Riding the Barrel Bus was such a fun experience. The bus was so cool inside and the atmosphere allowed all groups to get to know each other and create one big party. All the people, and tour guide Ted, were really fun. The breweries were generous, informative, and all made delicious and unique beer!

This was a very fun tour and our guide, Dave, was very knowledgeable. You see the inner workings of a small brewery which is very interesting.

I wanted to impress my New York family and the Barrel Bus did not disappoint!! It was a private tour that included stops for Italian Beefs and an underground speakeasy. I will definite recommend this to anyone who wants to WOW your guest, or just have a fun day with a few friends. I am Chicago and was delighted to learn about some hidden gems. The front office and tour guides were on point.
