand to other great beer towns. San Diego, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Asheville. Never visit Chicago without spending some time on this tour
